A Very Good Day In Charleston


 










It's always a good day downtown.  Coffee in hand - a beautiful blue sky - "tea cup" alligators and back home those odd shore birds who enjoy blocking the entrance to my driveway.
A walk downtown Charleston is an experience you'll never forget. Historical buildings and homes. Rainbow Row is my favorite. Subtropical landscaping through the city is beautifully perfect. 
Sit by the harbor and you are sure to spot dolphins leaping from the river. I swear I see them smiling!

Living in the low country gives us opportunities to go to any of the local beaches within a 30 minute drive. Local sea food restaurants serving up the fresh catch of the day. Though I'm a veggie-tarian, my husband appreciates a good sea food meal.  One thing we both agree on ...... the coffee!  
Big Kick Coffee is our favorite go-to coffee roaster on a Saturday morning. 

Our favorite beach - Folly Beach.  

Stay tuned for more......... 
Enjoy a cup of coffee and take an adventure!

Teachers are anxiously waiting for the holiday break to arrive. Hang in there I say......only one more week.        I can [honestly] say I miss those days as a mom of three.  The Friday after Thanksgiving was huge.  And not for hitting the outlets. No, it was for bundling up and heading to the Christmas tree farm.  The smiles on their faces. The traditi...

I Know Him!

  Santa! I know him! I love Santa. But I haven’t [always] loved him. You won’t find any pictures of me with Santa as a child. As my mother would tell me I would close my eyes and walk towards the department store Santa throne with my eyes closed - only to be guided by my mother or one of my older siblings. Bears Department Store was a Christmas Palace. Beautiful bright twinkling white lights. Glittery stars danced in the department store window displays. And then there were Santa’s helpers - the sweet faced [adult] elves. I never questioned why they were tall. Or how one may have - or may not have been - one of my first grade teachers making extra holiday cash. It didn’t matter to me who or how these elves made their debut - I was there to [see] the one and only - Santa! So when I say I love Santa…..I think deep down inside of my young soul I did. I just couldn’t find the courage to walk up to Kris Kringle…..the Jolly O’l Man……Babbo Natale and hand deliver my Christmas list. So in ...
