For the first time ever, Isle of Palms has their very own farmers market, located at the county park on Thursday’s from 4-7 through the end of October. Since I started reading about this (and hearing about the variety of vendors!) I couldn’t wait to check out the IOP farmers market. This past Thursday, after […]
Hurricane Irma provided us with our second “hurrication” in a twelve month period, and I personally feel that traveling with all of your “crucial” possessions and your cat is overrated. Needless to say, while we were blown away by the generosity and kindnesses of friends and strangers during evacuation, we are really glad to be […]

If you’re at the pool, big bend dock, or Old House Lane this week, be sure to look up. There has been a group of Mississippi Kites overhead, putting on a show, pretty much on a daily basis. This raptor soars like a falcon on the thermals, and today I saw a total of 13 of them […]
Fun on Dewees On Monday, August 21st, there is a total solar eclipse across most of the country, finishing up right over our island. We are pretty excited about it, and trying to plan ahead for a bunch of things. On the FUN front, the interns have set up a geocache course that can be […]
The fourth was in full swing on Dewees, as some of our annual events were spread out. First, the annual beach run and Jan’s brunch: This race is always a hit, and gives us a chance to earn those fabulous snacks Jan puts together. It’s usually the biggest crowd we’ll see on the beach all […]
