Doug and Mary graciously allowed us to descend upon their house again. The party was on Friday night, April 14, and this year we had no gnats because of the cool and rainy weather. We had low country boil that was catered by Russo's, and there was grilled chicken for the non-seafood eaters and others, too.

Whoever makes a garden, has never worked alone;
The rain has always found it, the sun has always known.
The wind has blown across it, and helped to scatter seeds.
Whoever makes a garden, has, oh, so many friends;
The glory of the morning, the dew when daylight ends,
The wind, and rain, and sunshine And dew , and fertile sod,
And he who makes a garden, works hand in hand with God.
The May picnic of the WIGC was an absolute success and everybody had a good time. Thanks to Karen for informative and fun tourguiding. We learned again something new about the colorful history of our beautiful downtown. Here we are all together in a "family portrait".
