McIntosh Books in downtown Beaufort will host two fabulous literary events this month… and those are just the ones we know about!

First, Beaufort’s own Cassandra King will be reading from and signing her new novel, Moonrise.

Seafood is a favorite choice for a small and casual party. All three of the recipes in this issue are delicious and easy to prepare and two of them can be made the day before serving. It's easy to be a hostess! This is how we do it in the south.

Back-to-school is just beginning and I've already made several purchases at Staples and the campus bookstore for my college Freshman. My husband and I are gearing up mentally and fiscally for the "big shop" when our son purchases his text books for the first semester. We're ready; this is our second kid and we are old hands at this.

LET'S DO THE TIME WARP

Wednesday night in Habersham, the award-winning New Urban community on the banks of the Broad River, just outside of Beaufort. There is a time warp vibe to the place with its lush parks and greenways, sprawling oaks and front porches. Without the cars, the golf carts and a few modern amenities, it's easy to imagine oneself in the hometown idyll of post World War II America.
