My Birthday Re-cap

My birthday celebration couldn’t have been more perfect. It started before I got out of bed with personalized videos sent to me, one from a friend I had only met once seven years ago, and one from my brother in Nicaragua… When technology is not driving me crazy, it is truly amazing me! Then Ava […]

Vacation to Stay-cation

We arrived back to Tybee on Friday afternoon a full week earlier than intended from our vacation.

Better to Give Than to Receive

A cold Miller Lite inside my signature stainless steel koozie was clutched in my hand. Next to me sat Katie. We were at the concrete bar on the outside deck at hucapoos. Enjoying the warm southern winter with a clear sky dotted with stars overhead. JT, who was tending bar, asked us if we were […]
