Colbert Ghost SignI've always found Ghost Signs fascinating. This storefront in Colbert, GA has a great old Coca-Cola painted sign which remains even though the building was long ago converted to a residence.

It's hard for me to believe that it is already February 2025.

January flew by and here in the Upstate of South Carolina, it brought us our first measurable snow in the three years since we moved up here from Georgia.  It wasn't much but it was cold enough to last a few days at least.  We also had some very cold weather (for us at least) and another storm which missed us but dumped snow closer to the coast.

At FlexQube, it was a month of trying to catch up with a full production calendar and some continuing challenges.  We're expanding our production again, so I've been welcoming new members to the team and getting us ready for what should be a much stronger year.  

The cold weather and workload meant that I didn't get out to get new photos like I'd hoped but as the weather starts to improve I'm already planning to revisit some favorite locations this year and also hopefully explore some new places around the Southeast.

My biggest challenge personally for 2025 is working on my work/life balance and getting to the point where I'm able to take more PTO to recharge.  2024 was a year of constant change and 2025 will be a year of growth both personally and in my career.

I'm going to focus on making more time to write my thoughts here and share the adventures and challenges with you.
