Kate and Matt joined us for Easter weekend. What a glorious time we had from start to finish. Friday evening our young neighbor Dan who served in Afganistan, threw a benefit party for a fallen comrade. With all the heartfelt flourish he spread around that night, Dan raised almost $3K for a Citadel scholarship for the younger brother of the hero. It was a terrific affair, attended by all the folks that live at 164 Wentworth, and an impressive guest list. We topped off the night with a trip to Tommy Condon’s Irish Pub for a glass of Guinness and a plate of spuds. Sat. was spent relaxed and casual as we biked our way around town meandering through neighborhoods. They shopped and we napped later in the day. It took all the urging I could muster to get everyone up and going again for sunset drinks on the Vendue rooftop…but all agreed it was worth it. Dinner at Cru was…oh, so fine. It was another culinary delight. I don’t think we even finished our beers at The Blind Tiger, but we did make an appearance. I’d been teased unmercifully about wanting to go there (really it was just to show Kate and Matt) but they wouldn’t let it go. So, we went.
Easter Sunday was a highlight for all of us. We decided to forgo church and celebrate the morning at the peak of the Cooper River Bridge. I delighted in walking the almost 3 miles on that glorious Easter morning flanked by folks I love. It was a memorable moment.
This is truly the good life and I am so grateful.
