The last Sunday of February

Poppy hosted the Sunday gathering while Mimi drove up the coast.

Moe's was a good choice for this group with Mimi out of town as it is never even a potential choice when Mimi is along. 

A Drive Up The Coast.

A meandering drive from Charleston to North Myrtle Beach with stops in Georgetown, the Hammock Shop @ Pawley's Island, and a drive along Ocean Blvd.

Charlotte working!

Charlotte touched up the hallway paint this morning, a task she was assigned the week after Christmas!

Thursday in Beaufort

A work day, but sunny, windy, and 80 degrees - I can feel spring.

President's Day

Jack visited his mom's old cat, Alley, this morning. Maddie, still here, went to work with me this afternoon on James Island.

Scenes from a Sunday

Saturday @ SEWE

A good day @ South Eastern Wildlife Exposition.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Ice (and the Ravenel is closed) again

The truck took the brunt of ice laden branches falling from a neighbor's tree.

Snuggle buddies

These cats decided to nap with me today as I slept away the worst of this crud.

Sunday at Cypress Gardens

Poppy and Maddie enjoyed this adventure as Mimi had a sick day.

Saturday in Beaufort

Rain before training, but a beautiful late afternoon.

Beaufort on a Friday

Afternoon at the office and evening reception in Port Royal.

Afterschool playtime

Maddie's wish to leave the afterschool program before six came true on Wednesday.

Recent favorite movies

We saw August, Osage County this past Friday. This was a well acted movie, but the movie was quite brutal and there seemed to be no resolution at the end of two hours.

The girls at work and I saw Gimme Shelter this past Monday evening. We were the only other people in the theatre so decided it was ok to be vocal during the movie. This was a decent movie based on the real life work of Kathy Fiore, the developer of a faith based shelter system for teen moms. Seven social workers in a row certainly burned off a lot of work related frustration by booing and hissing at each appearance of the antagonist (bio mom of the teen mom). Vanessa Hudgins has certainly grown up and become a very compelling actress since her High School Musical days.

My favorite movie of the new year thus far has been American Hustle. A double thumbs up to the acting, sets, and music of 1978.

Groundhog Day and the Super Bowl.

A beautiful day near 70 degrees.
