I can'€™t compute.

Nope. I cannot add, subtract, recall, apply, average, multiply, flip, dip or divide numbers higher than 25.

For the past year or so, every conversation I had with my friend Susan Shaffer started something like this:

"Hey, Margaret€ . . . when are you coming paddle boarding with me?"

"€œSoon, I hope. I really want to, but..."

This is my standard answer when anybody proposes I do anything new and semi-daunting. Especially if it requires standing upright on the Beaufort River in a bathing suit.

During the week of June 5 - 9, stroll through lovely gardens at The Beaufort Garden Club's 23rd annual Garden-A-Day. This event allows visitors to enjoy the beauty of a different private garden each day. It is FREE and open to the public. Enjoy peach tea and homemade cookies provided by the Club as you meander. Master Gardeners from the area are there to answer questions and offer advice.
