An Evening at the Dock Street Theatre in Charleston, SC

Saturday evening we had the great pleasure of attending an outstanding performance of A Christmas Carol presented by Charleston Stage at the historic Dock Street Theatre. This has become a much loved holiday tradition for our family, and one we hope to carry on for many years to come. Dock Street Theatre has the distinction of being America's first theatre, established in 1736, and is just one more reason to visit Charleston at the first possible opportunity. We all agreed that this year's performance was our all time favorite. The cast was amazing and the set was spectacular. And now, with the music still singing in my heart, I'm off to bed to dream of  Christmas ghosts, Tiny Tim, and all the blessings in my life~my family, friends, and loved ones! Merry Christmas everyone!  

The Nathaniel Russell House and Gardens (December, 2011) Charleston, SC

I volunteer as a docent at the Nathaniel Russell House in Charleston. Our halls are decked for the holidays and everything is so festive! The weather has been warm, sunny, and wonderful. You just can't resist a walk through the gardens. Follow along with me on a mini 'virtual vacation' and check out the surprises I found there today!

No matter the time of year you will always find something blooming in the Russell House gardens.

These pretty purple fellows just make me smile:-))

I found this little guy hard at work. I guess he doesn't get a Christmas vacation!

Thanks for taking a stroll through the gardens with me! Come visit us in Charleston and take a tour of this lovely home, enjoy the gardens, or relax on the joggling board. Wherever you are I hope you're having a safe and happy holiday season!
