ITS FRIDAY AFTERNOON AT THE LIBRARY!

Hello everyone....(or whoever may read this) I am in the Union County SC Carnegie Library (best small library in the USA 2009) doing some computer work and thot I would just say a few things about Union. Union is a great place to live and raise your children. Although we presently have one of the highest unemployment rates in the country....there are many job possibilities close by and after living in Charlotte,NC for so many years...a simple 30 min. drive to Spartanburg is nothing.

I live 10 minutes west of the downtown area in the Cross Keys Area and can leave my house and be anywhere in Union within less than 15 minutes. I love it! Charlotte was a great place to live, but I sure don't miss the traffic. In Union....there is NEVER a traffic jam ! Oh my...what a relief....

Two of my grandaughters are at the beach this week. Casey is at Myrtle Beach with friends and Nikki is in Daytona with friends. Hope they are having a good time. Only way I know this is because I keep up with them on facebook. Facebook is really a wonderful networking site I think. You just have to know what you are doing and where you are posting things and also be aware that "public posts" on FB can bring unpleasant results at times. This I have experienced, however it is not stopping me from using the network. I have found so many old friends this way and hope I continue to. People you KNEW were your "friends" way back still are and some aren't. And then there are those who you didn't really "travel in the same circle with", but you find now that you have much in common as the years have passed. Isn't technology exciting!

Don has been busy helping his Mother (89) today. Yesterday we had a great day at home...just the two of us...no computers...no people...just us and doing things mostly inside the house since it was so HOT outside.

Tomorrow is Saturday already....and then Church on Sunday. We love our little Baptist Church in Buffalo and are quite excited that we are getting a new Pastor and his Family in August sometime. Pastor Gideon Long has been filling in for a year and a half or so and doing a great job...but he is retired from the ministry and needs his time off now! Our pulpit committee searched diligently for the Pastor that God would have at this time and very hour and since meeting them I am so sure that Our God knows just exactly what he is doing in bringing this couple and their children here to Union County, SC. I already feel a "kindred" spirit with them. Look for great things to happen at Buffalo and also all over Union County in the days, weeks, months, years to come. There are a lot of PRAYING PEOPLE here and have been for a lot of years....praying in Unity for the City and County! I am glad God has allowed us to be a part of what HE is doing in Union at this time. UNITY - THAT IS WHY WE ARE CALLED UNION!
