Monday, my final day, in The Low Country

 

My last day at MarshSong began, as usual, with coffee on the porch with Moonpie.

And a few of the local deer, which are all very petite.

Then I drove into Beaufort and did a little exploring.

Then a visit to The Pat Conroy Literary Center and  a very special private tour with Kathy Conroy Harvey.

And then a tour of St. Helena Island with my hostess, Mary Ellen Thompson.

I think I may have mentioned the magic of The Low Country.

You just have to be open to it and it will find you in its many different forms.

The day ended with a little "do" in my honor hosted by Mary Ellen and Mike McFee at Mike's lovely home.

Saturday in The Low Country

 

As usual, my day began with coffee on the porch and a visit with Moonpie.

Then I took a drive to find Pat Conroy's grave to pay my respects.

Then I visited The Penn Center.

The Brick Church is part of The Penn Center and is where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote part of his "I Have a Dream" speech.

On my way back to MarshSong I spotted  church run seafood festival that looked, and smelled, too good to pass up.

Delish!

Then it was time for a little more porch time with MoonPie and a phone chat with Donald.

I'm missing that cute guy of mine pretty bad.

We ended the day with the Wrap Up Reception at the Pat Conroy Literary Center.  

It was a perfect evening.

More pictures from this evening coming soon - check back!
