Welcome Summer With a Diet Of

ColorfulFruits and VegetablesSummer is a time for growth and lots of outside activity.Make sure to add some color to your diet.When you select your foods, include a variety of brightly colored fruits and vegetables.Summer offers abundant variety and the diet should reflect this. The body sweats outminerals and oils and their loss can cause weakness if they are not replaced througha varied diet. Common fruits which cool summer heat are apples, watermelon (melonsin general), apricots, pears, peaches, lemons and limes.

When you select your foods, avoid refrigerated or frozen foods. Too much refrigeratedor frozen food combined with summer heat weakens digestive organs. Iced drinks andice cream actually contract the stomach and stop digestion. Chilled food is refreshingand refrigeration keeps food from spoiling, but eating food at that temperature can slowor stop digestion.

Fruits and vegetables are easy to digest and have other advantages for the warmermonths. Eat frequent (every 3 hours) but small meals. Eating less and lightly on hot,bright days is a natural, healthy practice.

RED FRUITS AND VEGETABLESContain nutrients such as lycopene, ellagic acid, Quercetin, and Hesperidin, to name a few. These nutrientsreduce the risk of prostate cancer, lower blood pressure, reduce tumor growth and LDLcholesterol levels, scav-

enge harmful free-radicals, and support join tissue in arthritis cases.

ORANGE AND YELLOW FRUITS AND VEGETABLESContain beta-carotene, zeaxanthin, flavonoids, lycopene, potassium, and vitamin C. These nutrients reduceage-related macula degeneration and the risk of prostate cancer, lower LDL cholesterol and blood pressure,promote collagen formation and healthy joints, f ight harmful free radicals, encourage alkaline balance, and workwith magnesium and calcium to build healthy bones.

GREEN VEGETABLES AND FRUITGreen vegetables contain chlorophyll, fiber, lutein, zeaxanthin, calcium, folate, vitamin C, calcium, and Beta-carotene. The nutrients found in these vegetables reduce cancer risks, lower blood pressure and LDL choles-terol levels, normalize digestion time, support retinal health and vision, fight harmful free-radicals, and boostimmune system activity.

BLUE AND PURPLE FRUITS AND VEGETABLESContain nutrients which include lutein, zeaxanthin, resveratrol, vitamin C, fiber, flavonoids, ellagic acid, and

quercetin. Similar to the previous nutrients, these nutrients support retinal health, lower LDL cholesterol, boostimmune system activity, support healthy digestion, improve calcium and other mineral absorption, fight inflam-mation, reduce tumor growth, act as an anticarcinogens in the digestive tract, and limit the activity of cancercells.

WHITE FRUITS AND VEGETABLESContain nutrients such as beta-glucans, EGCG, SDG, and lignans that provide powerful immune boosting activ-ity. These nutrients also activate natural killer B and T cells, reduce the risk of colon, breast, and prostate can-cers, and balance hormone levels, reducing the risk of hormone-related cancers.

Agape Senior InConway Receives Top

Ratings From U.S.

Department Of Health& Human Services

Centers For Medicare & Medicaid Services Five-StarQuality Rating Systems Compares Nursing Homes

Throughout United States

Submitted by Matt Staub

Agap Senior, located at 2320 Hwy. 378 in Conway, recently received 5 out of 5 stars

in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Five-Star Quality Rating

System. A division of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, CMS created

the rating system to help consumers, their families, and caregivers compare nursing

homes more easily and to help identify potential areas for questions. Agap Senior is

the only area nursing home to receive an overall 5-star rating. Additionally, Agap

Senior is one of only 30 to receive top ratings within the entire state of South Carolina;

181 nursing facilities in South Carolina were rated.

To receive top scores in the CMS rating process is quite an honor for Agap Senior,

said Matt Staub, administrator for Agap Senior. It is imperative to our team that weplace our patients and guests at the top of our priority list. Agap Senior is proud to

have such a dedicated staff and I credit our score to their commitment to excellence.

The CMS ratings are published online at www.cms.gov. Additionally, the website pro-

vides background information on the rating process. Nursing homes are rated overall,

and also in three areas of source information, including health inspections, staffing,

and quality measures.

The health inspection rating contains information from the last three years of onsite

inspections, including both standard surveys and any complaint surveys. This informa-

tion is gathered by individuals who go onsite to the nursing home and follow a specif-

ic process to determine the extent to which a nursing home has met Medicares mini-

mum quality requirements. The most recent survey findings are more heavily weight-

ed than findings from the preceding two years. More than 200,000 onsite reviews are

used in the health inspection scoring nationally.

The staffing rating has information about the number of hours of care on average pro-

vided to each resident each day by nursing staff. This rating considers differences in

the level of need of care of residents in different nursing homes. For example, a nurs-

ing home with residents who had more severe needs would be expected to have more

nursing staff than a nursing home where the resident needs were not as high.

Quality Measures (QMs) The quality measure rating has information on 10 differentphysical and clinical measures for nursing home residents, such as the prevalence of

pressure sores or changes to residents mobility. This information is collected by the

nursing home for all residents. The QMs offer information about how well nursing

homes are caring for their residents physical and clinical needs. More than 12 million

assessments of the conditions of nursing home residents are used in the Five-Star

Rating System.

More information about the Centers for Medicare &Medicaid Services Five-Star Quality Rating Systems

is available online at www.cms.gov.

Even with all its mystery and

risk, there is something special

about being out to sea; its

beauty, abundance of life below

the deep waters and above in

the night time sky, the view of

Gods broad canvas of heav-

enly creations, where all

seems calm and peaceful.

First-time experiences with deep sea fishing varies. Depending

on the individuals personality and seriousness at the attempt,the first time at deep sea fishing could be the last time for many.

The life of a commercial fisherman may seem precarious but it

takes someone special to brave the unknown we tend to take

for granted this fact when we sit for dinner in a restaurant to eat

the local fresh catch of the day and not realize how much work

went into catching and delivering gifts from the sea.

For a female to enjoy the sport is rare and seems dangerous to

those of us who fear leaving the safety of dirt or sand beneath

our feet, but in another way, envy comes to mind when you thinkof the adventure it brings.

Born and raised in Murrells Inlet, Cynthia Ann Hair, a beautiful

young lady that is shy at first impression, but articulate when

expressing her wants and wishes, grew up learning all about the

marshland and ocean from her parents Tina and Reese Hair, a

local commercial fisherman. She has gigged flounder in the

marsh creeks, swam with dolphins in the ocean, attempted surf-

ing several times, has eaten her share of oysters and yes, loves

deep sea fishing!

At age twenty one, she is the youngest commercial fisherman,

or more correctly spoken, fisher-woman, in this area. Most

recently in May, Cynthia won Lady Angler at a tournament

called Crazy Sisters Offshore Challenge. She was on the FV

Schools Out (FV stands for - Fishing Vessel which is what they

called the boats). Captain of the FV was Bryan Smith (aka, a

School Boy). The fishing crew consisted of Bryan Smith, Hank

Smith, Steve Keyes and Cynthia. That day, she caught a 32

pound Dolphin (pictured below).

Local Murrells Inlet Native . . .

Feels Right At HomeOut On The Big Blue!

Cynthia is a graduate of St. James High School in Murrells Inlet and is currently a student at Horry

Georgetown Technical College and Coastal Carolina University; her major is Marine Biology.

After graduation, Cynthias plans are to go where her major takes her in Marine Biology and she is certainto find an adventurous occupation that is fun and rewarding as well. Along with a successful career, she

wishes to get married, start a family, and of course, teach her children how to fish!

This young lady is petite, prim and proper but has a touch of Tom Boy in her that makes her a great catch

for a male with equal desire for adventure. She is not your stay-at-home type of girl and to keep up with

Cynthia, you better get moving cause she loves to travel and will continue to fish and have fun on the water

whether its the marsh waters or the waters of the big blue sea. Her favorite seafood delight is Sushi.

When asked if she felt her experiences with the sport of Deep Sea Fishing will encourage other females

to want to do the same, her reply was, I think it will encourage other women to fish as a sport but not nec-

essarily fish as a way of making a living. Cynthia went on to say that she would encourage her own daugh-ter to learn the skills of fishing but not pursue commercial fishing as a career.

For those of us who have never fished, it seems a difficult task at least, not to mention what needs to be

done to the fish after the catch is successfully accomplished. When asked if there is level of difficulty

between fish such as catching grouper vs. sharp, dolphin, etc., the answer was simple enough to under-

stand; Bandit reels are used and even though they crank up some of the larger fish, there is a button on

the reel that when pressed, the motor will bring in the fish that weigh more. As far as those that put up a

fight more than most, we are told that grouper are not very aggressive and easier to reel in compared to

shark, which put up quite a fight.

Based on her recent four-day experience while being out to sea with her father, Reese, Cynthia realized justhow hard her father works. Even though she has always appreciated him and admired the man he is, she

said the experience made her appreciate him more. Even with him taking it easy on me, it was probably

some of the most extreme work I have

ever done she said.

Pictured to the right, Cynthia holds a 25

pound Warsaw Grouper which is another

fish that would seem terrifying to most

females and even some males, but with

skills taught by her father,

Reese, she managed to pull

the large fish out of the seaand onto the boat herself.

The boat Cynthia was on

when she caught this big

fella is called Hair Dew.

Thank you Tina and Cynthia

for sharing this unique and

fascinating story with our

Coastal Journal readers.

Cynthia, you are an awe-some young lady and wewish you well with futureadventures!

Saturday evening before going to Cradys for their final evening in town, Coryell said,I hope we can get to see Buddy Guy this evening as weve been close friends formany years. Guy performed in Myrtle Beach as the closing act for the Mayfest event.

In additionto the inns special activities, we are located just minutes from historic downtownConway, which opens up an array of things to see and do.

Submitted by Bridgette Johnson

LARRY CORYELL is one of the worlds acknowledged guitar masters. He has record-ed more than 75 albums over the past 40 years as a bandleader, soloist and featuredaccompanist. Hailed by his legion of fans as one of the guitar gods in the late 1970sand as a truly Renaissance musician who excels at all styles of playing, he has alsobeen christened as a true pioneer of rock-jazz fusion by the New York Times, anddubbed the Godfather of Fusion by Dan Ouellette of Down Beat Magazine.

Born in Galveston, Texas, Larry tried his hand at a number of instruments before set-tling on the guitar. He credits Chet Atkins, Chuck Berry and (later on) Wes Montgomery,as his prime influences.

Larry arrived in New York City via Seattle in 1965, and began honing his formidable instru-mental skill as the basis for his musical expression. To master every aspect of the guitar,Larry also studied classical guitar with Leonid Bolotine. After developing the first incarna-tion of his virtuoso technique Larry played his first big time job with Killer Joe Piro.National recognition then came during his tenure with the Gary Burton Quartet in 1967.

The late 60s thru early 70s saw Larry as one of the most in-demand guitarists in Rock,Jazz and all musical genres. During that time Larry was part of Rocks experimenta-tion, and toured with Jack Bruce, and was featured in sessions with Jimmy Webb, the5th Dimension, Charles Mingus, Billy Cobham, Chick Corea and John McLaughlin.Through the albums produced during this period, Larry Coryell emerged as a profoundmusic prophet who merged Rock, Jazz, Eastern modes and scales and free-formimprov flashing Classical riffs.

The most recent recordings Larry has done are available on Chesky Records(Impressions, Traffic & Electric), Rhombus Records (Laid Back & Blues),HighNote (Cedars Of Avalon), and Favored Nations (Tricycles).

The Battleship North Carolina, also known as the Sleeping Giant or Ghost Ship, rests

in Wilmington, North Carolina and is viewed as one of the most recognized haunted loca-tions on the east coast. Open to tourists and paranormal researchers, the Battleship

North Carolina embraces their haunted history and paranormal claims through variousevents held at the great ship. Danny Bradshaw has been the Night Watchman on theBattleship North Carolina for over two decades. Six years ago, Mr. Bradshaw releaseda book entitled, Ghosts on the Battleship North Carolina, describing his experiences

with the alleged paranormal activity on the ship.

Heather Loftin, Promotions Director of the Battleship North Carolina has experienced afew strange occurrences of her own.

There are few things that I have questioned in regards to computer and other electron-ic equipment malfunction in my office which happens to be around the library/Chaplains

office where there have been reports of major activity. But I havent been able to debunkor confirm one way or the other, said Ms. Loftin.

Her experiences extend beyond that as well. On many occasions, like so many othershave reported, Heather experienced the overwhelming feeling of being watched.

Everyone was down in the canteen eating pizza when I came up on the ship to get

drinks. It was dark and again it just felt like someone was watching me. That time, I actu-

ally spoke out and said, its just me you know Im not going to do anything to harm you.

The feeling of someone watching me went away, added Heather.

Heather and Danny are not the only employees working on the ship that has experiencedparanormal activity. Throughout the years many staff members have reported claims of

phantom voices, moving shadows and the overwhelming feeling of being watched or fol-lowed. Even Night Watchman Danny Bradshaws predecessor warned him about the

ghosts allegedly aboard the ship.

He told me, Danny, there are two ghosts aboard this ship. There is one who wont mindyou too much and another who is mischievous. I didnt really believe him, but my first

five nights on the job I ended up sleeping in my car, stated Danny Bradshaw, NightWatchman of the Battleship North Carolina.

Danny and Heather, as well as many others, describe the visual encounters with the enti-ties as solid walking shadows with the silhouette of person.

There have been several instances around the Barbette Area of shadows behind theprojectiles standing and watching the activities. They always duck back when they find

someone looks over at them, stated Heather.

With two decades worth of ghostly claims, the Battleship North Carolina welcomesParanormal Researchers to conduct investigation work and hopefully come to conclu-sions that help validate these paranormal occurrences.

The Battleship North Carolina has been the subject of many network paranormal pro-grams in addition to endless personal videos captured by independent paranormalgroups.

Right now monsterVisionTV, Ghost Hunters, and Ghost Hunters Academy [have

researched and filmed episodes aboard the ship]. There are however numerous othergroups that have come to investigate as well, added Ms. Loftin.

Much of the activity reported has derived from the Sick Bay area of the ship. A large por-tion of the staff has experienced the feeling of being brushed by or objects blown towardsthem and have even seen or heard something talking to them.

During an investigation into the paranormal claims, researchers captured a phantomvoice in the hallway adjacent to the Sick Bay area. Although many opinions have beengiven as to what the voice is saying, the majority appears to lean towards the phrase,stay back.

When the ship was commissioned, ten soldiers were killed in action during war times.

Many believe that the two alleged apparitions haunting the ship could possibly be thosekilled during battle.

The Battleship North Carolina shares their haunted history very openly and hosts manyevents yearly based around the paranormal occurrences.

Ghosts

We currently host Batty Battleship and Ghost Ship. Batty Battleship is a Trick or Treatevent for kids and Ghost Ship is a haunted house aboard. We have been working on an

event entitled Paranormal Nights. This looks to premiere some time in 2011, saidHeather.

People have experienced things, I just dont know what they are.Something is happening here, I just cant explain it, added Heather.

There have been hundreds of paranormal claims deriving from personal encounters on the

great ship. Still to this day, no real concrete evidence has been presented to validate

these strange occurrences. Audio and video footage continues to surface displaying pos-

sible paranormal happenings onboard the ship. The majority of evidence publicly made

leaves too much room for subjectivity. However, not every Paranormal Researcher or

group studying the ship are conducting research to validate the claims. Some researchers

are attempting to disprove the haunting altogether by offering scientific explanations for the

most common occurrences possibly mislabeled as being paranormal.

Even considering the large amount of claims documented through personal experiences,video footage or audio captures about the paranormal occurrences, the Battleship NorthCarolinas haunted history has yet to truly be proven. With no solid evidence presented,the quest for further validation to either prove or disprove the haunting continues.

It is really difficult to put an estimate on the number of people that have encounters onthe Battleship. Social Media has really expanded and more people are coming out to tell

us of the experiences aboard. I would guess that at least once a month people are men-

tioning some type of out of the normal happenings, concluded Heather Loftin,Promotions Director of the Battleship North Carolina.

The historic Battleship North Carolina is truly a magnificent ship rich in history. The

attraction offers self-guided and educational tours, activities for children, a museum,naval heritage and frequent special events.

Aboard The BattleshipNorth Carolina



William darted out the back door as fast as lightening with the attempt to take control

of the raging horse that had suddenly approached the side of my car! I tried, but could-

nt get away from the horse quick enough; everything happened in an instant. Erin was

at a safe distance away from the horse, thank the Lord! But, by natural human instinct,

I raised my arm in the air to block the force coming toward

me, of course, it did no good. With a harsh blow to my

arm, the horse struck me with one hoof and down tothe ground I went. I quickly realized that my arm was

badly broken and a stream of blood had begun to

gush from the deeply cut wound!

William managed to get the horse away from me

before more harm was done. With strong arms

and a swift up-lift motion, he swept me from the

ground and put me into the car. Off we went to Dr.

Flaggs house in a hurry! The pain of the break

was almost as unbearable to feel as it was to look

at. William stopped mid-ways along the sandy roads

to rip a cloth in long pieces to wrap around my arm to

control the bleeding a little. As we proceeded on our way

to the good doctors house, I started to feel faint but managed

to stay alert. That is, until we arrived at Dr. Flaggs house, then I was told later that I

fainted while going up the steps of his porch.

I was wakened by a throbbing arm this morning but thankful to be alive! William told

me that while Erin and I were gone shopping in Georgetown, a fire broke out in the

horse stables behind Ms. Sarah Anns house. He said that he and other men in the

community successfully put out the fire but all eight horses had gotten loose after being

spooked by the smoke and flames. William had gone back to our house to gather rope

and gloves to help get the horses back to the stables when he happened to look outthe window and saw me coming up the drive and the horse racing toward me at the

same time. Had he not been home, it could have been a tragedy indeed!

There was a knock at the door; it was the Captain and Ms. Emma, they dropped by for

a visit to check on the wounded one. Hows our favorite girl doing this morning said

the captain. I laughed and replied that I was doing fine and will not let this incident

cause me to miss their upcoming Thanksgiving event at the lodge. Each year, the

Captain and Miss Emma supply all the blue crabs, oysters, corn cakes and delicious

pies and all the neighbors in the area bring at

least one dish each. Thanksgiving at the lodge

turns out a large feast that can easily feed 200people.

William ran into Henry while in Crowleys

Grocery in Georgetown the other day and he

said his father will be playing the fiddle at the

Thanksgiving event along with some other

fellas from the community down the creek. Its

going to be nice to see everyone and mingle

around, and so much fun for all of us. It may

even be more fun for those who wait patiently

for Clyde Carvers homemade moonshine. I

hear it packs quite a punch and can take youfrom standing sky-side up to sandy-side down in

no time! I dont partake in drinking shine but

older folks say it keeps them feeling a bit spry!

Life by the Seaa dream captures images of yesterdays adventures . . .CONTINUED from the May issue . . . Written by Sherrill Schaefer

I can hear Mr. Carver now . . . Sophie, making good moonshine is an art. It takes lots

of time and practice before one can whip up a good batch. There are many ways of

making moonshine. Some folks like to add a special ingredient or change the method

during the distilling period. They claim it makes their moonshine taste different and

better from any other. Me, I have a special moonshine recipe that runs em all out of

town! William told me one time that moonshiners and bootleggers have "code words"

they use to talk to one another about the business. The secret language they use pro-tects them from the local law. To understand the moonshine culture you have to under-

stand their lingo.

Last I heard, Clyde Carver is smitten over Ms. Sarah Ann but she said he has no busi-

ness trying to talk to her, that she wasnt the least bit interested in him nor his unfavor-

able lifestyle and method of making a living. Mr. Carver claims that Ms. Sarah Ann is

just plain practical about everything and a little too proper, but will eventually come

around to his way of thinking. Or so, he hopes!

Evening rolled around quickly and the sky was changing colors. It is a beautiful sight

to see Gods creation of colors reflected from the heavenly sky in the standing wateralong the shoreline. I watch as a group of sanderlings announce their presence with

little chirps as their tiny little legs run rapidly along the beach, searching for crus-

taceans and mollusk as the coolness of the evening air starts to set in for the night.

Early mornings and evenings by the sea are particularly more beautiful and peaceful

with the gentle roar of waves rolling onto shore; the rising of the sun in the morning and

the rise of the moon in the evening. The wildlife is simply amazing on both land and

sea! Along the beach you hear the many sounds of assorted gulls, terns, willets, and

plovers, just to name a few, that add to the beautiful flight of pelicans above your head.

Off in the distance of the ocean you can see several fishing boats, all of which will bring

in their fresh catch of the day and closer to shore you can see dolphins playing with

their young. Awww . . . I cant imagine living anywhere else!

Thanksgiving Feast at the Lodge . . .

We arrived at the lodge a little early before the crowd thickened. With my arm in a cast

and William having to manage most of the care for Erin, we wanted to reserve a spot

on the large wrap-around porch to spread our blanket and get set up. The smell of

cooking filled the air and lots of children were running around and playing hide n seek

under the porch and around the trees and bushes. I can envision Erin running and

playing with all of them someday. She is now pulling herself up on anything she can

reach and holds on with such great balance, she may be walking sooner than we

expect. She was a real attention getter in the crowd and just loves the men she is

fascinated by mustaches and hats! Erin is a beautiful baby; she has blue eyes andlight brown hair that curls up on the ends. She is a true little Southern Belle who

enjoys sand between her toes and braves the rush of water as the waves gently cover

her feet, making her take an exhilarated breath; then she laughs as if theres no greater

joy on Earth!

Ms. Emma and a worker at the lodge, Miss Nellie, came around the corner from the

back kitchen carrying a large pot of steamed blue crabs to place on a table beside the

oysters. The pot was so large that it took the two of them to bring it around, then one

of the strong fishermen lifted the pot up and put it on the table to pour out its wonder-

ful contents. The smell of roasting oysters or clams may not be appealing to most out-

siders but for those of us who grew up in the Low Country, living on the coast or along

the inlet creeks, love the smell of these mouth-watering delectables and love the smellof what they are plucked from in nearby creeks pluff mud. You never forget that

smell, it congers perfect thoughts of crabbing, clam digging, shrimp, oysters, and shar-

ing a bountiful feast with family and friends; the best of times!



Henrys father and several other men that live along the creek in Murrells Inlet started

to pick and tune their fiddles, banjos and guitars to get ready for the musical entertain-

ment. There was also one harmonica player in the group that I didnt recognize but

William shook his hand as if to know him well. A piano had been brought out onto the

porch behind where the men were set up but I never saw anyone sit down to play.

While the men were getting ready to perform, Captain Bill had the victrola playing a few

tunes to keep everyone entertained. One of my favorite songs was playing and Ms.

Sarah Ann offered to keep watch over Erin so William and I could dance to Let Me Call

You Sweetheart.I am dreaming Dear of you, day by day

Dreaming when the skies are blue,

When they're gray;

When the silv'ry moonlight gleams,

Still I wander on in dreams,

In a land of love, it seems,

Just with you.

Let me call you "Sweetheart," I'm in love with you.

Let me hear you whisper that you love me too.

Keep the love-light glowing in your eyes so true.

Let me call you "Sweetheart," I'm in love with you.

The men were ready to start playing but before they began, everyone settled down so

Captain Bill and Ms. Emma, who stood on the steps of the porch, could say a few

words of how thankful they were to have the opportunity to get to know such fine peo-

ple in our small, but close-knit community. A tear streamed down the captains face and

I couldnt help but feel the love he expressed toward all of us as my own eyes had

begun to fill with tears. Captain Bill thanked everyone for coming and those who

helped get everything set up for their annual Thanksgiving feast; he introduced someof the local fishermen from the area then yelled, Dig in folks, and enjoy yourselves!

The men began to play their instruments and several dancers at the great feast were

ready to shake a leg. The musicians were very talented and played tunes such as,

Swing Low, Sweet Chariot, Alexanders Ragtime Band, and Steamboat Bill. The

party was off to a great start!

After helping Ms. Emma with the preparations and cooking for the biggest feast of the

year, Miss Nellie decided to take a much needed break and help herself to some hot

vittles, musical enjoyment and relaxation time. She even brought out some of her

homemade concoction; a recipe handed down from her grandmother, called Tshiluba

maluvu, or palm wine to all of us in the Low Country. It originated in Africa and was pro-

duced from sap or juice collected from palm trees. The South Carolina palmetto tree is

the source of this very potent brew by extracting material from the center of the pal-

metto tree, called palm cabbage or palmetto cabbage, and then cooked or fermented

to produce the wine. Between Miss Nellie and Mr. Carver, I do believe we are stocked

well with plenty of homemade brew, not to mention the big jug full of Mint Julep Tea

that was brought by Ms. Sarah Ann.

Speaking of Ms. Sarah Ann, just moments after Henrys father and the other men start-

ed playing favorite old time tunes, I noticed Mr. Clyde Carver paid her a visit across the

lawn and the next time I turned around, they were gone. I swirled around in the other

direction, almost losing my hat, and found them standing on the dock by the creek.They seemed to be enjoying each others company; unlike the attitude Ms. Sarah Ann

had earlier about this lovesick gentleman-caller who so foolishly beseeched her affec-

tions! Perhaps Mr. Carver rehearsed his speech over and over until he found the right

words to encourage Ms. Sarah Ann to let her hair down and enjoy life! She has been

a widow for many years, a devoted and loving mother and grandmother, and who ever

said that one can no longer feel passion or fall in love again in ones older years?!

I was so caught up in my thoughts of romance for the two that I lost track of time and

when I looked in their direction again, they were no longer on the dock. They had

walked out to her new Roadster. As I watched them, a dreadful thing caught my eyes!

Stop Ms. Sarah, stop. Someone help, I think Ms. Sarah has run over Mr. Carver by

accident Sophie cried out! Suddenly, the music stopped, the dancers stopped in their

tracks, and the children got the quietest they had been all day. All eyes were now set

on Ms. Sarah Ann and Mr. Clyde Carver out on the lawn. Mr. Carver was laying on the

ground underneath Ms. Sarah Anns car and it didnt appear that he was moving.

I couldnt begin to think what could possibly have happened or why. Ms. Sarah had

just bought the new 1912 Buick Roadster as an early Christmas gift for herself.

Perhaps she is not used to the brakes or changing the gears or maybe the conversa-

tion didnt go well between Mr. Carver and herself and she let him know her displeas-

ure at his mere undignified presence! Well, this lets me know that obviously no love

will blossom between them now! It is evident that he didnt rehearse his speech

enough and chose the wrong words to say to her. What a dreadful shame!

Captain Bill dropped a whole pot of freshly steamed blue crabs and ran out to Ms.

Sarahs car; along with everyone else, that is! Just as they reached her car, Mr. Carver

stood up and dusted off his clothes. He was simply adjusting a part underneath her

roadster that had worked its way loose. Too quick for my comfort, the crowd turned andlooked back at me; for once in my life I knew how a deer feels just before getting shot!

The captain explained to Ms. Sarah Ann why the whole crowd of them were around her

car; that I cried out that she had run over Mr. Carver.

The crowd spread apart and Ms. Sarah Ann looked at me for a moment. It was a tense

moment to say the least. With her forefinger she did a rapid curling motion, making a

gesture that I come to her. Slowly, I walked out to her car and you would have thought

I had committed a dreadful, unforgettable, and unforgivable sin of all sins. Suddenly I

remembered an embarrassing incident back in my youth, with an old sunday school

teacher by the name, Ms. Crabtree.

Sophie, do you honestly think I could ever disgrace myself in such a way, especiallyin front of a crowd of people with small children looking on? Ms. Sarah said. Why no,

I guess not Ms. Sarah. Please forgive me, I just thought that . . . My face and chest

had turned shades of red that even I couldnt give a name for the color! Sophie, I was

leaving the lodge briefly to go home and check on the horses in the stable; I intended

to come back to the gathering directly afterwards! During my conversation with Mr.

Carver out on the dock I had mentioned a ticking sound underneath my new roadster

and he was kind enough to take a look. There was no act of harm taking place. You

have caused quite an embarrassing ruckus! May I suggest you stop day-dreaming a

bit and come back down from the clouds, as not to mix dreams with reality. Ms. Sarah

said with a touch of anger! All I could say was Yes maam!

Today is a brand new day . . . some of my favorite words to say. I heard a knock at

the door, it was softly done but I was able to hear it nonetheless; it was Ms. Sarah Ann.

Sophie, I dropped by to talk for awhile if it is fine with you. My quick outburst at the

lodge a couple of weeks ago was unnecessary and I have been upset with myself for

the behavior I displayed and want to apologize if you would be so kind to accept. That

day, Mr. Carver was just being a friend to me, an old lady that he thinks he feels some

kind of connection to, nothing more. Never change my dear, one of the appealing

things that so many love about your character, is your imagination. Besides possess-

ing a God-given talent for the arts, your dreams, colorful imaginations and the love and

care you have for others is also a wonderful gift.

For once in my life, I was speechless and tears filled my eyes. That was one of thekindest apologies with a sweet compliment included, that I have ever heard. I accept-

ed her apology and together, as good friends, we sat down for warm noon tea and

cakes. This brand new day was lovely indeed! continued in the July issue
