A wonderful night with Tess - YouTube Kelly, Pink, Kieth

 I know a good thing when I find it 

And you better know it!

Those were the last word from the maomma tonight after we had an incredible spontaneous tour of music together tonight. Tess began by asking me to listen to a musical artist she saw on this mornings CBS Saturday Morning:


We started there and then just continued to explore, both of us trying to think of songs and people we love and it was wonderful. After finding the Bahamas we searched for Kieth Urban, Kelly Clarkson, Pink, Annie Lenox and then circles back to the Bahamas Workin on my guitar. Such a beautiful evening together. This is love. This is what love is. Doing nothing and suddenly making something, I am so lucky So lucky and we are so real together I mean even tonight fighting or at least barking at each other but knowing that we live within this bond of trust and knowing that it’s unbreakable. I might have to back to capture the videos from tonight since it’s after 12 and I’m actually tired enough to go to sleep but I do want to capture tonight and keep it forever or as close to forever as I can..

Our latest / Our Last Visit to The Low Country - Dataw Island in Beaufort

Sunday October 8th 2023 we started out from Hendersonville early in the morning… we’ll make that before 12 pm. 277 miles to 2017 Bluffs Villa Road or  4 hours and 36 minutes as calculated by Google Maps so we had time a plenty for a reasonable trip with a check in time no sooner than 4. Well let’s say at 7 pm after 10 or 12 stops, long lines of traffic and a speeding ticket issued within the last 10 miles of our destination…. We arrived safe, sound and sober at the pearly gates of Dataw. We gave up the idea of eating at a restaurant so I set my sights and taste buds on getting fried chicken at Publix. All I wanted was that and a jug of spring water to make our coffee. I had packed all of our essentials including butter, cream, booze and pillows apparently thinking that if we didn’t make it to our VRBO home we could somehow survive in a roadside camp. Even though it was dark when we arrived we could tell it was a very nice place and when we entered our home away, the address had been changed 3 times, now 2006 Bluff Villas, it was Beautiful! Tess thinks I over use that word so… it was comfortable? Yes, it was nice. Over the next few days we ate at these restaurants:  Luther’s Rare and Well, The Morgan River Grill, The Foolish Frog 3 times and I boiled Shrimp that I bought at Mrs Bradley’s

And drove to these sites: Hunting Island, Marsh Boardwalk Trail, Fort Fremont, The Sands where I walked a boardwalk and climbed a wooden tower and  the  Cypress Wetlands where I saw an alligator and met a family from Lyman on Port Royal.
