Charleston Love

Timing is everything.

I don't read much of the Washington Post

 but happened to see this mid- July.

Food review and a don't miss in Charleston, SC.

Thank you very much- 

we were headed there the next day.

Rodney Scott won the 

James Beard Award in May 2018

 for the Best Chef in the Southeast.

No small feat.

So- is this destination dining?

If so, it was pretty great.

Small place, packed house.

Had to juggle to grab seating inside.

Everything outside captured the

 smell of the meats
 in the smoke house out back.

Right next door is a 3 floor 

Art Supply paradise.

Artist and Craftsman Supply Uptown

Also worth the stop to browse.

 A city of crape myrtles, 

white painted bricks and black shutters.

 Pink building, wrought iron, 

and pink mandevilla.

Always a winner.

So when you have a grandson 

named after this iconic city 

you have to check out some of the local lore.

We were in town for the 

Ordination and Installation of a new pastor-

Rev. Adam Kosberg and Sonja 

at Calvary Lutheran in Charleston, Virginia.

 We shared a great meal at High Cotton

 in downtown Charleston, SC.

A wonderful relaxing weekend hosted

 by Rev. Ed and Susan Grant.

Thank you very much!

A souvenir that just

 had to come home with us.

Good-bye Charleston-

till we see you again.
