These were really tough choices:
Prince of Tides
Beach Music, both by Pat Conroy
Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil by John Berendt, also love the movie.
Voyager by Diana Gabaldon
Ghost Riders by Sharyn McCrumb

But like my music choices, these will probably change by tommorrow.

We went to Holden Beach NC two summers ago and loved it.

But anywhere between Wilmington NC and St Augustine FL.

At home;
Take it all in it's as big as it seems
Count all your blessings
Remember your dreams

At work:
With all of our running and all of our cunning
If we couldn't laugh, we would all go insane.

Just saw Jimmy inside in Charlotte for the first time. I think an inside concert is an experience that everyone should have. Listening to 20,000+ people singing with Jimmy is fantastic and ear-splitting. Both have good and bad points, but it is Jimmy. I have never been to a concert at the Schott, bu...

I have to brag about my husband -- you will see him at the tailgate, handing out beads to ladies from 2 to 102 and asking nothing in return, no demands for young ladies to show him anything. His reward - sharing the fun with everyone; now giving away beads gets him plenty of hugs and kisses, and bee...

Ilph, Thanks for the explanation. I'll admit that I am overly sensitive about kids being put down by adults. I see the impact of such treatment everyday in my job as a social worker. I admire your attitude toward kids.

Take Care, Terri

Maybe, I am missing something, but I fail to see the humor in laughing at children. Yes, I have similiar pictures hanging on my frig and I know how proud my grandchildren are of each and every one of the pictures.

If you are not opposed to E-Bay, then there are many Buffett mementos listed. That is how we decorated our Jimmy-themed porch. We also have pictures that we took at various tailgates framed, along with our ticket stubs.
Great memories of some great times!!

Hubby & I will be at Alpine. I started calling him Cougie (for obvious reasons), without realizing there was alreadly another Cougie, so we promoted my pirate to Capt Cougie.
