Botany Bay, a wildlife preserve located a short distance from Charleston, SC – however short the drive (roughly 40 minutes) it feels like you have stepped back in time – and I mean that in the best way possible. Your head is filled with beauty and it fills your heart as well…

I love this photo – this was taken a few weeks ago on a quick trip to Botany Bay. Enjoying the beauty and the peace and quiet! The scenery, wow!

Ahhh, a good book, is there anything like it? Especially during trying times like we’ve seen in 2020. Reading is the great escape, you can travel to faraway lands from the comfort of your chair with an iced tea in your hand. #winwin

I would love to be sitting in one of these chairs beside my Dad this year to wish him a Happy Father’s Day in person. Travel isn’t likely until this coronavirus at least slows down. Our numbers are rising in SC. #pleasewearyourmask #iwanttoseemyfamily

Our house was very classic in design. Some antiques, some new pieces, but something was lacking. We have since fallen in love with the Mid-Century Modern furniture. The classic pieces are so amazing! There is a reason you see them in museums! Those pieces are EXACTLY what our rooms needed!

Well, it’s heron time in Charleston, SC – actually it has been for a few months. Many of the young herons are out of the nest and learning to fly. The adult herons take off so strongly. Perched on a limb they thrust themselves forward and into a strong flight pattern…

Is there anything better than a meal that is quick to pull together, has a variety of veggies, good fiber, and so much tastiness that you cannot wait to eat it? This is a meal that you probably have ingredients on hand for and that you can alter to fit what you love.
