MOM’S PERSPECTIVE This never happened in Florida by Cheryl Pangborn vs In the esteemed words of Barry Manilow, “Looks Like We Made It” an entire year in the Low Country, what I’d like to call our Georgiaversary. During these past 12 months we’ve learned a whole new way of life, which seems somewhat silly because we’re only six hours outside of South Florida, but nonetheless things are definitely different here. Steve and I started playing a little game about Florida/Georgia comparisons. Mostly because I was always poking fun at Steve for behaving as if what we were experiencing in Georgia was like something from an alien planet. The game is called That Never Happened in Florida – it goes like this: “It’s really hot out today.” That NEVER happened in Florida “The traffic was awful this morning.” That NEVER happened in Florida “It rained really hard this afternoon.” That NEVER happened in Florida “The gnats are driving me crazy!” That NEVER happened in Florida Actually, all of that happened in Florida. Yet, there are things that are different, things we had to get used to. 24 One of the things Steve loves about our new house is that it has natural gas. We had all electric appliances and utilities in Florida, so I knew nothing about this. Steve was determined that anything that could be hooked up to the gas line should be hooked up. We got our fireplace working with the gas line, no problem. On to the barbeque, which was a different matter altogether. Personally, I didn’t see what the big deal was about a natural gas barbeque. My logic was a propane refill is less than $20, a natural gas barbeque is more pricey. We hired a gas plumber (who knew that was a thing), and naturally, made numerous trips to the hardware store asking crazy natural gas questions. We bought hoses and brought hoses back. We bought a barbeque, we brought it back. Meanwhile my next door neighbor is flipping burgers, enjoying steaks courtesy of their perfectly fine, inexpensive propane grill. We eventually got the natural gas grill hooked up. I estimate that even after 20 years of not having to refill a propane tank, we will still be in the hole as far as the initial cost. Speaking of neighbors, I wound up with a fabulous BFN (Best Friend Neighbor) who made the perfect Ethel to my Lucy. My neighbor Lily has become my partner in crime. In a year’s time we’ve had our OCTOBER 2016 share of wacky adventures, plus she helps me daily with tips on “everything you need to know about living in Georgia.” Recently, she took some things to the dump and locked herself out of the truck with her phone locked inside her truck. After managing to waylay a fellow dumper, she called me. Me, who knows nothing about the whereabouts of South Georgia dumps. Luckily, with a little intervention from our husbands, I located the right dump and all was well. Crazy day, but also memory made. In any case the verdict is this: I love living here in the Low Country. A year ago, we were terrified and couldn’t imagine feeling settled and acclimated. Now, I see my family is adapting well. Sure, sometimes we still feel like the alien visitors from the hot, sweaty Sunshine State but, thankfully, things are starting to feel familiar and normal and Georgia is definitely on my mind. P
