Seabrook and Kiawah, SC

Kiawah, SC

Islands. We love them. We have so many in close proximity. Some feel more “islandy” than others. A friend offered for us to visit her place on Seabrook Island (SC) – we took a quick day trip and were astounded at the beauty. How could something so beautiful be so close? Unless you live or are staying on the island it’s gated. So that’s probably why we’ve never had the opportunity prior to this.

View from a morning walk…

View from a morning walk… Charleston, SC

The other morning my husband and I went for a walk – it was such a nice day. We are so fortunate to be so close to the most beautiful scenery ever! The ever changing vista (colors of the marsh grass, level of water that changes due to the tides, the birds, etc). Absolutely spectacular! This was one of our views…

It’s been a good year…

It’s been a good year for the dogs who are not home alone!

It HAS been a good year. Despite all that has gone on in this world, most importantly COVID19 – it’s been a good year, especially for the dogs who have not been home alone! Right? Trying to find the positive spin… Can you believe that we are nearing the end of 2020?

Time to move!

Charleston, SC

Can you believe Christmas is over? Where does the time go? It seems like it was just summer and now it’s after Christmas! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday, a very Merry Christmas, a Happy Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, etc. Most of these holidays center around food of some sort. So it’ll probably feel good to get out today and walk, run, or bike. I enjoy walking downtown taking photos!

The River Tree | Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve!

Christmas Eve is a magical time. The memories from when I was a kid linger. I’m thankful and blessed to have such epic memories. One year we saw Santa’s footprints and reindeer footprints in the snow on a neighbor’s roof. Another year we saw Santa’s footprints in our living room! We couldn’t believe it!

Tis the Season…

Tis the Season…

Tis the season for oh so much. What are some of your traditions? I have noticed an uptick in real Christmas tree purchases. Not only Christmas trees, but holiday decorations of all types and all types of celebrations are shown throughout the neighborhoods. I love the diversity, the culture, our differences as well as our similarities. May 2021 be our best year yet!

Blessing Box! Help if you can…

Blessing Box in Charleston, SC

We were downtown a few weeks ago, heading back to our car we passed this Blessing Box. What is a Blessing Box? It’s a place for you to take what you need and to give what you can. Brilliant idea. I had to snap a photo so I could check it out and see what I could do to help. What a brilliant idea. Food, bags to carry the goods home, books, as well as personal things that people need to get through a day when times are tough.

Charlie beside the fire with Fred ❤️

The other night we had a fire outside. It was a beautiful evening, the moon was full and the fire was so nice. Toasty and comfortable. It wasn’t particularly cold that night, more cool than anything. It was perfect. And then…
