In lieu of trying to belong to any number of societies: Chesterton, Sherlock Holmes, the Inklings, and so on: I propose and establish one of my own. Don your intelligence cap at the door; dust off your logic and imagination; did you bring your inspiration and encouragement? We are shapers, my friends; lit lamps; light-bringers. Bring quotes; poetry should be uplifting and thoughtful, or witty and clever, (or both). Humor is encouraged; laughter is invited back. Pull up a chair. Anyone for tea?

The continued adventures in SC

comforts~
Ecuadorian Ceviche
ever writing
Soccer!
watching a game with a gorgeous sunset
 
Charleston:
 
 
the Sea!
 
 
what prettier sight than that sky with the sea~
 
sights round about Charleston
 
The beach!:
promptly thought of Chincoteague and Assateague,
and of sailing in Brambly Hedge 
Gulls: they will forever remind me of numerous books, as diverse as Time of Wonder, and Rolf and the Viking Bow,
Our alternative to the sand-castle, the idea of which was all Rhomy's, as was the careful instruction as to how it should look: a replica of Machu Picchu and the surrounding mountains.
 
 
 
salt-water on my tongue...
 
Machu Picchu!
 
...and it's constructors
 
my catfish and salad--so delicious, especially after a good day at the beach...
 
...where I of course got a ridiculous sunburn.
(Clearly that didn't stop us from being silly--I just moved a bit more gingerly.)
 
 
 
barbequed pork and good old collards (must have the whole experience of course)
 
and a well-enjoyed tea with a gluten-free muffin in the market
 
the mighty bridge... the view from it was quite amazing as well, but harder to take pictures of (a very cool sailboat, and an aircraft carrier...)
a museum...
 
 
friends!
 
window-boxes
 
projects...
More to come my friends...
And Happy Mother's Day!

No, we didn't. But we had a civil war tour, and quite a bit of walking about in the lovely city. Beautiful place.
