Historic Georgetown

We left Pawley's Island and spent the rest of the day in Historic Georgetown. I loved spending the day with my loves. We are back at Casey's and winding down from a fun day.

Casey, Amanda, and I went to Pawley's Island today. After a good lunch at Pawley's Raw Bar, we visited the island. There was a lot of sand buildup from the hurricane and there was some large equipment on the beach working with the sand. I couldn't take photos of that because of the tall beach houses blocking the view; nor could I get over the huge mounds of sand to get on the beach.

It was a new adventure. I had never been to Pawley's Island.

Casey and Amanda shared some raw oysters. Not my cup of tea.

Oysters, Oysters, Everywhere!!

I love Egrets!

Taco Boy!

Casey, Amanda, and I went to Taco Boy this evening ~ one of my favorite places. I waited an entire year for this Mango Margarita. It was worth the wait!!!

It was dark by the time we left Taco Boy. The bench looks great with the lights shining down on it.

Charleston Sky

Early this evening.

The Roosters in Charleston are VERY large!

Ripley Pointe Marina, Charleston, SC

Oh how I love that moon!

Charleston Sunset Cruise

It was a perfect beautiful evening for our Sunset Cruise. Dinner was delicious and it was a relaxing evening spent with Casey and Amanda. The actual sunset was blocked by trees, but still a pretty sight. It was an evening to remember.

South Carolina Full Moon

Table Centerpiece. How did they know this is my favorite flower?

Great First Day in South Carolina

View from my bedroom window this morning.

Casey and I enjoyed lunch at Papa Zuzu's where I had my favorite ~ a Greek Veggie Pita!

Then, off to the airport ~ the plane peeking out of the hangar. It was too windy, so no flying!

Half-mast flags at the Airport.

Many planes tied down at the Airport.

Such a welcome sight!!

I made it ~ 7-1/2 hours ~ the traffic was brutal.

Southbound

I am southbound to Charleston, South Carolina. Finally!! It has been a long rough Summer with one thing after another preventing my visit to Casey's.

I can't wait to get there to spend time with Casey and Amanda, enjoy the sights, the ocean, the great food, laughter, and to celebrate Casey's birthday. I will also get to spend time with my friend, Pam Aries. We always have a great time together.

Mr. Magic will be home with Jake waiting on my phone calls to report the exciting daily events.

The flowers are still looking great on October the 1st. Wishing they could stay this way until the snow appears.

HELLO OCTOBER!!!

My favorite month!

For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come!

I AM A "SEARCHER"

"I am one of the searchers. There are, I believe, millions of us. We are not unhappy, but neither are we really content. We continue to explore life, hoping to uncover its ultimate secret. We continue to explore ourselves, hoping to understand. We like to walk along the beach, we are drawn by the ocean, taken by its power, its unceasing motion, its mystery and unspeakable beauty. We like forests and mountains, deserts and hidden rivers, and the lonely cities as well. Our sadness is as much a part of our lives as is our laughter. To share our sadness with one we love is perhaps as great a joy as we can know - unless it be to share our laughter. We searchers are ambitious only for life itself, for everything beautiful it can provide. Most of all we love and want to be loved. We want to live in a relationship that will not impede our wandering, nor prevent our search, nor lock us in prison walls; that will take us for what little we have to give. We do not want to prove ourselves to another or compete for love.

For wanderers, dreamers, and lovers, for lonely men and women who dare to ask of life everything good and beautiful. It is for those who are too gentle to live among wolves."

I am THE LOVERS Tarot Card

Motive, power, and action, arising from Inspiration and Impulse. THE LOVERS represents intuition and inspiration. Very often a choice needs to be made. Originally, this card was just called LOVE. And that's acually more apt than "LOVERS." Love follows in this sequence of growth and maturity. And, coming after the Emperor, who is about control, it is a radical change in perspective. LOVE is a force that makes you choose and decide for reasons you often can't understand; it makes you surrender control to a higher power. And that is what this card is all about. Finding something or someone who is so much a part of yourself, so perfectly attuned to you and you to them, that you cannot, dare not resist. This card indicates that you have or will come across a person, a career, challenge, or thing that you will fall in love with. You will know instinctively that you must have this, even if it means diverging from your chosen path. No matter the difficulties, without it you will never be complete.
