Duke's Pit Stop

One entry on my "Worth The Drive" list: Dukes BBQ.

Other entries include: Carolina, herself, BBQ, itself and Carolina BBQ, in general- but my list is quite long, so let's just talk about Duke's today.

Here are a few snaps from our recent stop at the Walterboro location: 

I love silhouettes...especially of mossy trees:

It's mostly about the food: 

On the way in, we had encouraged Rye to take a "piggy back ride" but she only cautiously pet the piggy. She must have given it consideration throughout lunch though, because as we were leaving she asked to ride the piggy. Happy to oblige.

Canes

Tonight's game ends the season for Chandler's 15U Canes. Whew! 

The Best Part of Waking Up

As a general rule, I don't do selfies anymore. On this particular morning however, I wanted evidence that many a morning I wake to her feet in my face. Evidence for her journal..and for later. 

Of course, she's only helping me kick start my day. Besides, once she has completely conquered the bed-lands, and booted me from the territory, I can steal a few minutes of quiet time and coffee before the remaining risers stake their claim to my day.
