HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! MY MOST EMBARRASING TV MOMENT


For The Love of Bloopers!!!

To make mistakes is human; to stumble is commonplace; to be able to laugh at yourself is maturity. William Arthur Ward

As we were digesting our holiday dinner we discovered, https://za.investing.com/magazine/most-expensive-news-bloopers-and-fails-in-history-2 and had a lot of laughs scrolling through them.

FULL DISCLOSURE! I AM ON NOBODYS PAYROLL AND HAVE SOLICITED NO ENDORSEMENTS, CASH OR OTHERWISE FROM ANY SPONSOR(S).

As we were laughing, it reminded me of when I was being taped for an HGTV television show. I slipped up to the restroom while they were working on video in another area.

I began talking to myself, coaching myself, refreshing my memory, and doing…….. well, you know what people do in a restroom.

Luckily, the sound man broke in fairly early and says - I'm sure as casually as he could, "ummmmmm Miss P, are you aware your mic’s still on?"

I was mortified, to say the least and I’m not sure exactly why I so quickly blurted out, “Of course!” but I heard him laughing as I hurriedly fumbled for my mute button and we both had a good laugh afterward.

Make sure you take time to laugh at yourself in the new year!

GOOD TIMES!!

Secrets to the Success of Swan Lake and Iris Gardens Makes the News

  UPDATE 10/26/2022: A piece about Swan Lake's chocolate garden featuring MGs Sheryn Lavanish, their President, Jan Hilton and Fran Cecil aired on Columbia station wltx.  Go to https://www.wltx.com/video/news/local/street-squad/sumter/preparing-gardens-for-the-winter-months/101-dc33d386-b93d-4612-9c9c-3422de121a7a .  And the Secret is........... As a passionate wildlife photographer, I was drawn to the gardens in Sumter recently, and happily discovered that there's a lot more than swans, wildlife, and irises at this pristinely landscaped respite. This is what a Mute Swan looks like, after a hard days work at Swan Lake in Sumter, South Carolina.  Normally we're shown photos of pristine white, perfectly groomed swans.  The reality is though, feeding in murky nutrient rich water and tipping up to harvest vegetation from the mud on the bottom takes its toll on a bird's coiffure.  Sheryn LaVanish, certified Master Gardener South Carolina Master Gardeners like Sheryn LaVanish

Jasper Wreaks Havoc and Makes History

The ice embellished seed pods on this Crepe Myrtle made a provocative and most unusual background for this January 22nd photo and surprised a year-round resident Bluebird in South Carolina Winter Storm Jasper was not "for the birds."  It was a serious storm that caused power outages, closed schools, and dropped record amounts of snow, sleet and freezing rain, as well as caused a record-breaking number of flight cancellations, as it barreled across the US this past week.  And it didn't stop when it plowed into the southeastern coast.   The ice it brought caused flight delays and hazardous road conditions in coastal South Carolina, a dilemma for residents, and resident and migrating birds as well.  The city's website and news stations issued frequent updates on the status of the storm, since these storms are rare and infrequent.  A statement on the city's website reported that, "Myrtle Beach and other southern cities are not as equipped as our northern states t

Market Common is a growing and up-and-coming area with a diverse composite of waterfront, unique homes, restaurants, and boutiques in the Myrtle Beach area, definitely worthy of a visit. While you’re there, I'd recommend a leisurely stroll to visit the remnants of the surrounding old Air Force base and military planes on display there as well. At first, choosin
