2023 – what a year! We sold our house in CA and moved clear ‘cross country to beautiful and serene South Carolina – where the days are lazy (and hot and humid), the old live oak trees are beautiful with their Spanish moss (which is neither moss nor Spanish), the ocean waters are warm and filled with delicious fresh fish and shellfish (oyser roasts, anyone), and the people are friendly with their Southern charm. We’ve settled in quite nicely.

Although mostly retired now, the jewelry making continues to keep me busy. Our community has a boutique on the first Saturday of the month, rain or shine (can’t complain about those 85′ squalls!). On my table one will find my fun and unique jewelry pieces as well as croched hats and scarves. It all keeps me busy and enjoying the semi-retirement, adding in bird and critter watching (ever heard of a fox squirrel?) while enjoying my morning coffee.

That’s it for now. Wishing y’all a lovely and blessed day!
