“Charleston – where history lives,” an advertisement line that captures what Ron and I enjoy about this centuries old city and calls us to make periodic visits. Although cloudy and rainy, we ventured forth last Saturday for a Charleston experience. As usual, we walked the streets of The Battery area, peaked through the wrought iron garden gates, checked out unique shops on King St, read historic markers and looked for treasures at The Market. Of course, picking a place to eat was the biggest decision of the day.
Fleet Landing was the winner and we enjoyed its waterfront views and well-prepared seafood. All of this is to explain the new banner on my blog.
However, the biggest treat of the day was a visit with Ms. Nell, a former resident of Myrtle Beach who now lives with family on Johns Island. As always, our conversation was stimulating and included many subjects. We looked over the marsh, watched a variety of birds come to the feeders, and admired her lovely new home. Her grace and smile offer joy and hope to all who know her. Thanks, Ms. Nell.

The colors and the angle of your head turn in your new banner indicate that you are taking in new vistas. All of us should be so open. Tom
Trevor and I love Charleston also. We enjoyed a visit last Aug. for my birthday.
We've stayed busy since your kind visit to our home. Olivia is growing well. We have traveled for two family deaths this past month-Trevor's uncle and grandfather-both his dad's side of the family. Also, one of my dear friends and mentor, Cindy Gurley, passed away. She fought cancer for over 9 years, so it does bring comfort to know she is in heaven now and totally healed.
We look forward to Easter Sunday and pray all works out to finally make it back to church.
Love,
Maria
