I was down in North Carolina about 5 years to visit a friend of mine. she lived in Statesville. Her husband has pass away since I was down there. She has now moved to Michigan living near a daughter. We were down in NC in Oct. when it wasn't so hot. I liked it down there at that time of the year. My daughter lived next door to you in SC for about a year. She has since moved up here (back home) she was lucky enough to get a job at the VA hospital.
