More Gardens of Charleston

The gardens in the ancient homes in the downtown Charleston are are just amazing. You could, and I have, spend hours just wandering around. Just lose yourself in the magic gardens.....

I am a Prince gal.......Do I even have any pics of me playing tennis? BRB........

Serena Williams

Venus and Serena Williams were both entered in the Family Circle Cup, but Venus withdrew because of injury. Serena was easily the crowd favorite all week. She is much "leaner" in person and is a fantastic athlete.

Ave Maria (Sharapova)

Our Day at the Masters-A Photo Story

Marine Corps Recruit Depot-Parris Island, SC

The Marine Corps is still attracting more than a few good men. On a recent trip to Parris Island with my brother-in-law Tony Matzen, a former Marine, and my sister, Mindy, we toured the base and watched the young recruits march and drill. It was VERY IMPRESSIVE! That particular day was graduation day for several platoons of new Marines, so the base was swarming with their families. Most of these Marines will see action in Iraq. God bless them....Semper Fidelis!
