Globe Trotting with Mallory and Clara

Shelter Island, NY

Sunday Funday!!!! The sun is glistening above the water wine glasses are filled with chilled Rose and the girls are doing the Happy Dance!!! Clara and Lilly are laughing with friends from the city NYC. Lilly has broken another heart and is now getting her flirt on at the Sunset Beach Resort. The energy is contagious as others join in on the Happy Dance. We are on the upstairs patio overlooking the water. Dancing and laughing, hands up in the air and feet swiveling. Where is Mallory? She is missing a great time. Must post lots of pics on Facebook for Mallory to see. She is in France with the family.

Lilly and I are feeling fabulous after our morning of shopping and beauty.  I am loving my new outfit, off one shoulder multi colored dress with matching orange sandals with a gold starfish, Gold hoops and a big cocktail ring.  Lilly is the opposite, long black halter dress, she looks stunning with diamond studs and lots of bangles on her arm. So happy Lilly has a place in Shelter Island, its good to have friends with houses in the Hamptons. As the sunsets, the brilliant colors of the sky are mesmerizing. Boats are anchored off the resort. It has been a glorious day on the patio. Now time for food. Off to Sweet Tomato’s where the locals go for some Prosecco and Italian.

We settle in at the bar and order mussels, pizza and prosecco. The laughter and great conversation continues.  Love, when you ask for your check and find out it has been taken care of. The very kind gentlemen next to us paid and invited us to join them the next day on their boat. Of course, we accept the invite.

Home after an amazing day! Blessed and grateful!!

Road Trip Anyone!!

The road is calling me. Load the cooler in the back seat, suitcase in the trunk and georgia belle wants to ride in the passenger seat. Our first big road trip was in late summer 2010, when we left Charleston heading for....destination unknown, seriously destination unknown. Do I head north to NYC or west to family and friends?????
Not sure so first stop Beaufort, South Carolina a short one and a half hours south. Stayed with a dear friend who has always been there for me when needed. Met him downtown Beaufort for some bubbles and good food to celebrate my BIG adventure!! Some would say I am a bit crazy to just take off without a plan. I say what have I got to lose. If things aren't working out and you have given it your all then sometimes its time to make a change for the better. Fear is what holds us back. It is important to make sure you aren't running from something. You have to face your challenges head on. Head held high always!!!!! Eye's on the road ahead!!! Great things are in front of you.
I love this phrase "Live Well, Laugh Often, Love Much" yes, I do believe that life is meant to be lived and enjoyed and yes I do laugh often, Give it a try, laughter can be contagious.

Well need to sign off for now. Will continue my story tomorrow.
