Dear Reader:

If I could have more days like my yesterday …my heart would sing a lot louder. After our windy rainy Thursday …yesterday was picture-perfect!

Bluest blue skies, cool but not too hot or cold, gentle breezes but not gale forces, sunny with just enough warmth to want to curl up in a hammock but not too much to fall asleep and get a sun burn-it was ” Goldilocks on her best behavior-kind of day.”

Now add a 300 -plus-year old church near the banks of the Ashley River with a rich history declaring it the oldest surviving church in the Carolinas ( 1706) and lunch at its annual tea room fundraiser with a favorite friend ( Honey) and well… life doesn’t get much better.

The lunch menu is famous for the richest, creamiest she-crab soup around with shrimp paste sandwiches and congealed salads… topped off with a selection of historically baked desserts from all time periods. Check it out for yourself!

We always pick up some ” tomato” knives they sell at the annual fundraiser -perfect for slicing red juicy tomatoes razor thin-once you cut a tomato with these knives you can never use anything else.

On the way out Honey and I bumped into one of our favorite people we worked with at the district office.. the Public Information spokesperson-Pat Raynor. Pat retired just a few months ago and is still acclimating to a new serenity after the crazy pace her job required. I told her ” Well Pat, a little bit of advice-when people ask …What are your plans… what are you going to ” DO” -reply- ” Nothing… I don’t ” do” anymore… I just ” Be” and I have discovered ” Being is enough.”

So until tomorrow…

PEACE PRAYER

May the Spirit of comfort and compassion envelope all who dwell in fear. May the Spirit of wisdom and humility enliven our global leaders. May we affirm the dignity and rights of all free men everywhere. May we seek ☮️ peace!
