About Us

Peggy and John

Thank you for visiting our Internet site. These pictures show a little of what it looks like around here.

Our house from the marsh

Front steps

We live in the woods at the north end of Lady’s Island near Beaufort, SC. The first picture shows our house from the marsh at high tide (you can barely see the roof above the trees). The next one shows the steps leading up to the front door. 

The Mossy Oak

Our Logo: We see a lot of mossy live oak trees around our area. The wood from these trees was sought by early ship builders because it was so strong. A large live oak nearby was blown over in a hurricane back in the fifties. It did not give up and die, instead, a limb became the trunk of a new tree. It gets enough water and nutrients through the roots still in the ground to keep it alive. When hard times blow us over, let’s take a lesson from the live oak. I made the mossy oak our logo because it reminds me of strength and determination. The emphasis of our site is on family activities and bible study.

In brief, you should know the following about us: We are a retired couple, Peggy is a nurse and I am an engineer.  We moved to Beaufort, SC in 2001 after building a round house on the marshes of the Coosaw River. We enjoy life in this beautiful area with moderate temperatures and the friendly people of Beaufort, SC.

Our Children: We have three children, April, Dawn, and Ken. You will learn more about them in some of the posts on this blog.
