A year later – settled into our new life

Back to the stix and brix!

You never know who you’ll meet at the Laundromat! – Powdersville, SC
A few days before my departure to the Philippines, I had to do several loads of laundry which had been piling up for a while. Since Ivy Acres RV Park does not have laundry facilities, we ran over to nearby Powdersville, SC to do it. While I was folding, an elderly man who was waiting…
