Our son lives outside of Greenville in the little town of Easley. He lives in a nice house situated on several acres. He loves his job and the people he works for. I told him that is the most important thing about work is enjoying what you do. Rarely, at least from my experience, do people work at jobs they like. I am including myself in this observation. Usually you work for financial security and liking the job rarely enters into peoples decision of taking or staying in a job.
We are staying at an rv park that is in a little town called Piedmont, SC. It is called Ivy Acres RV Resort and is owned by a very interesting man called Chuck Hill. The RV park office is in the foyer of Chuck's very nice and interesting house that he built himself a few years ago. He was and is still a professional builder. On the wall you see pictures of a man that looks like Chuck but one that is many pounds heavier. He has lost 60 pounds over two years and rarely have I talked to a person who is more in touch with his body and his daily food requirements. He was diagnosed with diabetes a couple of years ago and that kind of got his attention that he needed to do something differently. He watches everything he eats but eats well. He eats four times per day and has several recipes he makes of healthy tasty foods that he has on hand continuously. His diet is kind of a mix of a low carb low calorie diet. He only eats three fruits including blueberries, strawberries and I forgot the last one. He says the others have too much sugar. His blood sugar levels run around 100-110 but on a very bad day will go up to 140. He is off all of the medication he used to take. His last meal is at 6:00 pm and he mainly eats protein at that meal with very few carbs. We are so glad we like this place since it's just down the road from where Gabe lives. We will probably be stopping here twice per year. Once in the spring on our way home and once late in the year when headed to Florida. We already have our motorhome service appointment at Freightliner in Gaffney, SC for next November 17th which is less than an hour away.
