NOTES FROM THE EDITOR Wow what a summer! Can you believe it is already July! Get out of the heat, take a deep breath, sit back and get ready for a good read!

At the heart of the July issue is recognizing that Colleton River Club and Bluffton are hosting the USGA Junior Amateur Golf Championship. What a spectacular place and what wonderful photos Colleton has provided us for your enjoyment. The eyes of the golf world will be on us. These young men all come to Bluffton with a dream...to walk away with their name engraved on the silver bowl next to some of the greatest players of the game. We apologize to the nongolfers, but to the scholars of the game we have included a bit of golf history, junior golf records, and trivia. Golfers beware, Amber Hester Kuehn has included a small piece on all the critters you will find on the course. Fun! Kelly Dillon, our magnum cum laudi from College of Charleston (my mom always told me I graduated thank the laudi) has given us a patriotic piece on the making of “The Symbol of Freedom”. Also look for a nice page of pictures of our flag and fireworks taken around town, some sent to us by our readers. Is your flag flying?

Now for the wine enthusiasts we failed to mention that our writer, sommelier, multi-linguist and world traveler, Michael Mavrogorato, is on an extended jaunt with his wife. There is only one small problem, he is in Scotland, so get ready for some good single malt and rye whisky stories upon his return. Hurry home Mavro, we miss you!

Hug your kids! Life is so busy and often times so stressful at work that you tend to forget your blessings. Gene Cashman has included a nice piece that reminds you not to walk out the door without telling your children and wife how much you love them. This little story is good advice about family life for us all.

We have found that many more people have discovered our little gem and are taking stacks to Hilton Head and Savannah....we love to spread the Breeze. For you Breeze lovers, we are happy to let you know that as we have increased our distribution and our printing so there are more magazines to go around. Don’t forget to take some to your elderly friends and please support our advertisers, as they are the ones that make this happen.

Thanks and God Bless Randolph Stewart

The Symbol of Freedom B Y :

or over 120 years, the Statue of Liberty has long since stood as America’s symbol for freedom, hope, and unity. To Americans, she represented their country’s past and the pride of their country’s standards. To others, such as immigrants coming into the United States, her massive green frame and outstretched torch promised a new life and symbolized hope, and she provided a legendary welcome into the choppy harbors of a new continent. One Greek immigrant recollected that his first thoughts when seeing the statue were: “Lady, you’re such a beautiful!... You opened your arms and you get all the foreigners here. Give me a chance to prove that I am worth it, to do something, to be someone in America.”

But while she came to be a massive symbol for America, the road to her construction began as a rocky, but genuine one. The idea of a statue is thought to be first proposed

by Edouard de Laboulaye, president of the French AntiSlavery Society. Enthralled at the Union’s victory in the

Even the tablet Liberty carries is inscribed with the date of America’s Independence Day. Finally, in 1871, Bartholdi visited the United States and chose the statue’s home: Bedloe’s Island in New York,

The idea of a statue is thought to be first proposed by Edouard de Laboulaye, president of the French Anti-Slavery Society. Enthralled at the Union’s victory in the Civil War and abolition of slavery, Laboulaye proposed that France gift the United States with a legendary statue to celebrate its victory for freedom.

Civil War and abolition of slavery, Laboulaye proposed that France gift the United States with a legendary statue to celebrate its victory for freedom. The French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi was inspired

by Laboulaye’s idea and began the draft work for the famed piece. He wanted to make the statue into one that exemplified America’s promises of freedom, a key element of America and its history – and Bartholdi was very careful to make every piece of the statue symbolic of freedom in all respects. For example, the very woman in the statue is based on Libertas, the Roman goddess of liberty. Around her feet lie broken chains, symbolizing her freedom from oppression, and her crown has seven rays, each representing the seven seas and the seven continents, signaling a sense of connection and unity.

or what is now known today as Liberty Island.

While the president at the time, Ulysses S. Grant, promised that the island would be easy to mount the statue, the hard part of the journey came with funding.

In September 1875, Laboulaye announced the plan of the statue to the public and gave it its initial name: “La Liberté Éclairant le Monde” or “Liberty Enlightening the World.” The United States agreed to build the pedestal for the statue while France tried to rally enough money from for the statue itself. In the New York newspaper “The World,” journalists announced that $102,000 had been raised, and that 80% of the sum had been given in less than one dollar – and thus the statue was funded by the elite and even more by the common people.

THE SYMBOL OF FREEDOM

Funding was reached and, beginning in 1876 in Paris, the copper was bent, hammered, and sculpted into the statue standing today.

The sheets of copper were so thin that they were less than the thickness of two pennies, and once it was carefully built in France, the pieces were disassembled and placed in the ship Isère, which reached the US on June 17th, 1885. Unfortunately, the pedestal for the statue wasn’t completed until a year later in 1886, but once completed, the Statue of Liberty was quickly erected – and there she remains, her fame as tangible as ever, though some changes have been made. The natural one is that of her color; she was originally a shiny copper shade, and over time, the natural weathering of copper – called patina – made it the light green it’s known for today.

The torch, however, is one man-made modification. In 1984, the original torch was replaced with a copper one covered in sheets of 24 karat gold leaf to reflect the sunlight.

All in all, once erected upon Liberty Island, the Statue of Liberty grew into an immediate symbol – not only of America, but of the shining beacon of freedom the country offered to those in need, and to promise a country where its people came first.

Summer Beauty Fixes

By: Anna Pepper Hewett Co-Owner of Gigis’

Read on for solutions to your most common Summer beauty emergencies. These tips will help you feel confident again and bring your sexy back.

7. Oily roots, but dry ends - what’s up?!? Hate how the humidity can end up making your hair oily at your roots, but dry on the ends? When shampooing try focusing on your scalp area only and focus your conditioner only on the ends, You can also try using Aveda Pure Abundance Hair Potion. The powder formula turns into a light cream and degreases the roots while taming ends.

8. Raccoon Eyes - how to avoid the sunglasses tan. First things first, don’t forget to sue sunscreen. But if you still end up looking like a deer in headlights, try mixing a drop of liquid bronzer with your eye cream. Blend that around your eyes. You can also use natural/brown eye shadow to help balance.

1. Itchy Bug Bites - try Listerine! Dab some Listerine onto bug bites to temporarily relieve the itch. The combination of mint and alcohol creates a cooling effect so you won’t have to scratch.

2. Shrink puffy eyes - with spoons! Looking like you’re awake Monday morning can be rather difficult after a big weekend. To shrink puffy, swollen eyes try holding a frozen spoon under your eyes for a few minutes. The cold metal will help soothe swelling and speed up your circulation.

3. Ingrown hair - scrub, scrub, scrub! If you feel like you are trapped in a nightmarish game of connect the dots, try scrubbing those little red bumps with a salicylic acid scrub. This will help remove the dead skin cells and control the oil production that a can overproduce in the summer time. Then follow up with Bliss Ingrown Hair Eliminating Peeling Pads, which will help keep that skin soft and an ingrown free zone.

4. Soothe Sunburn - with green tea! What do you do when you get crispy fried and are supposed to go to dinner that night? To avoid people making jokes or comments about your red lobster face, try dampening some green tea bags with cold water and placing them on your burned areas. This will help diminish redness and inflammation.

Pheww!

5. Lotion makes me sweat! - Hate the way your skin feels like a slip and slide when you step outside? Try a different kind of lotion-like bother Biothem Biopur Mattifying Fluid. It still keeps your skin looking hydrated, but not greasy.

6. Hide Spider Veins - with self tanner! Try using a tinted self-tanner that contains a light-reflecting bronzer to minimize the appearance of red and/or blue veins. Make sure to apply evenly.

9. I’m more that glistening - help!! You expect to perspire a bit, but when it’s so hot outside you can’t help but do a special dance when you’re walking to down play your stains, that’s a problem. Try using an aerosol antiperspirant to help control sweating in embarrassing areas like between your boobs and thighs. An aerosol antiperspirant will leave skin not feeling sticking or look chalky. You can also try using bath powder or baby powder.

10. Frizzy hair - To avoid looking like you just put your finger in an electric socket, begin your routine by applying silicone hair serum to wet hair. Remove excess water by blotting hair (not rubbing) with a towel. Next, apply a smoothing balm or strong-hold gel to strands.

Dry as normal, then finish by smoothing hair cream over ends to tame frizz. I recommend getting the Brazilian Blowout done if this is a reoccurring issue. The process (which is now offered in lots of salons) is totally worth it! Just make sure it is the Brazilian Blowout and/or is formaldehyde free.

11. Makeup is sweating off - To keep makeup in place, start by using a primer (I love Laura Mercier’s) after your lotion and before your foundation. If creates a barrier between your face and makeup, preventing this problem.

The Water Around Us By: Jean Tanner

You can leave home on a vacation to other parts of the country, but home never leaves you. Living in our area surrounded by salt water rivers and creeks over decades of years the odor of pluff mud sort of permeates our bones like the brine a pickle soaks up. No matter how far you travel when re-entering the low country and crossing the county line the scent of salt air and mud seeps through your body like a warm blanket to welcome you home.

Some new-comers to the area find the odor a mite obnoxious, but for us sand-lappers born and reared here, it smells like our own little piece of heaven; surely heaven ‘has’ to have a little scent of pluff mud!

Having lived here all of my life, the river and especially Stoney Creek, a half mile across the road has played a large part in it. Although hours spent on the river have been joyous as well as providing sumptuous, delicious seafood dishes from its depths, there also have been a few “scary” times.

A couple of those times come to mind instantly, like my first ‘dunking’ (and not by baptism) that happened when I was about three years old. My two siblings and I had gone with our daddy, Jesse Simmons, and his brother, Uncle Harold along with a friend Aaron O’Quinn on a short casting trip for mullet in Stoney Creek on low tide. We young’uns were sitting on the seat at the back of the boat dangling our bare feet in the cool water on a hot summer day. Remember now, this was 1943, long before the required use of life jackets, and gas motors for boats were few and far between, mainly reserved for the well-to-do.

With daddy casting from the bow of the boat and the other two men using oars to paddle, you might know, little wiggle-tail Jean had to lean over to trail her fingers in the water and “ka-ploosh” in the river I went. My sister screamed and tried pulling me out but my thin summer dress tore with every grab she made, but then

Aaron O’Quinn came to my rescue and fished me out to dry.

The other time recalled was around 1968 when two of my young sons and I went with daddy shrimping. We slid the aluminum boat from the landing at Stoney Creek and gliding along with the going out tide and after daddy started his ‘now-acquired’ 9HP motor moseyed on down the river until he came to the spot he wanted to cast one of his own hand made nets. He was catching shrimp and things were moving right along fine until one of those sudden summer squalls came out of nowhere with thunder and lightning. Time to head for dry land!

When daddy pulled the rope to start the motor there was no spark, not even a sputter. By then the rain was really coming down and with the boys huddled together under the bow of the boat daddy and I started our journey back to the landing, he, with one oar and me with the other. Now, we were going against the tide with rain that felt as sharp as needles slamming against our faces.

It was a nerve racking, long endured trip back to the landing with lightning flashing around us in a metal boat amid cracks of thunder. Finally, pulling the boat up on the mud, with blood-shot eyes from the stinging rain and drenched to the skin, putting our feet on solid ground was a much-felt blessing! The older of the two sons confessed later by saying, “Mama, that’s the most I ever prayed in my life that we wouldn’t get hit by lightning!” A good lesson learned because even now ‘til this day when out in his own boat at the first sign of bad weather approaching he pulls anchor and heads back to the public boat ramp.

So, with a little respect of ‘Mother Nature” and safe boating measures required by law to abide by, one can foresee many years of enjoyment on our low country rivers with their special “scent-of-pluff mud”!

Every weekend, thousands of junior golfers have their folks drop them off at the local golf course. Baggy shorts, dirty socks sagging around their old tennis shoes, their favorite logo golf shirt.. not pressed, five bucks in their bag for lunch, their dads old clubs slung over their shoulder almost dragging on the ground, with all the used balls their bag can hold....playing until you get picked up . Each one with a dream. Win the US Junior Amateur Championship. Well, here it comes. The extrodianary Colleton River Club Pete Dye Course in Bluffton, SC, is host this year. After making it through the qualifying round with thousands of other juniors they have arrived. Who will be the next champion? Who will have their name engraved on the trophy next to so many golfing greats? And to the participants.....Why not you!

Records

The Junior Amateur is among the most difficult of all USGA championships to win, because of two factors: the age limit and the tremendous number of fine young players who enter each year.

It is the only USGA Championship for which Jack Nicklaus has been eligible that he did not win at least once. Nicklaus qualified for the championship five times. His best finish came in 1956 when he was a semifinalist.

AJGA Alumni on the PGA TOUR include: Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods, Stewart Cink, Bob Estes, Keegan Bradley, Bill Haas, Steve Marino, Jim Furyk, Sergio Garcia, Lucas Glover, J.B. Holmes, Charles Howell III, Matt Kuchar, Dustin Johnson, Justin Leonard, Davis Love III, Hunter Mahan, Joe Ogilvie, Sean O’Hair, David Toms, Bubba Watson, Rickie Fowler and Scott Verplank

Golf Trivia

The Dye Course will be the second-longest in U.S. Junior Amateur history Actuaries have calculated the chance of an average golfer making a hole in one at approximately 12,500 to 1, the odds of a tour professional at 2,500 to 1.

The chance of two holes in one in a single round are approx 67 million to 1.

The longest golf course in the world is the International Golf Club in Massachusetts. It is a par 77 course measuring 8325 yards.

The Lowest Score for a round of golf in the world is a 57. Wayne Meyers was the hero at Southern Oaks in Powdersville, South Carolina, in 1994.

In 2006, Russian astronaut Mijail Tiurin was the first person to drive a golf ball in space.

In 1457 King James II banned golf in Scotland because they distracted military personnel from pursuing archery, more suited to their profession.

The Gentlemen Golfers of Leith (1744) is considered to be the first official golf club.

St Andrew’s has had the greatest effect on the origin of golf. It’s course was initially built with 22 holes but these were later reduced to 18. New courses followed suit and it became the standard.

At St Andrews the hole was set at 4.5 inches, was copied by other golf courses.

Tom Morris, a successful Scottish professional golfer, was a pioneer in course design in the 19th Century, is credited with inventing the first dogleg.

Golf is often considered related to the Belgian game Chole and the Dutch game Kolven. Both are stick and ball games but you do not have to get the ball into a hole in either the real golf challenge.

There are 336 dimples on a regulation golf ball.

By 1900 there were more than 1000 golf clubs in the US. Golf clubheads were made of beech or the wood of fruit trees such as apples.

20 www.blufftonbreeze.com

Scottish Golf History records King James IV as the first recorded monarch to have purchased golf clubs Golf club shafts were originally made of hazel or ash wood.

125,000 golf balls a year are hit into the water at the famous 17th hole of the Stadium Course at Sawgrass (pictured).

The chances of making two holes-in-one in a round of golf are one in 67 million.

Tiger Woods snagged his first ace at the tender age of eight years old.

Balls travel further on hot days. A golfer swinging a club at 100 mph will carry the driver up to eight yards longer for each increase in air temperature of 25°F. The highest golf course in the world is the Tactu Golf Club in Morococha, Peru, which sits 14,335 feet above sea level at its lowest point.

The origin of golf term ‘Caddie’ comes from Mary Queen of Scots use of French cadets to help her play while she studied there.

The longest golf hole in the world is the 7th hole (par 7) of the Sano Course at the Satsuki Golf Club in Japan. It measures an incredible 909 yards.

The largest bunker in the world is Hell’s Half Acre on the 585-yard 7th hole of the Pine Valley Course in New Jersey.

The largest golfing green is that of the 695-yard, 5th hole, a par 6 at the International Golf Club in Massachusetts, an area in excess of 28,000 square feet.

The first golf balls, used until 1848, were made of thin leather stuffed with feathers. Tightly-packed feathers made balls that flew the farthest.

The youngest golfer to shoot a hole-in-one was Coby Orr, who was five years old at the time. It happened in Littleton, Colorado, in 1975.

Golf was banned in Scotland from 1457 to 1502 to ensure citizens wouldn’t waste time when preparing for an English invasion.

The term birdie comes from American Ab Smith, playing 1899, he played what he described as a “bird of a shot”, which became “birdie” over time.

Criters, of (the) Course…

BY AMBER HESTER KUEHN Animals are highly adaptive and may surprise you with their ability to make do with the “curve balls”, or should I say the “fade” that we inadvertently aim at them. I am not a golfer, but if you grew up here, a golf course is as familiar as white on rice. They can be found in gated communities, resort properties and some are open to the public. You can see them from the road, the river, and commonly your back porch. From a conservation standpoint, I will take a golf course over a parking lot any day…

AMERICAN ALLIGATOR Typically, Lowcountry topography is low in elevation with swamp, a natural fresh water retention. The American alligator called the swamp home until development eliminated many of these wetland habitats. A substitute can be found on the golf courses in the many ponds, man-made holes carefully placed to capture the fresh water run-off resulting from irrigation of the green. These reptiles are very territorial with each other and maternal instincts are strong, but otherwise unlikely to be interested in golfers. Prey tends to be in the < 20 pound size range. They can be seen basking in the sun to warm their cold-blooded bodies and plunging into the lagoon to cool off if they get too hot. Courtship is complex; mating season begins in May in South Carolina when the familiar “bellow” (male mating call) can be heard. Eggs are laid in June and July and incubate for approximately 65 days. It is not wise to approach an alligator. They may think that you are threatening their young. If the golf ball splashes this month, I’d say “let it go”.

22 www.blufftonbreeze.com

SOUTHERN FOX SQUIRREL If you have never seen this small mammal, you will think to yourself...”Now that’s something you don’t see every day”. It is significantly larger than the gray squirrel (the one that is everywhere) and usually grey or black overall with a black mask and white patches, paws, and tips. They tend to hang around pine tree stands, but also in the vicinity of live oak trees in season. They feed on acorns, nuts, flower buds, roots, mushrooms, fleshy fruits, bird eggs, insects, etc… opportunistic for sure. They spend more time on the ground than in the trees and are very visible as their dark bodies lope over the freshly cut grass on the golf course. These woodland creatures will put a smile on your face and should not hinder your birdie.

IS THIS WHERE YOU ASK FOR GATOR RELIEF?

AMERICAN BALD EAGLE The bald eagle is the only eagle unique to North America. In 2007, the bald eagle came off the endangered species list after 40 years of recovery. Their wing span is six to eight feet and they may live for 30 years. Pairs mate for life, constructing enormous nests (six feet in diameter), returning each season to lay up to three eggs. Most of the plantations in Bluffton have bald eagle nests and residents monitor their activity, reporting to the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. Golf courses are a great hunting ground with open spaces and ponds full of fish, but rather than hunt, they will often steal food from basically any other animal including river otters, pelicans, and osprey. Besides providing a majestic distraction, the bald eagle will not interfere with your game. Your ball is most likely below their flight path.

GREAT BLUE HERON The great blue heron is the largest wading bird in the Lowcountry. It is happy to hunt for fish in the salt marsh estuary, but can be observed at freshwater ponds just as frequently. Their diet ranges from minnows to baby alligators, frogs, and rats. Sometimes their eyes are too big for their skinny throat…bad choices. Pairs are monogamous for a season and produce up to six eggs in the spring. Their wingspan is six feet, rivaling that of the bald eagle, but only weighing in at six pounds. Equally as majestic, the great blue heron will delight you until it speaks, emitting an unexpected screech, giving your opponent an edge as you flinch during your swing.

WHITE-TAILED DEER If you are on the course early enough, you may catch a glimpse of the deer moving over the green. They are herbivorous and are in search of tender plants that nearby residents bought from Home Depot. They would have naturally come to the swamp to drink, but now may find freshwater on the golf courses. Their nocturnal behavior results from human avoidance. You may see their hoof marks in the morning dew on a humid day in the Lowcountry…which is just about every day. They are “light on their feet” and usually do not leave divots unless something is chasing them. They refuse to use the cart paths…after all, they have been the official South Carolina state animal since 1972.

Despite our efforts to alter the landscape, we will hopefully continue to accommodate the basic needs of the wildlife indigenous to this area. They are just as much a part of the Lowcountry as the Spanish moss, a southern drawl, and The on Bluffton Breeze withJULY 2015 23 sweet iced tea. If possible, go light the fireworks them in mind. Happy Fourth of July Y’all!

*Ratings for the longest tees

Course Notes The East course wanders through lakes and ponds and is very walkable. The West Course has subtle beauty with gnarled oaks, and sparkling lagoons.

The North Course is a marvel of tranquil lakes, bold fairways and challenging bunkers. The South Course offers a classic parkland golf experience.

A timeless golf experience nestled within a landscape of ancient, mossy live oaks and long-leaf pine forests.

Park and links settings for two of Golf Magazine’s top 100 courses. Pete Dye said it’s “the best I’ve ever built”. Home to the USGA Junior Amateur in 2015.

Generous fairways but challenging elevated greens. Beach bunkers create an island experience. Water holes and huge oaks. Great golf for great value.

Neither too long nor overly difficult with interesting boldly contoured greens.

The course is routed through pines, oaks and native coastal wetlands.

Relatively new, this links style golf course is well cared for and has generous fairways with challenging undulated greens.

A collaboration between two designers this course is well accessible in every way. Enjoy the challenging final hole flanked by a marsh and elevated green.

In the beautiful Palmetto Bluff compound, the course meanders through the May River Forest. Bermuda greens with undulating slopes are challenging.

The “Devil’s Elbow” courses are lined by magnificent oaks and tall pines as well as salt marshes that change with the tides. Good for all levels of golf.

The scenic design of Island West, with rolling fairways, elevated tees, preserved natural marsh areas, and large live oaks presents a magnificent experience.

The Audubon Certified course runs through canopies of live oaks, broad savannahs and soaring pines up to the banks of the Okatie River.

Rolls from an open pasture to dense forests, and views towards Hilton Head.

Most holes are surrounded by nature and the course has a lot of character.

Features tall pines, many challenging water hazards and picturesque holes.

It has a good practice facility and is a good value.

The course is enveloped in a peaceful setting of trees and blue lakes. It is well designed to be player friendly yet holds its challenges on the back nine.

Okatie Creek lets the casual golfer enjoy golf, while Hidden Cyprus offers greater challenges. Both courses capture the magic of low country beauty.

Do you here the heart In my quiet Do you here the quiet In my heart It dances It dances To the sunlight Filtering through lush leaves It sees the sparkle Reflecting from fresh blooms We wait We wait Until nature rewards us With the halcyon day And as always It is more than we imagined Do you hear my heart sing Do you here my singing heart It’s living in The clear and perfect breeze

Silence. Quiet.

Time to listen, listen, listen.

Each day the same.

Each day different.

Another breath.

Play More, Worry Less.

Life to be Thankful For

Life is so busy and often times so stressful that I tend to forget the blessings. Take for instance an occasion last Friday.

It was a beautiful day outside. Now, it was hotter than most and more humid than I remember summer being this time of year, but it was still a delight to be outdoors in the sunshine. I was home from a long day of work, slumped in one of those green plastic Adirondack chairs Lowe’s sells in bulk.

In the yard before me were my children playing in a plastic inflatable pool. They were loudly playing, as happy children should do, laughing as they splashed each other. For whatever reason, it caught a nerve. I turned and barked at them to “keep it down!” They looked at me as if I had lost my mind. Perhaps I had. “Don’t give me a disrespectful look” I shot back at their disbelieving faces “or it’s an early bedtime for you!” They slunk down in the pool and resumed playing, albeit a little more softly. I turned back to my I-Phone checking a few more messages from the work day.

Consider the rest of that weekend. It was the next day, a Saturday. The children were finishing up lunch and jumping down from the table one by one. My son, Knox, dropped his yogurt container on the floor as he lept from his chair and kicked at it. It went tumbling and spinning across the room as did all of the uneaten yogurt. Not terribly abnormal for a five year old. “Hey” I said in a strong tone “What do you think you are doing? Respect this house and yourself. Don’t

36 www.blufftonbreeze.com

By: Gene Cashman throw your trash on the floor!” The words may seem like I was in a teaching moment, but the tone was like a Marine drill sergeant. The tone did not fit the offense. Then there was Sunday. Our eight month old puppy happily jumped up to greet me. In one fell swoop I grabbed her by the collar, gave her the meanest and most menacing look imaginable and walked her to the kennel, slamming the door. She looked up at me wounded and confused.

“Enough!” growled my wife as she pointed toward me with a large wooden spoon as a pot of spaghetti boiled over on the stove.

“You have been a menace all weekend.” I stared at the floor. I knew that she was right. She shifted her weight and intensified her stare “what in the world is robbing you of joy?”

The pot of water continued to boil over. I cut my eyes from hers and to the pot. “Not this time buster” she said recapturing my focus “we’re going to get to the bottom of this.” I sat down next to the stove. “You have got the patience of a gnat. You have been in the same room with us all weekend, but mentally miles away. What gives?”

“You know” she continued after I failed to answer “you were reserved and distant at the dinner Friday. You bit everyone’s head off all day Saturday and all the kids have asked me today why you are so grouchy.” Getting called out for being distant, impatient and rude is never an enjoyable thing. It’s not so much getting called out, but more so the realization

that you’ve squandered how many ever days’ worth of time you’ve acted so dastardly. In my case I’d wasted a weekend’s worth of precious time with family and friends. I shrugged my shoulders and stared at a spot on the wall. “I suppose” I said softly and slightly perplexed as to why I had been so full of angst “I have been selfish and ungrateful because...”

I simply could not articulate the issue. “Humph” she said as she turned back towards dinner.

That evening I sat outside in the dark and listened to the sprinklers water the grass. It thundered in the distance signaling a coming storm. “Figures” I said aloud, “it would rain the night I let the water run for an hour.” In all the same instant I felt a pressing in my head. It must have been the grouchy devil from one shoulder fighting the common sense angel on the other. I sat back down and in frustration and aggravation felt a lump form in my throat. I was tired. No, not sleepy just tired.

There was too much work, too much responsibility and too much to do; poor me, right? I stood up and shook it off. I was over being negative, snarky and selfish. There was so much for me to be grateful for. I walked back in the dark house and went to each of my children’s rooms and kissed them, making sure they were tucked in safe and sound. I even spent a few minutes scratching our puppy’s tummy; which thrilled her so much she wet the rug. I bite my tongue. Finally, I made my way, guided by lightening, to my bedroom.

“You still awake?” She sat up in bed. I simply said “actions and not words. You will see tomorrow. Good Night.” She patted my hand and rolled over to sleep.

The crackle of black cat fireworks exploding somewhere down the street woke me. “Good morning and a happy Fourth of July!” The children were gathered at the kitchen table slowly and sleepily eating cereal. “Kids” I cheerfully announced “I have two things to say.” Given my general state of grumpiness the previous week and weekend I did not get an overly enthusiastic response. I cleared my throat “I would just like to say that sometimes I am not the most patient daddy.” Knox looked at me with a funny look and said “you got that right.” I resisted the urged and trudged on. “Thing

is, I sometimes get so caught up in work and providing that I miss the joy of being your dad, of enjoying the simple and wonderful things in our life.” Keeny, my daughter, ever the precocious one piped up “like the time when Knox colored on the carpet with permanent marker?” They looked at me to gauge my response “yes” I said “even those precious, precious memories.” The tension eased and they began to engage me. “Okay so, will you forgive me for being a grouch?” My answer was a sweet and humbling “we forgive you daddy” in unison.

“What was the second thing” asked Knox. I smiled “well, you know its July 4th which means we get to celebrate our freedom with a grand parade.” They all perked up and began excitedly talking among themselves. They huddled together and whispered what could only be a master plan for the parade. Keeny volunteered to speak for the three of them. “Daddy” she said “we have decided that we would like to decorate our bikes and wagon for the parade.” I smiled my approval. “Only thing is, we used all of last year’s decorations on papa’s old rusty crab pot yesterday. It was looking awfully shabby. When we threw it in the river all the beads and streamers and stuff floated away.

I don’t think papa knows, but we can’t find the crab pot either. Can you take us to the store to buy more?” I paused before responding.

My practical, fatherly response would probably be a pin through the balloon. I shelved the lecture and advice and joyfully entered their world of play and imagination with a simple and happy “sure, let me get my keys.” My wife patted my shoulder as I walked out the door “way to lighten up daddy” she said “glad my prince charming is back. I’ve missed him.”

Words of wisdom: Life is too short to get so wound up with things that are ultimately fleeting. Play more, worry less.

Enjoy the freedom to do both this July.

ey Bluffton. The heat is on [no, really!} and the time is now to hit the river, the beach and the music destinations this summer. There is a definite State of Mind that has emerged around here in the last 50 years, becoming more refined as growth and population have exploded. Work hard, play hard. People in Bluffton love their weekend at the sandbar or even the pool as much as they love their beer and music. There are plenty of places around the area to catch live music after a hard day of cornhole and grillin’.

Corks in the Promenade is a super place to catch bands on friday nights. Craft beers? check.. Wine? yup.....In one room you have a full bar where people gather to enjoy wine and cheese and pizzas etc. Through a cool doorway there is another room where the area’s biggest open mic happens on Tuesday nights and on fridays bands play all year round . Super chill Bluffton spot . The door is usually open so if u forget you can usually hear the music if u are eating at Bluffton Bbq or chilling at Woodys.

Capt. Woodys has music upstairs Thursday Friday and Saturday nights throughout the year until it gets too cold.

You can find solo guys like Chris Jones and Souls Harbour up there as well as the infamous Unicorn Meat in the fall.

They have great food and some neat craft beers to choose from. Plus Gunnar works up there with Frank. The music flows out into the promenade and the upstairs where the music is has a nice roof on it with open sides.

If u cruise past the Corner Perk you enter Calhoun street . The Dispensary is an outdoor acoustic venue where families are found enjoying music most every night. Great food put out by Matt Jordings crew and hardcore ‘the show must go on” attitude by the Viljacs make the place a hoppin spot for the boating enthusiast or pedestrian alike. You can hang outside and take in the music or go

in and chill out in the AC. Tommy and Trevor play over there quite a bit as well as other cool acoustic acts.

Vineyard 55 is right across the way. An indoor venue, they have the largest beer selection in town and have music almost every night in season. Jon Renaldi knows what people want. Cool menu and Beer from all over the world, as well as wines wines wines. I could go into their wine selection,but i am a dummy when it comes to the grape so. Oh well.....Sterlin and Shuvette play..Neil and Bob....Harry Santana...LCB...check their fb page for daily updates. Actually check all the venues i have mentioned.

Out on 278 you have R Bar... Brandon and the crew have a nice indoor venue with a porch outside if you like stogies.

They have music on friday nights as well . GTA has played recently and i heard the place was jumpin. The food is good and the beer is cold. These guys have supported the local music scene for a while now and continue to do so bringing bands in from outta town from time to time.

Go see em!

If you cant get out and catch live music, I got you covered!

Local Bands Lowcountry Boil and Cranford Hollow have both recently released cds that you can find on Itunes and at shows. Dont forget the Sunset Parties hosted by Bearfoot Sports! Palmetto Bluff does the Tuesday night concert series through the summer. Beer and Brats is comin up in Sept. and i know there are things i am forgetting....As far as music pics for the summer : the new Alabama Shakes album Sound and Color is very very good. Check it out.

My son is into Florence and the Machine’s new one. My daughters like St. Vincent’s last album and my wife is still jamming out to the sophmore effort by The Band Perry.

ZZ Top put an album out in 2003 called Mescalero that enough people haven’t heard. Put that on when you’re cruising around looking for something to listen to. I’m excited for another summer of music in Bluffton. That’s what we’re all about around here.
