Boat landing with style

Riverland Terrace boat landing, James Island, SC 
The surprising location of the little wooden windmill makes the Riverland Terrace boat landing one of the most unique boat landings around. Sunday was bright and sunny and even if they didn't catch much fish my nephew enjoyed a beautiful last day in Charleston out on the water. Thanks Ian!

New Year's Resolutions

Riverland Terrace, James Island, S.C.
Ugggh. I've picked up the nasty cold virus that is going around  and was relieved I didn't have to do much today. I sound awful. Cough, sniff.

I did drag myself out of my favorite couch corner this afternoon to walk through Riverland Terrace. It's a lovely neighborhood of reasonably sized cottages, oak lined streets, close to the water and my favorite theater.

I had just started my walk when I was waved over by a gentleman who lifted a drape covering this vintage Harley like a magician revealing a treasure. He'd brought her down in boxes from Ohio and reassembled her lovingly. He was a widower of three years. He was the "Top Dawg" painted on the side and his wife's name "Cheech" was still on the back. Cheech used to enjoy riding behind him.

I had surely walked right into a New Year's resolution in action.  Get the bike ready to ride. Talk to women. Life goes on.

Happy New Year, Top Dawg. I think you are going to be okay.
