Day 14 - Edisto Island, SC


Day 14, April 1, Edisto Island
We are staying at the McPherson Work Release Program Center. Cap’t Sandy and Deputy Jane say that we get released when the work is done. Actually we agreed to help Jane clean out the big house that Sandy’s mother owns because it will be rented shortly. I don’t think we fully understood the scope of this undertaking. After seeing the house and it’s contents Betsy and I considered waiting until Jane was asleep and then quietly hooking up the trailer and heading off into the night. We worked most of the day today and got the kitchen done. Tomorrow Betsy and Jane will have a go at the closets.
The problem is that they have to try on every doggone item.
It’s hard to believe but we’ve been on the road for two weeks. I told Betsy the other day that it feels like we’ve been gone a very long time, but the individual days just fly by. She feels that everything has gone very fast. jamie
This beach town is wonderful and reminds me of my earlier teen years spent on the Jersey shore in the summer. Walks on the beach, cooking fresh seafood for dinner and getting sand between my toes. What a wonderful life. Betsy
p.s. Tomorrow I hear we only have to work half a day and then we get to go sightseeing once again, yippee!!!

Hopefully you can complete your duties and get some site seeing in before you depart Edisto. Are you expected to work more if you are volunteers than if you were paid? Guess you'll have to ask Jane that questions. Can't wait to hear what you discover in your site seeing.
