Our Loss

Yesterday was a very sad day for the Cook Family.  Gunner our wonderful family dog was killed.  He was under the tire of the UPS truck and the driver did not see him.  My husband called me to tell me and I broke out into sobs and could not talk and I have to say that I am still very emotional about Gunner.
I have decided that Mother's never stop caring for their children because my concern is for my son, Peyton, husband Peyton, daughter in law Lynn and all the children.
NOTE HERE.  The UPS driver was very emotional!
JUST LOOK AT THAT FACE!! Who could not have loved this one.

Need a Last Minute Gift?

I sometimes forget all of the wonderful things we have for sale in our office at Daniel Island Real Estate, and I am here just about every day.  I thought I'd just post a reminder that we have a lot of items here with the wonderful Daniel Island logo and a great collection of Charleston books, cookbooks and food items too.  It's really a perfect place to pick up a housewarming or hostess gift. 


How wonderful to get a perfect present without leaving the Daniel Island.  Stop by to do some shopping and see if I am here to say hello too!


Enjoy the sunshine and signs of Spring this weekend!

Warm Regards,
Brenda

Happy Thanksgiving


I hope you are looking forward to a day of friends, family, yummy food and relaxation- I know I am. We all should be thankful each and every day, but Thanksgiving is such a nice reminder to be thankful for all the things we forget day-in and day-out.

I am reminded to be thankful for my health, my family and friends (no matter how much distance or time separates us), thankful for having a ‘job’ I love, and thankful to work with wonderful people like you. My clients are the center of my career and each of you sure make it worth it!

Thank you for all you do to make my days such a blessing.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
