Last Saturday, my husband and I were traveling down Boundary Street when we found ourselves suddenly surrounded by hoopla. As we rolled up to the light at the corner of Ribaut, there appeared to be two public demonstrations vying for attention (and horn honks) – two groups of Beaufort citizens, on opposite sides of the street, chanting, brandishing posters, and waving flags. 

Cooking is therapy for me. A day alone in the kitchen is not only a great chance to be creative, it's also an opportunity to escape from the concerns of the day. It's kind of like culinary yoga. Over the years, I've learned that messing up every dish in the house is very good for my soul.

National Association of Women Artists Exhibit at Art League Gallery

The SC chapter of National Association of Women Artists, an elite group of 47 painters, mixed media artists, sculptors and photographers, is showcasing juried member works inspired by the beauty and solitude of land and sky at Art League beginning September 9. 

No, not that “F word.” Not the one that I heard so often while working on the thoroughbred racetrack in my 20’s from people who punctuated their sentences with the expression as a matter of course. In order to sound tough, I guess. But as a visualizer, I jumped nearly every time I heard it because the “movie” of that “activity” replayed in my brain. I could live the rest of my days without that word entering my ears and be perfectly, delightfully happy.
