No matter where I’m living in the world or where I’m going, South Carolina will always be my favorite place.

The hubby also gets into the spirit of the South.  He helps my dad check the crab traps.

Luckily, we had a good amount of bounty — eight of ’em.  Fresh Charleston blues, ready for omelets, she-crab soup, crab cakes, crab salad…the list just goes on and on.

It’s good to be home.

Laurasays:

um. your family catches its own crab? off a dock, presumably behind your house? do they want another daughter? b/c i’m willing to move in next week. also, love the picture of hubby and your dad.

 
biscuitwheelssays:

Yup, family catches our own crab, oysters, clams, mussels, shrimp, fish — you name it! The dock is in our neighborhood and shared between all the families there. I think my parents have “adopted” a bunch of my sister’s friends by now — you can just join the posse!
