Walker and his two friends have spent a lot of time this past spring working on a pushable lemonade cart so they can better sell lemonade to the masses in Charleston. Since they have all been gone all summer, yesterday was the first day they were able to try it out. They went down to […]
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 had a great weekend celebrating a friend’s 40th birthday, for which I made the cake (of course, in the shape of a 40- it was pretty awesome), and we had a super fun Sunday beach day yesterday. However, despite all of the fun in the sun, it is really hot. I know it is […]
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 the Fancy Dress Ball. This year, instead of family with us, we had some of our closest friends up to participate in the […]
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 […]
The temperature has dropped to a very lovely 68 degrees, and I went for a great ten-mile hike this morning. Well, it was only supposed to be about 6 miles, but I got lost, and I saw a bear, so it ended up being about 10 miles. The bear didn’t have anything to do with […]
The entire East Coast seems to be in a massive heat wave, and Twilight is no exception. Clearly, it is not as bad up here as it is in New York City, where the temperature is currently 99 degrees with a “real feel” of 107. That is not a lot of fun. So, we have […]
Does anything say summer more than sweet corn? And a fresh corn salad is about the best thing in the world. It is a touch warm up in Twilight this week, but that means it has gotten above 80, so really it is not warm at all, it is perfect. We have done some amazing […]
We have been up in Twilight for just over a week now, and I could not be more relaxed. It is heaven up here except I don’t think my waistline would be expanding this much in heaven, but other than that, it is pretty perfect. We have had a great time hiking and swimming, and […]
We arrived in the Catskills on Friday night after a very long 14-hour drive. My wonderful husband drove the whole way. We got up to Twilight just in time for the Friday night drop-in dinner at the clubhouse, which was a welcome treat. After a quick bite and hello to old friends that we hadn’t […]
