It's a bug!

Barnes Auto, James Island, S.C.

I pass this corner every time I go to a Friday matinee on a Friday. Barnes Auto Center always has a couple of old VW Beetles around.

I squeezed in The East at the Terrace Theater and just got back from enjoying a little green Thai curry and bought a couple of hydrangeas on sale at Lowes. Not a bad start to the weekend.

Thank a volunteer - Lowcountry Senior Center

Lowcountry Senior Center, James Island, S.C.

Next week is Volunteer week but we've been pro-active and held volunteer recognition events this week. I've been party hopping and have been hugged by so many wonderful people I should be radiating good will.

I've helped host volunteer award luncheons for Bon Secours St. Francis Hospital, Mount Pleasant Hospital, Roper Hospital and today I attended a recognition brunch for the Lowcountry Senior Center volunteers on James Island. What a great group. Joe Hanf, pictured getting the smooches above has volunteered for over 10,000 hours for the Senior Center.

Saving the Quirky Lowcountry

James Island Baptist Church, S.C.

Thank you to all my friends who joined the Riverland Terrace Garden Club's dinner last night to raise the money to repair our quirky little windmill. We arrived a few minutes early and walked down to the water to visit the actual windmill. The new mayor of James Island James Woolsey was there with his wife doing the same thing.

We had a very pleasant evening with good company, a great meal provided by Chef Barry Waldrop of Stono Cafe and a silent auction. They needed $3,000 to do the repairs and pay for insurance and I am sure they got what they needed.
