Mid-November, the normal High is 66-68°F. On November 13 — a week before — it was 79°F where we were planning to go. When we arrived, the High was the normal Low, 45°F; the Low a record, 28°F. We experienced another day that warmed up to 45°F, and the temperature fluctuated with highs within the forty’s and fifty’s the rest of our time, nights dropping into the twenty's and thirty's. November 22 I went outside and felt the 24.8°F, nineteen degrees below normal. On November 24 Daddy was fishing layered in a goose down vest and wool hat; Mother went swimming in the ocean with water temperature the same as air temperature, in the 50º’s F.

  

We especially loved visiting George, Diane, & Alana at their home in Conway for a Thanksgiving celebration with Diane’s parents. Another highlight of our visit was meeting Trina’s next-door neighbors Dick & Nita of Connestee Falls (near my parents in Brevard), and seeing Trina's neighbors we have come to love. We wished to have seen her neighbors we know, Ken & Sue, missionaries to China, who were "out West" during our stay. As always, we enjoyed worshipping at Shepherd of the Sea Lutheran Church.

 

Quote from Daddy on fishing: "If the fish aren't biting, they soon will be, and if they are, who in the world would want to quit?"
