The sign pictured here was not present at today’s events. If it had been, today’s events would not have occurred. Just saying.
It began so well. I drove to Greenville to have lunch with friends. For 3.5 hrs, we were that table — you know, the one with shrieking bursts of unruly laughter, with lots of [...]

Dear God, please give me a beach house. Just a little one.

Am sitting in the loveliest rocking chair on our condo balcony, listening to the ocean. It’s fabulous.
We love this little place – it was an internet booking, sort of a shot in the dark, but it’s been perfect for the two of us. Almost like a second honeymoon of sorts, except we’re older, we weigh [...]
catching up

For the past few weeks, I’ve been on autopilot… just been doing without thinking. It’s been kinda nice, actually — random thoughts go skittering across like bugs, and I just let the suckers go without trying to catch them and figure them out. Liberating.
How was my Christmas? Fine. How was my birthday? Fine. How was [...]
To Charleston and Back

It’s been five days since my last post… that’s the longest gap I’ve had in a while, I think. Sue and I have been all over SC and back since last Thursday… well, let me just start at the beginning.
Thursday morning, Sue & I were up, packing & moving toward the door when I got [...]

I’m back. Thanks for all the comments about the Beaufort pics… wish I were still there. Sigh. And thanks for sharing your Myers-Briggs types – reading about your personality quirks has been great fun! So does anybody else think it’s probably not a coincidence that almost every person who shared was an “I” (introverted) rather [...]
Day in Beaufort

Night 1 at the Motel Sketch, complete. Bobby and I headed into downtown Beaufort this morning for coffee, then I dropped him off at his 8-hr business meeting and amused myself all day. I embarrassed my cutie husband by taking a picture of him on his way into the meeting… he swatted the camera and [...]

I’ve just thrown the whole “my dad’s talking about getting remarried” thing out there very casually… so now I shall elaborate. This is a very, VEEEEEERRRRY lengthy post. Be warned.
My dad. Um, yeah, that’s a very complicated subject. He’s South Carolina-born and bred, with all the baggage that goes along with that. But he also [...]
History being made

What a lovely new First Family.
As someone who almost always finds herself mired in cynicism, I wept a little tonight during Obama’s first speech as President-Elect.
Call it rhetoric – after all, that’s what it is – but I feel a little less cynical and a little more hopeful this evening.
I feel awed by the impact, [...]
Happy Election Day, everybody!

Bobby & I got up this morning to head to the polls, and our tree’s leaves had turned overnight. Perhaps a sign of CHANGE?!? :)
I hope everyone gets out and votes today. And please, PLEASE, before you do, please read the issues for yourself. Please don’t buy into the rhetoric without doing your own [...]
