  • A Carolina Island Life: How It Came To Pass, Part VIII

    Posted on November 26, 2011November 26, 2011

    More than just about any house I’ve ever seen, that house had some kind of magic in its walls, a storybook feel to it. We had first stumbled on the house in the paper, and on our initial drive-by, it looked even better in person. Then, one day we looked on the internet, and the […]

    The phone rang, and rang, and rang. And then we got voicemail, so we left a message.
