Welcome...I'm delighted that you chose to visit! I started this blog in March 2010 and I am so happy that I did. It has made me more aware of the many ways that God is blessing my life. I have made some special friends who bless,teach,encourage,and entertain me! My desire is to be an encouragement to you. I hope you will tarry for a while and that you will come back to visit often.

more local fare


As I mentioned in the last post, we stayed at the 
Hilton Head Beach and Tennis Resort.
We had  one bedroom condo...they called it a "villa"!
It was attractive, comfortable and had everything we needed.
An extra bonus was a guest journal on the coffee table.
Wach page had a place for your name, where you were from,
what the weather was like during your visit, and
how you spent your time.
Several folks mentioned that they had eaten at
 Hudson's (est. in 1967)...
"always a favorite" one said.
So, Friday night, since we like to try local places, 
we headed their way.
It is a simple place on the water...
nothing fancy but you have a view of the water
from every table.
We ordered our usual...fried shrimp.
They were large, butterfly, lightly breaded
and delicious. The hushpuppies were yummy, too.
They were busy, but we were in and out in an hour
 which was great since we had Little E along.
We agreed it was another happy discovery!

Another entry in the journal mentioned
Stellini's, an Italian restaurant opened in1989.
My girl is always up for Chicken Pamesan
and me...I'll take alfredo anytime!
We decided to eat early so we could have ice cream
later. Interestingly, it was on the same side street as the
Sea Shack (where we ate last time) snuggled into a lovely
stand of trees surrounded with flowers.
 We arrived just as they were opening their doors.




There were cloth tablecloths and napkins and candlelight.
And a lovely view of their gardens.
We were treated to delicious food, excellent attentive service,
and the early bird special!!
Little E loved it, too.
She ate some of our tortellini soup, salad, bread,
and parts of both of our entrees! 
And, again, we were in and out quickly...
a great thing when you have an active toddler to keep happy!
We were so very pleased, again, with both of our experiences!

Isn't our God creative in the ways He cares for us?
Anneliese shared yesterday about a pizza delivery driver
 coming to their rescue in Seattle, Judy shared about a secret
delivery of a special gift for her granddaughters, and Kim
told us about the baker giving the wedding cake to her daughter
as a gift instead of charging her for it.
Recommendations for excellent places to eat were
placed right in our hands...to make sure we would not miss them!

He is a kind and generous Father who delights in giving us
good gifts and caring for our every need.
Thank you Lord, for loving us so!

  2. I'm enjoying your HHI recap ... it's giving me my HHI fix until September. I've been trying to get DH to try Hudson's. He swears we ate there on our first trip to HHI and didn't like it, I insist that it was a now-closed seafood restaurant next door where we had that not-so-spectacular meal. And everyone seems to love Hudson's, so I want to try it. Maybe our trip this fall.
