Enjoy the view for it's paid for.
Thank you dancers.

We all do it at one time or another. If you have a little too much weekend on a weekend, the best thing to do is get back in the saddle and ride again. There is no way you can make up for doing too much so don't overdo a workout thinking you can.
Life is full of turns and challenges so just take this in stride and just do your exercises as if you didn't over eat or over drink. The best medicine is hydration and a less stressful workout.

Let's Talk LowCountry

The smell of South Carolina Low-Country Sweetgrass is in the air. It's not strong but it's there.

Like the Gullah Culture it puts a smile on your face. There is something good about having a hand-weaved Sweet-rass basket in the house and an original art work on the wall.


The SweetGrass Culture Arts Festival

 this year will be on

 June 2nd in Mt. Pleasant (Charleston)
under the historic Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge.

 Patriots Point Memorial Water Park will be filled with sweet grass baskets, fine art and almost any type craft you can think of. 
My family can not enter the studio during the whole month of May. It is too pack with energy, canvases and other art work. 



If you love art place this date on your calendar or better yet make it a weekend and enjoy the friendly city. 




"The White Dress Collection"
*Original Art work available at excellent festival prices


Finding the my ladies in their big hats shouldn't be too hard. 
There might even be a gift for you if you are there early.

Okras And Its Love Of It

http://gardenandgun.com/articles/okras-deep-roots/
Okra has a long history in the South. There is no Gumbo with out it. It is also breaded and fired. And, there is even a Festival in Irmo, South Carolina that features it as the main attraction. It's called the Okra Strut. However, you ask anyone in the west or North and you may get a weird look back.
