Today on the Island

Greetings from sunny HHI! Yesterday we had much needed rain, but the rest of the week is forecasted to be one that is evidence of why we live here-- sunny and warm. The Beach Club at Sea Pines looked to be busy today with vacationers already, plus a few residents, too, I imagine. Sea Pines offers so much to do and, as I talked about last week, was THE original planned community. In fact, the acronym PUD didn't even exist before Sea Pines. See www.seapines.com for complete details on the doings and happenings this unique resort community. I love living in Sea Pines. Harbour Town and South Beach Village are just bike rides away from my front door, leisure trails abound at every corner, shopping and dining are right here! Also see www.trufflescafe.com for one of my favorite Island restaurants, located in Sea Pines Center. Memorial Day weekend also means the return of an Island tradition-- Gregg Russell concerts nightly (except Saturdays) through Labor Day under the Liberty Oak in Harbour Town. One more site: www.greggrussell.com. When you visit Hilton Head during the summer, you MUST attend at least one concert while you are here--pure fun for everyone! And speaking of Gregg, I am off to a new gourmet to-go shop, Christine's to Go Go, at Coligny Plaza, to pick up dinner. Proceeds this evening benefit the charity Hilton Head Heroes, founded by Gregg and Lindy Russell, which brings critically ill children and their families to Hilton Head for a fully paid vacation. I will expound on this wonderful cause a bit more next writing... I mean posting. I'm getting the hang----
