So it's been a week or so since my last post, due to the fact that I have been picking, shelling, freezing, canning, and pickling my butt off!! Hubby and I have a pretty big garden, and it all starting getting ready at one time! But I am caught up for now, so I thought I would blog while I can.
I think I mentioned in my first blog post, that I have really deep coastal and low country roots. And a big chunk of those roots is in Murrells Inlet, SC. I don't know if any of you have ever heard of Genevieve Chandler Peterkin " Sister Peterkin" as they called her in Murrells Inlet, but her mama , also named Genevieve, was my great aunt, on my grandmothers side. I had planned a trip to Murrells Inlet, to meet her, but I never got my chance. She passed away last September, and I was heartbroken that I would never get to meet her. But, I do have her book " Heaven is a beautiful place". She didn't write it, William Baldwin was the author, but the book is Genevieve's memoir. And it is like reading my own family history! I got it from the library a few months ago, but I wanted my own personal copy, so I purchased one from amazon, and I read it all over again. If you love the low country, Murrells Inlet, Myrtle Beach, or just SC in general, you will love this book! It is dripping with southern, low country charm, I totally recommend it!
