WHEE! I am sitting on the third floor of the Harbor Town Yacht Club in a lovely suite with its own balcony looking out over Calibogue Sound. How fortunate I am to have a brother who lives right across the harbor and provides such wonderful hosting whenever I am here. This weekend will be especially special since friends Harriet and Ed and their family are here on a winter break vacation from Albany, NY. The temperature this morning is 69 - a beautiful day is beginning - even shorts weather! Harriet and I have traveled together several times and our families have been friends for over fifty years. What a joy! Last evening Jim and Anne took me and Frank to the Quarter Deck here right beside the lighthouse. I somehow or another had never eaten there before and, of course, the food was very good. Like Atlanta, it is difficult to eat in any restaurant that doesn't serve very good food - a real treat for a Ninety Six resident!....but the most important benefit is the atmosphere, the energy of being "beside the sea."....As a child, my favorite poem began, "When I was down beside the sea, a wooden spade they gave to me, to dig the sandy shore." I've forgotten the rest.
