Sunshine and play dates.
June 29, 2019
Somestimes you just need the sun, a golf cart, some boiled peanuts, a beer in a paper bag and a sweet friend.
I’m finally getting caught up with my writing here. I want to make a note or observation about every adventure I go on during this next part of my life. My adventures are solo at the moment, but hopefully not for long. I’m enjoying flying solo for a while to be honest. I had a weird relationship experience that lasted about eight months, not worth recounting, so I am intentionally taking some time away from being in a relationship. Feels right for now.
My first solo trip was to the sweetest little airbnb on Folly Beach, right out side of Charleston, SC.
There’s a photo of my tiny little cottage on a hill on an island at the bottom of this post.
I’m having trouble with photo placement, can you tell? Don’t worry, I’ll figure it out.
Anyway, if you look really close on the roof of the cottage, you’ll see a steeple. This place was an old church on the island at one point. Built in the shape of a cross. Brilliant idea for a small home. I wish is was mine and it got me dreaming about a place at the beach. I’d love LOVE to make that happen. So maybe I will!
My friend Libby came over on Friday and we played all day long. We walked and talked on the beach. We ate tacos at an outside place for lunch. We rented a golf cart and road all over the island. No street was left untouched. We pretended money was simply not a thing and dreamed about which house we’d buy. We stopped at this little store called Berts. They offer free coffee all day long. We met some friendly people that lived on the island including an architect that was building some amazing houses. We toured one in progress. It was just amazing. He had an eye for modern design that connected with the old structures he was replacing. We had the best wood burning stove burgers at this little shack of a place.
It was as if all our responsiblities had melted away with the sun.
Isn’t that the magic of summer. For a while we can just play.
