On Saturday morning, my neice Olivia was getting ready for her first dance recital. She was wearing her first makeup and knee high hose and looked too adorable in her sailor outfit. The dance recital was inspired by the Disney movie, The Little Mermaid and the stage at Wando High School was about to be filled with fish and mermaids and sailors and most anything else that could be found on or under the ocean. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but Olivia and all the students at the Tapio dance school in Mt. Pleasant really did themselves proud.
I spent part of Mothers' Day weekend, down on Kiawah Island for an intimate and beautiful wedding.
Surrounded by a close knit group of family and friends and with weather that was made to order, Tara and Rich exchanged vows.
Here's a couple of pictures of the happy couple with many more to come.
Enjoy!
Last Friday the Humane Society held a benefit to raise money. Most folks know that the local Humane Society works to address animal welfare/cruelty issues, have a great reduced fee spay and neuter program, works with Harvest Hope Food Bank to provide pet food to pet owning clients and are just an all around great group.
The Millstone at Adams Pond played host to the fundraiser which had a performance by Elvis, aka Phil Urban, great food and some very cool silent auction items, including some photos that I made of some of the Arabian horses that were rescued last year and a pit bull named Pacino, who was used as a "bait" dog for dog fighting. The photos raised almost $500.00, I'll have to wait to hear a total of what was raised, but some of the other items that were donated were doggie goodies from 3 Dog Bakery, a week long getaway in Gatlinburg, Tenn., gym memberships, belly dancing lessons, jewerly, Blue Sky prints and so much more!
If you missed the auction but still want to donate, you can. Just check out their website at www.humanesc.org and you can also get information on the programs they offer.
More dogs, I know but I really can't help it.
A little while ago my friend and fantastic massage therapist Pat McGovern, and I were sharing a cool drink on her patio and I couldn't help but make a few photos of her friends. That would include Faith the wonder dog and her older companion Moe, yes thats Faith giving Moe a little kiss when Moe got a little tuckered out, and her neighbor Sophie. It was a great afternoon hanging out and catching up.
If your looking for a good massage, and lets face it these days who isn't!!!! You need to check out Forest Acres Massage Therapy, give Pat a call at (803) 738-0098.
