And, I bumped into a fellow clarinetist in the pool!
Grateful for another beautiful night in Paradise
our beloved hummingbird and fairy garden, midsummer:
Beautiful night at Shelter Cove Park...picnic dinner on the marsh, and great music by The Headliners!
Sunday
tea with grandma...third generation sipping tea from this set gifted
from my mom's Aunt and Uncle, from Japan. Some of the original pieces
still survive! 
pancakes and shoe shopping with grandma and grandpa!
sweet backyard visitors!
Another fabulous Lowcountry night: brought a picnic to Palmetto Bluff to see The Blue Dogs....a fundraising benefit for Family Promise, an organization that helps get families on their feet with jobs and housing and education. My parents do some volunteer work for this through their church.
We started out sitting amidst the crowd, until I suggested (ahem told them 🤓) that we'd like it better by the river, behind the band: much quieter, more breezy, and a great atmosphere... There were big camp fires going too! Great night!
