s, This is the second year we have bundled up and taken whomever wants to join us to the James Island County Park Festival of Lights. The park puts this light show on every year and, for the most part, it's very pretty-- I just have a thing about some of the designs out there not being remotely holiday related--the firing on Fort Sumter, for example. Anyway, a very dear friend of ours plays Christmas music out there a couple of times during the festival weeks so we went last year and had a great time...in the freezing cold rain. Tonight, it was freezing (not really, it was 36 degrees) but clear and, once again, we had a great time--except we missed Gibby (this crazy, Yankee sweet roommate of Birdie and DoodleBug's!).
DoodleBug and CurrentBoyToy with Tucker
The rider here actually starts to the left of the fence and jumps over it...couldn't quite capture that.
A conglomeration of lights.
This is what the old bridge connecting Mount Pleasant to Charleston looked like.
This is what the new bridge looks like.
This one and the next one are for Patrice and Gail.
Love the lights. There is a bridge near the Arkansas/Mississippi state line that looks very much like that second one that you have posted. Merry Christmas and have a happy RT.
You know how much I love lights. These are beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I also love the Ruby Tuesday and that ring is pretty along with the boytoy. Take care and thanks for stopping by. Gotta share something with you today. I walked/ran my personal best today (according to Lance Armstrong on my nike thing) a 5K in 40:28. All 188 lbs of me moving as fast as I can. Take care my friend and have the most awesome, blessed day today.
These lights are awesome! Love the Bridge all decked out too--Enjoy your Holiday!!We are headed upstate for Christmas..and the S word is in the forecast? WOW.
Love the star and moon shot! Very cool! Your daughter and her beau are a cute couple ... Tucker makes the photo even cuter!
Just in case I don't make it back before the big day, I want to wish you and your lovely family a warm, wonderful and especially delightful Christmas! Enjoy
Thank you so much everyone! If I didn't already have the Christmas spirit, all of your comments sure would have given it to me! DD2 is almost home--only 2 hours away! Then, off to Wal-Mart. That's right. We're going to Wal-Mart at midnight. She's afraid if I go alone they'll have to visit me in jail for Christmas! How well our children know us, yes? LOL
Being a transplant to the low-country of SC for 31 years is still not long enough to be called a ‘benyeh.’ If I stay until I’m dead I’ll probably go a ‘comeyeh’ since I am, originally, ‘from off’ (which is the upstate but, rules you know). By day I take care of my sweet little granddaughter, Baby M and do all those things I did when I was a SAHM raising four daughters which has translated to, ‘by day, I am exhausted.’ By night I blog, blog, blog, and blog some more or I sleep, depending on my level of exhaustion (do they still make Geritol?). I have a very unhealthy addiction to sweets (nearly any kind will do) and all comfort foods not covered under the ‘sweets’ category. I’m known for speaking my mind so, if you don’t want to know, don’t ask me. I love to find the humor in my empty nest life. I live life hard and smack into that brick wall almost daily because I’ve always had to learn the hard way. Why change now? I’m so glad you’ve come to laugh with me as I do this middle age, empty nest thing like a BOSS!
