I Heart Charleston!

Watching the sunrise at the beach = perfection.

Getting Ready For Trick or Treat

Kaiti will be with her Dad this Halloween and we will miss her!!!
Sophie has chosen a black "keety" (kitty) costume this year and is so excited to show it off. Here she is modeling at Mimi's house.

"Southin Wimen" ....

.... Also known as Southern Women

I received an email from a dear friend of mine this afternoon. She is the founder of a large nonprofit here in Charleston, Chicks with Checks. I love these ladies!! I started thinking about how different the women behave here in comparison to where I grew up in Ohio. After attending my first fundraising event with the Chicks, I came to a stark realization; under my Sunday hat and white gloves.

Some major differences include but are not limited to:

*Southern women appreciate their natural assets: Clean skin. A winning smile. That unforgettable Southern drawl
*Ohio women appreciate pasty chicken bone skin and dry patches in the winter

*Southern women know their vacation spots: The beach> The rivuh> The crick> >
*Ohio women know their vacation spot: somewhere in the South>

*Southern girls know the 3 deadly sins:> Having bad hair and nails> Having bad manners> Cooking bad food
*Ohio women wear pj pants to get a haircut, dinner and a manicure at WalMart


Don't get me wrong, I love where I came from but love where I've ended up a bit more.

Kaiti's last night in Charleston Party
