I was looking through my photos on Flickr trying to find one to crop for a submission to the 2008 Blogger Boobie-Thon (I decided to go with this one) and I came across my photoset from our December 2007 trip to Columbia, SC and remembered how happy I was then.*
I was talking to someone recently (can’t remember who) and telling them how happy and at-home I felt in Columbia - but that realistically I probably wouldn’t want to live there. But I just feel a deep connection with the place - probably because of all the family history there.
Btw, my grandmother found an old photo of the family home at 1429 Laurel St., hiding in a random dresser drawer! There’s no date on it and it’s damaged in two corners; I’m going to take it to Myott Studio next week to be framed in archival glass so it can be well-preserved and put on display, not hidden away in a drawer.
Now, back to trying to write a post about all this business; I’ve been having such trouble finding the right words.
* Not to imply that I’m unhappy now! Just that I have really good memories of that trip, it was a really great time, and something about it felt very special.

You made Columbia look really beautiful here, wow.
Heh, you say that as if it was quite a feat. ;)
