This beach sunset is even more beautiful because my favorite little boy is in it! Iconic Charleston tree tunnel. A beautiful night scene near Ithaca on Cayuga Lake . Driving through the Ravenel Bridge is an experience I always look forward to especially when I am not driving. Scenic views from the reserve. More in my latest blog post at: Sunset over the salt marsh. Shem Creek, SC. It has been a while since I baked. We had lovely guests today so in their honor, I baked a Ferrero Rocher cake. Thank you @dea2kool for the stunning rose bouquet in my favorite color and the bottle of wine. Enjoyed getting to know your lovely wife a little better. 😘. Happy Lighthouse Day!

My first book is on Amazon !

It highlights the story of my family's leaving Lebanon and making a life for us in South Carolina. It’s an easy, quick read which was well received as evidenced by its Amazon reviews. It will make you smile, may bring about a tear or trigger a beautiful buried memory of your own childhood.
