A Most Excellent First Week

Happy Sunday morning everyone!  I snitched the laptop this morning because Momma Sharon was busy cleaning up after her Sunday Brunch and getting ready for some Panther's football.

It's a beautiful, sunny morning in the Low Country, but a tad on the chilly side.  The brunch scheduled for outdoors this morning got moved inside without a hiccup.  Miss Ellen moved her mimosa-making inside, Mom cooked her dishes (Creamy Garlic-Herb Grits & Maple Sausage links) indoors, and the other Beach Peeps had outlets for their crock pots full of all sorts of things like cheese eggs, rice pudding, and oatmeal.

I thought I would share some photos of stuff that I have seen all around me this week, because it's been a most excellent week here on the first leg of the Coastal Caravan V.

Tomorrow is a Travel Day for us and I will lead a little caravan up Highway 17 to Myrtle Beach State Park where we will rendezvous with Deb, Ruthe & Lloyd, Kathryn, Kevin & Miriam, and Sandy & John.  And we get to do this coastal camping thing for another whole week!

I will probably be in charge of the blogging duties tomorrow and will have a Short Story ready for you Monday evening.  Until then, always remember . . .

Week 1 Of The CCV"

Mornin' everyone!  I am chillin' out on this Wednesday morning . . . my first full day on the Coastal Caravan, version five.  All my Peeps are here and life is good in the Low Country.

Yesterday we caravanned down with Blue Heaven (Bill & Elaine's Alto) from Newton to James Island County Park in Charleston, SC.  We had a good trip, made one comfort/breakfast/gas stop where we switched drivers and broke the 5-hour trip in half.

It was pretty dang hot yesterday and the humidity made Mom's hair curl like crazy, so getting me set up for the week was a sweaty affair. Friends dropped by off and on all afternoon to get in their hugs and hellos.

Momma Sharon called Rita's down in Folly Beach to warn them that nineteen campers would be arriving for supper at 5:45.  Believe it or not, everyone got there on time!  Check this out: over half of my Beach Peeps ordered Shrimp & Grits!  The volume level in the restaurant was raised considerably because our crowd, LOL.

Beach Peep Sue ordered oysters on the half shell to get started

After supper, there was a stroll over to the pier and gift shop.  It was a lovely evening in Folly Beach and a great way to close out our CCV arrival day.

Thanks so much for dropping by for my initial Coastal Caravan V Story. I will probably let Momma Sharon write some Postcards for you in the coming two weeks.  Taking turns will be fun .  So until I'm back with another Coastal Story, always remember . . .
