South Carolina

Will this journey never end?  I was up at 0640 this morning and Jim was up before 0800.  I think we're anxious to get this I-95 trek over and done with!  We don't like traveling on the interstates and only do so when necessary.

We were packed up and on the road by 0940.

Not much in the way of Autumn color this last day of October but I did take these two pictures of the trees at Lazy Acres before we left.  The sky was a beautiful blue

Our trip to Camp Lake Jasper was almost 240 miles.  Probably a wee bit longer because we stopped several times to have lunch and stretch our legs.  We'll stay two nights and on Sunday we'll be on the last leg of this trip and arrive in Lake City Florida

Pine cones in the south are big!  Three or four of these bad boys makes for a quick, aromatic fire

Lavender Fabric Softener Spray

Heading to South Carolina today.  Lake Jasper for two nights.  On Sunday we'll be in Lake City, Florida and we can sit still for awhile.  This constant traveling reminds me of when we first started full timing.  It wears a body  out!

Do you  use liquid fabric softeners?  Dryer sheets?  Have to admit I use dryer sheets but unscented ones.  I came across this DIY recipe and when my dryer sheets run out I think I'll give it a try.

This is so simple!  You'll never have to buy another bottle of liquid softener again

Lavender Fabric Spray

3 tsp Lavender essential oil
2 cups white vinegar

Combine oil and vinegar in a spray bottle and shake well.

To use, spray 5-10 times on wet clothes before drying

And no, your clothes won't smell like vinegar!

If you try this let me know what you think of it.  Of course you could use another essential oil for fragrance if you think Lavender is to feminine.
