How to Sharpen Your Edge with SEO or What does SEO have to do with retirement and second homes in McCormick County, SC? First - the background: Bruce and I are not products of the technology age.

I am a newbie, having been an educator for 31 … (10 comments)

Are You a Golfer? What's Augusta National Like? Part 2 Drive into the public parking areas of Augusta National and it's hard not to be aware of ‘green.' Everything you see is lush and green and manicured. (Most home owners would be happy with grass as beautiful as in the parking lots at Augusta National.) Most fans arrive early to walk the course and see the golfers - several times! Many of the ‘big names' make early tee times for practice rounds so when the gates to the course open at 8:00 AM, the long lines have already formed. Who would want … (6 comments)

About the river: Stevens Creek, a tributary of the Savannah River, winds its way slowly through the counties of Edgefield and McCormick, SC. The landscape of the river changes vastly over its length from deep gorge like settings to rocky shoals and even lined by cypress trees in some areas. The floatable sections of the creek really begin below the confluence of Steven's and Turkey Creek, and end in a vast stump field as the waters combine with the Savannah River as it continues its course into North Augusta. One of the rarest things about floating … (1 comments)

Twelve years is old for a lab - I know that. Emmy is twelve. Labs get all kinds of health problems after 10 or so years. But we weren't prepared for the medical problems that have … (5 comments)
