Hello Monday

Hello Monday of a (very) short week.

Hello week of giving thanks for all God has blessed me with.

Hello week of intensive antibiotics and no Humira.

Hello week of probable hurting and fatigue.

Hello wonderful SC fall weather.

Scavenger Hunt Sunday–Saluda River Edition

Mainly One Color

I nearly always have my camera with me. I was thankful the other night when it down poured and I had my camera with me to get night with rain shots.

Around the Home

Around our home this week has been filled with all things ankylosing spondylitis. Sometimes the treatments are as bad as the disease itself, but unfortunately it’s essential to take the meds. This past month I’ve been plagued by stomach pain. Turns out I have a bleeding ulcer from years of NSAID for the inflammation and H. Pylori bacteria (that most people do have) in the stomach that turned infectious due to my lowered immunity from the Humira. Ugh! It’s hard to not get down about me health and lack of control over it, so I continually give it to God and know that He has plans to prosper me and not harm me and plans for my future.

Oh, and I knew about that white dog hair on the bracelet. My dog, God love him, sheds like a crazy and his fur is everywhere.

Water

Remember when these were all the rage in the blogosphere? This one features the Saluda River.

Reflection

Another Saluda River shot.

Words

See where it says “water”. Yeah, I could’ve used this shot for water too.

  Have a great week!

Gibson Pond Park at Dusk

I love the light at dusk and was wanting to take some pictures so we packed up the scooters and camera and headed over to Gibson Pond Park last night. I LOVE fall here in South Carolina!

Turned on its side, doesn’t it look like a Rorschach Blot test? What do you see?

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

Inspired by a Book or Movie

Forgive me, but my memory is less than stellar. I know this shot reminds me of a Southern movie mansion, but I don’t recall which movie. I even tried googling my thoughts on what it could be, but to no avail.

Brown

My hair is brown. So are my freckles. So is the lining around my lips. Isn’t that so weird. I swear I got it after being pregnant with Charlie.

Hazy

Tea

If you could see just to the right of this chandelier, you would see a fancy tea room.

I didn’t dare starting shooting in the tea room. Would’ve been down right impolite of me!

Linger

This little guy lingered on our window for what seemed like forever.

We kept rapping the glass to get him off but it didn’t seem to bother him at all.

Have a great week!

Charleston {Part Deux}

For part one, click here.

The adults and I (minus Kurt) went out to eat at Poogan’s Porch. I’m not sure what I was thinking not taking a picture of the outside. It’s a historic house turned restaurant. They named it Poogan’s Porch because the dog that lived there was named Poogan. His grave is in the front yard. Anyway, this is my grandma oohing and ahhing over her hummingbird cake with a fried plantain slice on top.

We walked around downtown after the dinner. This is Second Presbyterian Church (not the first!) at night.

We went on a carriage tour of downtown. Ryan loved the horses, Carter and Cash.

This is Charleston Harbor. The middle island is Ft. Sumter and one of the other two is Ft. Moultrie.

Yeah, guess I wasn’t really paying attention at that point!

Norma and my Grandma had matching shoes and my mom and I had matching shoes.

We ate dinner at Fleet Landing and the view was beautiful!

Sunday morning the boys sat through a three hour brunch at a five-star restaurant. Boy was I proud!

Grandma enjoyed her special banana ice cream dessert.

After a long weekend we headed home and rested!

From the Stands

When I grew up in SD, fall meant cold, snow and bundling up.

For my children, fall in SC means shirts off and playing football.

Crazy weird how different SD and SC are!

Fair at Night

Gotta love the fair at night!

A Bit Much Perhaps

Politics: I don’t like them and I don’t discuss them (much). I know some die-hards on both sides of the fence and just have to laugh when I see something like this. As the Southerners would say, “Bless his heart”.

I’m glad I had a camera in the car to capture this.

Our Day at the Peach Festival

Oddly enough, I have no pictures of peaches at the Peach Festival. But, I did get lots of picures of cars and other stuff!
