It's "Flag Day" across America....hope you' flew Old Glory today and every day!!!
Flying the stars and stripes on back of Catrina
We are back on Catrina and been busy little beavers this afternoon sorting thru our stuff, putting things away, taking stuff to the truck we don't need, etc., etc. As hot as yesterday was, today was much better....at least not so sweltering and a nice breeze.
Really enjoyed our stay in Charleston - lovely room at Charleston Place, fabulous dinner last night and meant to mention (just to get yours and my mouth watering) what we had for dessert to top off that grand meal..............Pecan pie with caramel/bacon sauce and Lemoncello cake with blueberry compote - my oh my.....both were so incredibly gooey and good. About the bacon....we've noticed that some desserts on the menu down south include bacon in the mix....our waiter told us last night that's a "southern thing"! Whatever...sure adds some good old-fashioned flavor! And then there was the bacon/cheddar/garlic warm biscuits which were so mouth watering! Check out 82 Queen if/when you re ever in Charleston, but then it seems all the restaurants there are winners!!! We've had terrific meals there each time we've visited! LOVE this city!
We left Charleston around 9, stopped in Georgetown and walked around their charming downtown - had really enjoyed our stay here in May. Then we were off to Osprey Marina and Catrina.. Dropped off some bags, turned on the air, and went out for quick lunch and then grocery run. And now that our stuff is organized, we are just hangin' out with computers and books. .
Mark and I laughed about on previous visits to Philip and Annette, we enjoyed the pool, hot tub, bean bag toss, lots of dominoes, etc., etc. ......now, it's all about Luke and his schedule!!!! Don't want to jinx this, but last night our little guy slept from 8:30-5 and then back to sleep from 5:30-8:30! What a good boy! It's time he slept thru the night and hoping this is the big turn around?
So we're out of Low Country and moving on north. Fondest memories of this area would be the friendly people AND the awesome food....fried green tomatoes shrimp 'n grits, corn bread, crab and much more! Tomorrow, a short run to Barefoot Landing (20 miles) and check out that area.
Went for a walk this evening - Osprey Marina is really tucked away from it all down a winding tree-lined road.....these goats were in their pasture and came running toward us as we walked by.
Friendly herd of goats
Made a correction in Wednesday's blog....that was GRANDPA feeding Luke....not Grandma!!!!
But I'm sure you figured that out! Ha....

Evening Pat: Hope you enjoy Barefoot. Off to lake tomorrow to enjoy. Bob plans to take boys fishing one at a time this weekend. Much too hard to take both at the same time. Tried this last week and he spent all his time getting line untangled for one or the other. Supposed to be sunny and cooler tomorrow. Today Brooke said it was very breezy. It was windy here at home and lovely. JudyB
