My son in law, Mac (Howard), my daughter, Sara, their children, Mary Catherine and Jackson are moving so they will be only two hours from me. Mac is in the coast guard as a recruiter, he just got his orders for a year from June, for Columbia, South Carolina (the middle of the state).

Sara has not lived close to me since 1989. The children were born in Wisconsin, then he was promoted and they have been living outside of DC. This photo is two years old, it was their Christmas photo, they took it, too.
I am so excited, I can't think of anything else.

This is a grouping I made of Sara from photos a friend sent me

And this is Sara last fall. She was born in 1967, my third child. A wonderful little girl. She is a wonderful woman. Very busy raising her children.

Bill took this photo at Thanksgiving time. A birthday party for her husband. It was at her brother's house in Charlotte, but she arranged it all in a Jimmy Buffett theme. This is her husband, Howard, trying to kiss her (they had been eating wings). Just kidding around.

A long story made short, she is the reason I live in Charleston. It was just the two of us from 1984 to 1989 when she moved up to Charlotte. She did her last high school years here, and then stayed on awhile.

ginger, who loves Sara very much. They chose Columbia, So Carolina over Orlando, closer to his family. I just did not hope.

Oh Ginger, that is such good news! You must be besides yourself! Sara is very photogenic too! And of course the grandkids! In all, a very good looking family. You'll have so many models to choose from now!
