Out and About
Charlie and I traveled to South Carolina to visit Evelyn & her family.
A tour of Charleston led by Tommy Dew ended with him insulting me, so Charlie had to challenge him to a duel.
Mega house on the battery in Charleston.
Beautiful gardens in Savannah, and . . .
. . . magnolias,
and guys.
Back in time for Easter and a short burst of sunshine, with brunch, at Sara & Dave's.
Cousins are fun!

Nice post, Mom.
Those magnolias - WOWZA! Would love some for my house.
Great Easter pics.
chuckie take out tommie?
Hey we took that tour and TD was/is a Dbag. Charleston is beautiful but full of attitude, was built on the backs of slaves which they still barely acknowledge. I got royally sick of hearing about how great they were and how yankees still don't understand. When I saw the full page ad for the NRA in the newspaper there I know it was time to go.
Loved the picture of you and Harper Mary, also Evelyn and the magnolia very pretty.
We took the tour with TD on Jim's recommendation. Some other time I'll relate the insult. Charleston was a very conflicted experience for us as well. A tour of the slave mart museum was haunting and unbearably sad.
At the end of the tour, the tourists did a little clapping. Tommy the wise guy tried to make a joke. He shook Mary's hand and said: "You're not the first Yankee gal to come down here and give a southern boy the clap." Ha Ha. Very classy, Tom. Apparently they're still fighting "The War of Northern Aggression."
took mr lincoln a year and a half--until after the battle of antietam--to proclaim the emancipation. prior to that all the killin was mostly about the south wantin out and the north, like the british crown 80 yrs earlier, sayin no way jose.
I think Tommy should read our reviews. I'll send him the blog link.
