No place like home

You know how much I love Charleston, right?  Refer here if you ever had any doubt! 

I got the chance to spend the day exploring my favorite cobblestone streets when my sister and two nephews came down for the weekend.  Considering they came to visit in May, i'm a little late on posting but who's counting?!  While the Dads played golf out on Kiawah Island (SO boring) I could think of no better place to take the boys than Waterfront Park.  A true Charleston gem - waterfront swings dangling from wooden arbors, cruise ships, sailboats, tool-arounds and the like all whizzing by, play-friendly water fountains and also the kinds that we just admire, grassy fields, pebble walkways draped with old oak trees, and the glistening Charleston Harbor.  Perfection! 

Man, I love this place!

Herb's the word

It was absolutely perfect weather here yesterday so I decided to take Sully and explore the new spring flower displays at Lowe's and Home Depot. As we strolled through the brightly colored, sweet-scented isles, it didn't take me long to find my love... BASIL.

Truly, there is nothing better than the scent of fresh, home-grown basil. I love to smell it, I love to look at it's bright green color, I love to cook with it, and I love to plant it in a pot and place on my kitchen counter. I looooove the stuff. I let Sully take a good long whiff of mommy's fave. Okay, so maybe he was snoozing but i'm sure that somewhere in that little mind of his, the introduction left an impression.


aaahhhhhhh!
