I am a conservative married gal who would love getting caught in the rain if we ever had any around here. I eat a Tex-Mex combo plate every weekend, and I believe high ceilings allow for creativity and breathing room. A super huge amount of these photos come from the vault of yearbooks I’ve collected over the decades. If you need more details, let me know. However, all sanceau photos been taken by me and are © Sanceau. They cannot be reused, adapted or republished without permission. I know you wouldn’t do that anyway. 🙂
Ross Dress For Less ROCKS! I was so in love with that shop when I discovered it whilst on holidays in Santa Barbara, CA.

You’re welcome and thanks as well. I want to get to the Carolinas one day. We can’t afford to fly and it’s so long to drive, but each time I read my “Southern Living,” there are so many things that look appealing there. It seems like every picture I enjoy is in Charleston. We just left a church talk on fitness, so I am drooling over the thought of shrimp and grits! Enjoy your sunshine!

SKIPPY! SKIPPY! Excuse me Kerbey, have you seen Skippy? I was over at chez Ned and he said that Skippy had come over here to visit you. Has he arrived yet? That darned little rabid squirrel is hard to catch (as a Canadian, I think she is a beaver but Ned says Skippy is too sensitive to ask her).
Ha! Ned speaks highly of you Kerby so I figured I’d drop by and say Hello.I’m just a commenter – no blog of my own yet – so I’m low maintenance. Verbosity can be an issue with me, so don’t hesitate to tell me to tone it down if I have too much to say. I’m looking forward to reading your blog. If you see comments pop up from posts earlier this year, no need to curse WordPress, it’s just me patently perusing past posts of particular perspicacity. Ha!
