General Back to School Sorry folks, I’ve had a busy summer with two sessions of Camp Grandma, a major birthday, don’t ask, and lots of travel.I noticed some school buses on the road this week and that can only mean one thing, it’s back to school time. I have fond memories of standing at the top of our driveway […]
General Official Start of Summer Memorial Day weekend is the official start of summer. In Charleston it means many things: Get to the beach early if you want a parking space. If you don’t start quickly at a red light you will get honked by someone from “off”. They don’t know our horns aren’t used in Charleston. It’s snake mating […]
General Easter Meet Passover My late husband was Catholic and I’m Jewish. Our children were raised Catholic, but I stayed true to my roots. We went to church on almost every Sunday. I felt worshiping as a family was the most important part and G-d doesn’t care where you prayed as long as you did. We usually spent Easter […]
General Happy Valentines Day! I was married for 46 years when my husband died. He still asked, “Do you love me?” Of course, I said yes. But after 46 years together was the love the same? Marriage and relationships change and so does love. Does any 20 something really know what love is and what that “love” they are […]
General Happy New Year! Happy New Year! Aren’t we happy to start a new year? Aren’t we hoping wearing masks will be a thing of the past? Well, maybe not right away but hopefully in 2022. As you may have figured out if you regularly read these blogs, one of us is the writer. Guilty as charged. It’s me, […]
General Thanksgiving 2021 Thanksgiving is a time of memories. Memories we have from the past and making new ones. I know Yvette celebrates with her family. How lucky she is to be born and bred in Charleston and be surrounded by family not just for holidays but all the time. Chari is not from Charleston, but she has […]
General October 2021 October is the “almost” month. It’s almost cool outside. It’s almost time to turn on the heat. It’s almost time for Thanksgiving. As children we looked forward to Halloween. As parents we were worried that our child might be sorry he/she chose the costume that they chose, and we worried we would run out of […]
General 2021 New Year As a Jewish person I have what I like to call a “do over”. I get to celebrate the new year and make resolutions twice. (My partners, Chari and Yvette are Christian.) This year as we approach the High Holy days which are Rosh Hashanah the Jewish New Year and Yom Kippur the Day of […]

General Summertime! This blog is taking a little “poetic license”. So much fun to think about what it was like to be a kid in the summer. Staying out until dark, catching fireflies, (I’m from up north.) and singing along with all the summer songs, like this one: Summer of 69′ Summer in Charleston may just be […]

Beach here we come.<\/p>\r\n<p>Last summer gardens were our salvation. We poured so much love into our gardens because be honest, there wasn’t […]
General “Happy Mother’s Day The month of May…who does not remember as a child knowing this was a special month. The end of school was fast approaching, and we were all trying to figure out what we would give our moms for Mother’s Day. In our younger years, we made crafts in school. Bowls from clay or flowers pressed […]
General Staging…what does it mean and how do you do it? When we go to visit a prospective seller and look around their home, we often use the word “staging.” Many buyers have no idea what that means. They understand de-clutter but what does staging mean to us, in real estate terms? In the words of our favorite stager, Lorelie Brown of Showhomes of Charleston: “Staging […]
General Spring Prep! Spring is finally here. After months of uncertainty and isolation it will feel so good to be out in the garden again. This winter was harsh for Charleston. Many of my plants were very frost bitten but I am happy to see my Azaleas getting ready to bloom. Here is a good spring “chore” list.Make […]
General Has COVID made you analyze your life? Has COVID made you analyze your life? Think about what is important and what can fall by the wayside? We all have our own stories to tell. The 3 of us have totally different backgrounds. You can read more about that on our website. As for me, if 70 is the new 50 I’m 50, […]
General “Make Your Dreams Come True Day Chari, Yvette, and I are quite different. Chari is a country girl from a farm in Georgia. Yvette was born and raised here in Charleston. I am from the East coast. Raised in and around cities. Chari still has one child of her 3 at home, Yvette’s boys are on their own and I am […]
General Christmas When my children were growing up, we celebrated all holidays, my Jewish ones and their and their Dad’s Catholic ones. They knew they were Catholic but also knew their Mother was Jewish. Christmas was a really big deal as it is in most homes with 3 young children. Because my Mother was Jewish she preferred […]
General 2020 Do-Over! If ever a new year required a “do over” 2020 is it. Do you realize that at 12:01 AM you will have 2020 hindsight? What does that hindsight tell you? The year was full of unexpected things? What things? A Pandemic, a loss of a friend or family member, a decreased income or none, claustrophobia […]

General What is COVID? What’s a COVID? How will we show property?  What about our listings?  What do we tell our sellers?  Can we have open houses?  Will photographers take pictures of our new listings?  If lenders are working from home can they still work efficiently? Will attorneys have their offices open?  Can we go to closings?  Will the […]
General “What Do You Think About During Quarantine? As we sit in quarantine or isolation, whatever your preferred term what are you thinking about?
