1. Low country boil. I had never even heard of this meal. But now it’s pretty much a hospitality staple that I am served at least once a month. It’s the easiest way to feed a large group of people very delicious food at one time. Basically in one huge pot you get water boiling […]
After securing my camera bag in the pink basket attached to the front of my baby blue Schwinn, I hopped on and pedaled away in my flip flops. Weaving through tourists dragging coolers, wet towels and crying children as they exit the beach, I head toward the southern tip of Tybee. This is about five […]
Several years ago Sean and I both read a book by Timothy Ferriss called the Four Hour Work Week. This was well before we even had a thought of moving out of state. But it did begin to stir within us that there must be another way to live and work. The author challenges the […]
Fourth of July fireworks were never a big draw for me. I guess it’s because I grew up near Washington DC and our family never wanted to fight the crowds, traffic and hassle to go and be a participant. For several years, the Fourth was a family pool party at my parent’s house. That’s what […]
Many people have been asking me to write this post, but honestly I have not known where to start. First there is the clinical side of the story. That is the timeline marking minute by minute the chain of events that unfolded on Friday June 12 and turned into a scary and heroic rescue resulting […]

Are you spending time doing what makes you happy? Or are you just spending time? I invite you to re-evaluate your life and the days in it. There are always seasons in our lives where we have to do things that are unpleasant, or circumstances that obligate our time and energy when we would rather be […]
Other than sore muscles from hiking and heavy eyelids from sleep deprivation on a red eye flight, we had an uneventful travel day back to Tybee. That is until we arrived home and started seeing the news notifications that we had just missed the eruption of Turrialba Volcano, just north of San Jose. Within a […]
Our dinner last night with Papa Joe was exceptional. I enjoyed my ceviche especial and Sean had a chicken sandwhich. Joe is a vegan, so they made up a special dish for him of rice with hearts of palm and a salad. We have found every place we have eaten to be very accommodating and […]
When you are completely relaxed, it doesn’t really matter what you spend the day doing. We both read books and drank coffee in the tranquility of the garden sitting area this morning. By 11 am we took Jen and Greg’s suggestion and walked a few blocks to “Soda La Perla”. A Soda is what a […]
