Forrest came home with a lovely bag of scallops from Sea Eagle Seafood after the market the other night. He knows they are my favorites and we couldn’t wait to cook them! Don’t they look fabulous? Delish! <3, Liz

pretty kitty
It’s been a rough day. My arthritis is seriously flaring and my right knee is so swollen that I haven’t been able to do anything (major bummer). I literally sat on our bed with an ice pack, my laptop, and a crochet hook all day. When I tried to get downstairs, I made it halfway …
congratulations, little bro!
We spent most of the day helping my brother, Marty, move into his new house! He and my uncle closed on a house (the “beginning of their empire”) a couple weeks ago. Marty officially moved out of our guest bedroom and into his new place today! It is super cute and we are so excited …
weekly flowers
These beauties were grown at Floral and Hardy Farm in Lexington, SC. I love the combination of textures and colors in this bunch! <3, Liz
Go Gamecocks!
My uncle wasn’t using his football tickets last weekend for the Carolina Gamecocks game, so he passed them on to Forrest, me, and my parents! Forrest and I don’t usually make it to the games, so sitting in the fancy box with cushy seats and a constant flow of snacks was pretty a-mazing. The view …

But then I got to thinking about the line “You can also implement this plan if there is a flood, earthquake, or other emergency.” Nice gimmick, CDC folks. You got my attention. And then Hurricane Irene brushed the east …
witches
The cooler weather has me sniffling and popping cold medicine like it’s my job. Bummer. But on the other hand, it seems a lot more appropriate to talk about Halloween decorations now that it’s officially mid-September. I love Halloween. I love pumpkins and fall decorations. I convinced Forrest to take the Halloween boxes out of …
a busy day and some cookies
On today… This afternoon was supposed to be super busy and crazy. It didn’t actually turn out that way, though. I met up with Kiah at the OH! Salon for a hair cut right after work. He gave me a very cool, swingy cut. It’s a lot of layers but they’re staggered in a really …
fall flowers
These beauties are gracing my bedside table this week. They are chocolate sunflowers from Floral & Hardy Farm in Lexington, SC. Aren’t they just the most perfect fall flower? I’m in love with their deep color. Hemingway likes them, too.
a happier memory
Yesterday, I wrote about the tragedy of September 11th. Now for a happier memory. Four years ago today, Forrest and I took an evening stroll around the Carolina campus and the SC State House. Forrest had some kind of excuse- wanting to try taking some nighttime photos or something. To me, it was a normal …
