our weekly in review:

Celebrating 16 years of Marriage:


My parents took the girls for the day, and J and I set out on my absolute favorite adventure....our beloved boat, Little Sea Hunt!  But first, we headed out to Stacks for brunch, so he could have a seafood omelet.  It was nice...a breakfast date with my hubby...I can't remember the last time we did that.  It was definitely BC!  From there we headed to the boat landing preparing to take the boat over to Daufuski Island where we were going to rent a golf cart and spend the day...only we made a slight detour to a different boat landing in Old Town Bluffton...you know, because J wanted to see a seafood recipe book down there (notice a seafood theme so far....the poor guy must be feeling some deprivation being a prisoner to a vegetarian wife and all;)  Anyway, as I mentioned we took a slight detour down the May River to go see his book.  Yes, we easily could have driven or ridden our bikes there, but isn't this fun? And interesting to note, when you arrive via boat, instead of land transportation, you see things from a whole new perspective.  We spent several hours talking to local shop owners, walking around and seeing the sights, some of which have been there since before the Civil War!  And with J's nudge and encouragement, some of my Dragonfly Inspirations Creations may be in a couple of those shops in the very near future!!!!  SO excited!  J and I sat on a patio for awhile and just hung out, and then we headed back to the boat.  We were kind of procrastinating a tad, as the weather was iffy....but as it turns out, the storms stayed west of us..like they missed us by a mile or two, literally.  And trust me when I say you do NOT want to be out on these open waterways during the storms...even if we don't (or rarely) take the boat right on the ocean, we are pretty much almost on the ocean, and it's all connected....been there, done that! Anyway, when we returned to boat, we were slightly hungry, so we sat on the boat for a snack...and then a police officer came down, and we actually just wound up chatting with each other for probably a good hour and a half to two hours!  At that point, we had to leave or we were going to lose daylight and be unable to go out for our anniversary dinner via boat....but we found a restaurant and dock on the way, and stopped at Buffalo's on the very beautiful Palmetto Bluff.


We enjoyed, perfect weather, and breezes, and dolphins, and sunset....amazing and beautiful day together!  Wow time flies, 16 years, 19 together!

Perfect night! Good music, good food, good scenery, good people!  Palmetto Bluff!

About a year ago or so, some of you may recall when I applied primer to the dark cave of a tiny half bath (dark wine...was like that when we bought the house five years ago.). The primer was such a relief, I just let it stay as is. But now tired of plain white, and I literally despise painting bathrooms (after two bathrooms in our WI house where I had to tear down wall paper)....so my compromise, a cute inspirational/coastal border. NOW I'm happy
