MY BLOG

Sorry folks, I’ve had a busy summer with two sessions of Camp Grandma, a major birthday, don’t ask, and lots of travel.I noticed some school buses on the road this week and that can only mean one thing, it’s back to school time. I have fond memories of standing at the top of our driveway […]

Memorial Day weekend is the official start of summer. In Charleston it means many things: Get to the beach early if you want a parking space. If you don’t start quickly at a red light you will get honked by someone from “off”. They don’t know our horns aren’t used in Charleston. It’s snake mating […]

My late husband was Catholic and I’m Jewish. Our children were raised Catholic, but I stayed true to my roots. We went to church on almost every Sunday. I felt worshiping as a family was the most important part and G-d doesn’t care where you prayed as long as you did. We usually spent Easter […]

I was married for 46 years when my husband died. He still asked, “Do you love me?” Of course, I said yes. But after 46 years together was the love the same? Marriage and relationships change and so does love. Does any 20 something really know what love is and what that “love” they are […]

Happy New Year! Aren’t we happy to start a new year? Aren’t we hoping wearing masks will be a thing of the past? Well, maybe not right away but hopefully in 2022. As you may have figured out if you regularly read these blogs, one of us is the writer. Guilty as charged. It’s me, […]

Thanksgiving is a time of memories. Memories we have from the past and making new ones. I know Yvette celebrates with her family. How lucky she is to be born and bred in Charleston and be surrounded by family not just for holidays but all the time. Chari is not from Charleston, but she has […]

October is the “almost” month. It’s almost cool outside. It’s almost time to turn on the heat. It’s almost time for Thanksgiving. As children we looked forward to Halloween. As parents we were worried that our child might be sorry he/she chose the costume that they chose, and we worried we would run out of […]

As a Jewish person I have what I like to call a “do over”. I get to celebrate the new year and make resolutions twice. (My partners, Chari and Yvette are Christian.) This year as we approach the High Holy days which are Rosh Hashanah the Jewish New Year and Yom Kippur the Day of […]

This blog is taking a little “poetic license”. So much fun to think about what it was like to be a kid in the summer. Staying out until dark, catching fireflies, (I’m from up north.) and singing along with all the summer songs, like this one: Summer of 69′ Summer in Charleston may just be […]

It’s here. We know you’ve been waiting for it for over a year. Yep, here we go! It’s summer and we can go out and play. Masks are optional if you are vaccinated. Beach here we come.<\/p>\r\n<p>Last summer gardens were our salvation. We poured so much love into our gardens because be honest, there wasn’t […]
