It is Friday of Labor Day weekend which to me officially is the end of summer. One last weekend at the beach before we hope the weather turns a bit cooler. However, as sad as I am about summer being over, it also means that college football has started again. South Carolina kicked off the […]

This past weekend we spent Friday night out at the Sanctuary at Kiawah Island- a “staycation” if you will. It was absolutely wonderful. I felt like I had been on vacation for a week and we weren’t even there 24 hours. We arrived on Friday afternoon. It had been raining the whole day in Charleston, […]

We are finally home in Charleston, and while we had a great time, it is so good to be back. The last week we spent up in Linville, NC getting ready for Fancy Dress Ball. This year instead of family with us, we had some of our closest friends up to participate in the fun. […]
We sadly left Twilight this past Sunday, but we drove to Linville and are thrilled to be here. This view is worth any amount of driving! As I have said before, Linville in the summer always makes me think of blueberries because we used to have blueberry bushes on the hill behind the house. There […]
I do love a good biscuit- piping hot and steamy. It can be the perfect breakfast- you really don’t need much else. Fortunately, my wonderful husband makes amazing biscuits- not nearly as often as I would like, but when he decides to make biscuits, they are a work of art. We are heading up to […]
Walker and I have a morning routine that really never varies during the school week- I guess that is why they call it a routine. I wake Walker up at 7- we get dressed, and he goes downstairs to fix breakfast while I make the beds. Corby on the other hand, usually gets up around […]
Now that it is finally getting warm out and hopefully staying that way, there is nothing more refreshing on a hot day than the taste of lemon. For some reason to me, the taste of lemon always seems cool. This is a great recipe for a glazed lemon bread which is really a dessert, but […]
Growing up the words grits and hominy were interchangeable. There was no difference between the two, and it has only been recently that I found out there actually was a difference. It was actually brought up last night as a topic of conversation preceding dinner. What is the difference between grits and hominy. The answer […]
We spent this past weekend in Savannah, GA. Having never been there, I really didn’t know what to expect, and I was wonderfully surprised. Of course I had heard Savannah was beautiful, but being from Charleston I am of course biased. It really is a beautiful city. We had perfect weather for walking around, and […]
