dad

happy fathers day to a dad who's dry wit usually leaves me with
"wha??..then it sinks in and i recall it and laugh hysterically..especially when my brother imitates him"
my dad is the dad at parties, vacations, ect that would rather hang with the kids, show them card tricks or discuss whatever randomness.. then hang with the parents (he used to tell me they were boring)
thanks for all your laughs you bring to my life, dad, without really knowing it.. your toasts at weddings, memories of embarrassing me when i walk out to my carpool, and most importantly your sayings..
here are a few:
"susie..telephone!" (inside family joke)
"daaaarlin..i wrote the book"
" i am your faaatha"
"marmalade me, who laid you?"
"certnie"= certainly
"litral"=literal
"what planet are you from?"
"you wanna walk around like a crab.." (this one directed to my brother)
telephone rings:
me: hello
me: what are you doing?..
dad: talkin to you
(after talking for awhile..)
dad: well enjoyed hearin you breathe"

i love you dad!

southern state of mind


image from here

i am back..completely exhausted and so swamped, but had to tell you how fabulous a setting Charleston SC was i could live there in a heartbeat! We were biked around in rikshaws everywhere we went..i ate grits every chance i could order them, must go to Hominy grill..and absorbed a ton of family time at one of the prettiest wedding i have ever seen..

fav store was South of Market, this chic industrial meets french laid back comfort, was dripping with style ..i could move into the store..

happy 4th!



4th of july brings back way too many vivid memories of where i should be.. at my river house, this is what the day means to me....red/white/blue all around, parade on the dirt road, yankie doodle dandy, paper hats, sparklers, watermelon seed spitting, popsicles, smelling like sunblock, napping on the porch with the fan blasting on you, picking crabs, salt water, dancin on the pier all night until the sun comes up, generations of families, a little piece of americana...

summertime its here! at least i think so!

one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready and go catherine go!

early sun goddess, gotta love the coppertone

its so crazy, summer is here! i grew up every summer on a river ..brings back the best memories..picking crabs, getting stung by stinging nettles, toeing for clams, running through mud puddles during those afternoon storms, sitting on the porch, playing russian bank, catching turtles in the pond (more like a swamp), playing ghost in the graveyard, forth of july dancing on the pier, sparklers, taking outdoor showers, hanging with family..
