A July tradition in Charleston.

Calling all Portland Girls!

Get in style this summer...

For those of you who live in or near Portland, Oregon...you are "oh so lucky" if you ask me! Portland is a beautiful city for so many reasons but one fabulous reason is that you get to shop at Frumoasa Boutique for the latest fashions and super girly attire!

Lucky you!!

Right now, I am in love with all of their handbags...love love love!

and lastly, here's a little glimpse of some of my new jewelry designs you can find at Frumoasa Boutique too...Have a fabulous weekend and a Happy Fourth of July!

June 30, 1981

28 years today!

Who wouldn't want goggles for their 5'TH birthday?!

My 6'TH Birthday back in 1987...Mom decorated with streamers and 90 balloons to be exact. :)

Oh the memories...

Hoping your day was special too.

Cheers!

"Run like the wind Bear"

He was a part of the family and he will be missed. "Run like the wind Bear" is what we called him. The first time Bear-Bear set paw on Folly Beach in Charleston, South Carolina, he took off and ran...he ran like the wind down the open beach to the waters edge. He was a free spirit and a wonderful friend.

Susie & Bear-Bear.

Christmas walk on Edisto Beach 2008.

My sister Susie adopted Bear-Bear at a Farmer's Market in Delaware (2 hours from home) when she was 15 years old. She immediately fell head over heels in love with the funny little guy and didn't think twice about spending all of her babysitting money right then and there (and without asking for my parents permission.) Bear had quite a few adventures with Susie during that first year of his life. My parents, who were hesitant at first, eventually grew to love him as well and Bear-Bear soon became a loving member of the family and a great companion dog.
Me & Bear-Bear just 6 days ago back home in Maryland.

Today is a sad day for my family as Bear-Bear left us early this morning.

Goodbye my friend; you will always have a huge place in my heart and

I will always love you dearly.

Hello!

I'm back and I'm a brunette!!

We just returned from our wonderful vacation visiting our family and are now unpacking and getting settled in. I'm also getting use to my new brunette locks! I thought it would be fun to change my hair color up a bit. Hmmmn...I hope it's not true that blonde's have more fun...I will soon find out. ;)

I'll post photos of our trip on Monday. My sister and her boyfriend are coming over in an hour and I have to get dinner together and make this place fancy FAST!

Thank you ALL so much for your well wishes while we were away! Hope y'all have a fabulous weekend...the last beautiful June weekend of the year...
