Spending time with family, fishing, gardening, reading.
I have lived in Pawley's Island, SC for over 30 years with my spouse and two children (16&23). I love spending time with my family doing various outdoor activities. We are a Gamecock family and enjoy watching or going to football games. I love walking my dogs on the beach. I like to fish in the creek. I love to garden, my new addition this year was a koi garden. I also enjoy reading.
