Summertime Fun
We're having a lovely summer--so many beautiful feast days to celebrate: Corpus Christi, the Nativity of John the Baptist, Sacred Heart of Jesus, Immaculate Heart of Mary, Saints Peter and Paul. Best of all, Max and his girlfriend came for a visit, so we've had a lovely time all together, going to the beach, a visit to Middleton Plantation (they have an oak that's a thousand years old!) and the Angel Oak (about 500 years old). So fun to be a tourist in our hometown--Max is a good tour guide too. We also ate a lot. Michael's brisket is soooo good. And we had a traditional Indian meal at home too, with mangoes and heavy cream.

Such a rich and beautiful post. If a picture is worth a thousand words, your post about June is a beautiful novel
Thank you. My heart is full! Deo gratias!
Gorgeous photos! It's so fun to take in the sights when you have people visiting.I'm always searching out places to go nearby because I love short trips and learning about where I live. For instance, I live in a small town in Oregon, but President Hoover grew up here. His house is really interesting.
That huge tree is breathtaking! And the beach scene is so peaceful. Wish I lived near a beach.
Thank you, Jenni and Barb. We live in such a beautiful place and the live oaks with Spanish moss are things I do not take for granted. What stories that big old tree could tell.
Barb, the beach is so healing. If I'm having a migraine, I don't play in the waves but just lie in the shallows and soak up the minerals. And in the evenings it is very peaceful. We are so very blessed here.
Actually. I do live near a beach: Lake Ontario! We used to like to drive along the lakeshore when we still had a car. But I meant the ocean. :-)
Ah, at least you're near a body of water, Barb. But yes, there's something very special about the ocean, esp. the salty spray.
