On one of our venture’s downtown walking I happened upon this quote. This bench is at Colonial Lake in Charleston, SC – which underwent quite the facelift!
This quote is so true – the one’s you love are a gift far greater than anything money could possibly buy – cherish them!
This is the Holiday House plan (C0412) by Allison Ramsey Architect! This plan is a beauty! I have to say I love the “L” shape of the home, incorporating the terrace, pool, fire pit and outdoor kitchen, all of which just extend gracious living right outside your door! The exterior of this home is gorgeous – so much curb appeal!
Be sure to check out images of a real life home built (Houzz)… WOW! It helps to see the real thing, doesn’t it? For each of the images you will see questions that people have asked. There is a lot of great information!
This plan offers a nice, open, living/dining/kitchen area. Can you imagine working at this kitchen island with views of your beautiful terrace and pool? There is a wonderful downstairs master suite, with windows looking onto the pool area. There is also a library and reading room. Oh! Love it!
The upstairs is just perfect with two bedrooms, a bathroom and a sitting room.

Don’t you love those regal looking palms? They command attention, especially on a breezy day – I love the sound they make.

This Spring Normandy Farms Bakery begins a new venture – This wonderful old building (a bank for the past 150 years) is taking on new life. The first floor will be a casual restaurant called THE ROOM. Mike Ray (owner of Normandy Farms Bakery) and Ben Johnson will take over the space and make it all their own.
We are so fortunate to live in Charleston, SC. The food scene is over the top amazing. This will be a great addition! More info from CharlestonEater.com!

Pretty as a picture. Love this lavender on a home downtown (Rainbow Row). One thing you will see in Charleston, SC are colorful homes. Not all of them, but they do fit rather nicely in the tropical climate. The shadows on this home are stunning!

Morning Walk – I think these look so Easterly! So I thought I would fit them into this week of photos.
Hope you’ve all had a nice Easter weekend/Spring Break/Time Off/Time Working…
Happy Monday!

I took this photo years ago – Fresh flowers hanging on the gate at a church downtown really shows you how special this day is! Easter!
If you happen to be in Charleston, SC on Easter and the weather is nice, get out and take some photos, there is magic here in Charleston!
A nice shot for Easter weekend. This is St. Michael’s Church in Charleston, SC.
Charleston has many beautiful, historic churches and St. Michael’s is one of them!
Enjoy your Saturday, happy Easter Eve! Tomorrow is a big day! ✝️

Another Charleston, SC photo with the vantage point from the street looking up at some rather impressive, old, historic homes. Oh, the stories they could tell – wouldn’t that be something?
Happy Sunday!

Window boxes in Charleston, SC are stunning right now. Each is so different, with a wide array of plants and flowers being used. It takes great imagination to come up with some of these designs!
Just beautiful! Happy Saturday!

This is the Sand Mountain House (977) by John Tee! This plan is 2,814 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms (not including the optional upstairs bedroom/bathroom).
This home has wonderful covered porches both front and back, as well as off the office and laundry area in the front. Nice air flow! I love the wings that jut out on each side of the main portion of the house. This home would fit well in an established neighborhood. It doesn’t look cookie cutter, it’s got wide appeal!
There is a nice master suite and two more bedrooms with a shared bathroom. One of those rooms would be nice as a study. A quiet getaway! This home offers a nice foyer, which would be really nice! A large family room, breakfast area, kitchen and dining room give way to a laundry area and office. A beautiful plan with a lot of living space!
Be sure to check out the real images of both interior and exterior… they are stunning. Click HERE !

The reason I’ve been posting photos is because I’ve been under the weather. 😷🤒Nothing drastic, just a horrible cold. This week I am feeling better, but playing catch up – so I will be back to normal posting next week! But… stay tuned, I have some great photos this week!
What do you tend to eat when you have a cold? I didn’t feel energetic enough to whip up a pot of homemade chicken noodle soup, so Fred stopped on his way home from work and picked up some Egg Drop Soup from Red Orchids Bistro (in Charleston, SC). It was delicious. It lasted two days. It was perfect!
What else have I been eating? At first not much, too much time sneezing and coughing, but I did eat an orange each day which was delicious! Toast… scrambled egg, a lot of green tea, regular tea and fruit popsicles.
Wondering what YOU eat? Do you make something or order out? The ingredients in canned chicken noodle soup gives me the willies, yet it tastes the best, sadly. Unless you’re going to make your own of course!
