Happy Sunday! It’s been a pretty rejuvenating weekend. Yesterday was a cozy, rainy day in Charleston. Maybelle and I started the day with a long walk before the rain started and then we nestled in with a great book, some work, and some football. I had something every single night last week Monday – Friday so it was great to stay in yesterday.
Today, we’re going to go walk through our house (we’re getting close to moving in!) and then my mom and I are going to an author talk with Karen White put on by the Charleston Library Society. I’m excited! What else? I’ve been to a few autumn dinner parties at friends’ houses the past two weeks, which has been lovely! Along with the rest of America, Edwin and I watched The Politician on Netflix and loved it. It’s so campy and fun. Anything with GP or Lucy Boynton has my vote!
