Annie & I in Gatlinburg 2019

 Annie wanted a special birthday trip with mamma, and she chose Gatlinburg Tennessee! So we rode all of the skylifts, went to Ober Gatlinburg, walked the sky bridge, And did all of the downtown Gatlinburg activities! We even found a shop called "thistle dew nicely", which is the same play on words of our Edisto house that we all stay in each year. Of course we had to take a picture of Annie by the wax figure of trump and saying "this is going to be huuuuuge!" On the way back I even saw the neighborhood that Papa used to be very interested in back when I was a teenager, Cobbly Knob! It was a beautifully memorable mother/daughter trip!

Leia Turns Seventeen in 2019

Our Leia just turned 17 !  And we were so happy to celebrate her birthday this year with Harvest, her boyfriend, as well!  For her big gift, she really wanted a digital art sketch pad. So that is what we got her! She would use this item for years and years! You can also see evidence of the activities that Leia and Harvest like to do together. Lots of hiking boots, gaming, and Marvel items !

A Special Spot at the Clemson Botanical Gardens 2019

 Shana and I would often go to Mass together on Sunday, this is after I would go to Mass with the family on Saturday night. After each Mass we would often go to the botanical gardens at Clemson. There is a special spot under the trees with a little squirrel figure where we would love to sit and have lunch.
