It’s been a while since I saw “the boat.” The Hubster has this sailboat that he’s renovating at a dock down in Mount Pleasant. Selkie is her name-o. (Selkie: Something about a seal and a beautiful woman, a water legend. Anyway, it’s a broke boat with a weird name.)
At first the boat was anchored out in the creek and every now and again, we’d get in his little dinghy and motor out to it, spend the night, cook a little dinner, wake up to birds and breakfast and enjoy the heck out of it. Beautiful surroundings, fresh air, interesting folks down on the docks.

The best angle for pictures at Berkeley on Wednesday afternoon was along the third base line with the sun at my back, and coincidentally right next to the visiting Conway Tiger dugout.

Who knows how rumors like these get started?
Perhaps an overheard remark here or there, or a dropped name meant to impress a pretty woman who is definitely out of your league that is taken out of context by the party sitting at the next table over.

I’ve not had the fun of shopping for prom dresses since I bought my own – we’ll just say it was a long while back.
Our all-boy offspring contingent didn’t exactly go nuts over getting together an ensemble for prom. So I missed out on the full prom experience – not that I don’t love being mom to my guys. But girls they aren’t. So when my sister asked if she and her daughter could come down from Rock Hill to shop, I said yes. Sounded like a prissy, girlie weekend.
