We're here, we're healing, we're happy! Took us only 5 hours to go 76 miles of country roads. I think we drove through a time warp. I only made 3 stops and didn't even get lost, so no idea how it took me so long, but we're here at healing Hunting Island State Park in South Carolina. Yippee doodle doo!
Life is goof.

| Parris Island, South Carolina Parris Island has been the site of Marine Corps recruit training since Nov. 1, 1915. |
 |
| Moss and Marsh We're almost there! |
 |
| I backed into my campsite, plugged up the electric then walked to the beach. This was our first glimpse. It was high tide. |
 |
| Two cups of coffee then Harley and I headed for the beach Tuesday morning. The tide is going out. |
 |
| Harley (bottom of pic) met a new girlfriend (right). See that big circular mess in the sand? Harley ran circles round and round me about 3 dozen times to show off in an attempt to impress the new lady dog. As we were walking away, I snapped the pic of his handiwork. I had him on a 6 foot flexi-leash, I meant to take the 18 footer (oops) but undaunted, he settled for running in small circles. What a hoot! To say he loves the beach is an understatement. |

| Fresh off the boat shrimp! I cooked it in my wok. Today's Recipe: 1/2 cup water 1/4 cup red wine 2 tablespoons Old Bay Seasoning 1 tablespoon lemon juice 3 pounds jumbo fresh shrimp Bring first 4 ingredients to a boil Toss in shrimp Bring to a boil again Occasionally stir and toss shrimp Just as the shrimp begins to show signs of pink, turn off the heat, it will continue to cook Strain and serve Promptly refrigerate any leftovers |
 |
| Old Bay Seasoning for Seafood, Poultry, Salads & Meats, 6-Ounce Canister |
 |
| I've been cooking and eating dried beans all year long, drooling, daydreaming and saving up up for this bounty of fresh shrimp. Whenever I would get tired of cooking dried beans, I would close my eyes and focus on this dream. Today it came true! (Even today, blackeyed peas are simmering in the crockpot as I type this.) Dried beans have awesome health benefits and certainly far cheaper than meats but oh how I love lowcountry shrimp. |
