Oh so sad I've fallen in the black hole of non-posting. Apologies. But I'm back and determined to do better. Having just come from a lovely long weekend in Charleston, it's a perfect opportunity to restart. Mark and I went to see Tiffany, Chris, and Penny and Juliet in their new home. It's gorgeous as you can see. True southern charm.
They live on a quiet cul de sac on a wooded lot with a pond. We saw a doe, raccoon, and squirrels in their backyard, and though we kept an eye out, no alligator showed its face in the pond. There have been sightings and everyone know caution is the rule.
We got to tag along when there was a family photo shoot in a gorgeous park in downtown Charleston. So much beauty in that town.

Our first visit to Boone Hall Plantation. It's five minutes from the house and a beautiful location. Founded in 1681, one of America's oldest working farms with 250 year old live oak trees. Lots of movies and tv series were filmed there (the Notebook, for one) along with a plethora of weddings. (Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds was the last celebrity one) Chris's grandparents from Delaware happened to be on a road trip with their friend to Myrtle Beach and joined us for the afternoon. His grandmother kindly took this shot.
Back to Naples after not one, but two birthday dinners for me: Charleston and Miami. Very spoiled am I...
