Love, love, love this!

Turner Street has fallen momentarily silent, wrapped in construction and detours that have redirected the natural rhythm of downtown. And while Blue Moon has been spared the disruption, many of our neighbors have not.

Businesses that are usually filled with familiar footsteps are now waiting a little longer for visitors to find their way. Their lights are still on. Their doors are still open. All that’s changed is the path that leads to them.

We believe in supporting the people who give Beaufort its character and charm, so Beaufort Restaurant Holdings is incentivizing every member of our Blue Moon and Rhumbar team with vouchers to use at these nearby businesses. A gesture of gratitude, and of solidarity,

Great food + a sense of humor!! Love it!

When the dirigibles come out this loaded, even Mr. Potato Head had to step in to supervise.
He approves — and trust us, he’s picky.
Come get your dirigible fix!

Looking for a really cool tech gift for you or someone in your family this Christmas? Consider getting the Ray-Ban Meta eyeglasses like I picked up from Island Proper Outfitters this year. I have absolutely LOVED them, and it has made taking photos and videos around town a breeze, especially when my hands are busy!

I spent a couple of months researching the different 'smart' glasses options, and these were the ones I decided on. I had never owned Ray-Ban glasses before (or honestly any glasses that cost more than about $50), and I knew Island Proper carried Ray Bans, so I went in to try some on to make sure they didn't make me look too goofy (what can I say, I have a weird shaped head and some glasses really accentuate it in the wrong way...luckily these don't!)

I was surprised and thrilled to realize that Island Outfitters carried these high tech glasses, and that they were priced the same as I had seen online! Yes please, I will gladly get a pair! You all know how I love to keep my shopping as local as possible!

I have absolutely loved the glasses, and they have been such a game changer in doing photos and videos around town, when I have been driving, biking, boating, kayaking, and so much more. I can take photos, videos, and calls hands free, and the quality is absolutely surpurb.

If you are local to our area, I encourage you to get your Ray-Bans from Island Proper/Island Outfitters. If you are not and plan on getting them, try to find them in a small local store around you. If that is not an option, they carry them on Amazon. Below is an affiliate link; if you purchase them on here I receive a small commission from Amazon:

If you want to look at the other Meta smart glasses options here is the link to the Meta Glasses Store on Amazon:

They have many other Ray Ban models, including inside glasses (vs sunglasses), as well as other well known brands such as Oakley.

Again, get them local if you can, but if not, I'd love it if you purchased them through the above links!

I have loved mine and if you are looking for a cool new way to take pics and videos, these are pretty darn cool!

Thank you Lord for wonderful things you have done for me, for my jobs, for the successes I have had, for the opportunities you have given me and my family. Thank you for the love of life you have given me, and the beautiful world to enjoy.

Thank you Lord for my friends and my community, and the ability to be a part of a community like this. Thank you for the amazing sights we get to see, the horses and dolphins and boats and birds. Thank you for the sunrises and the sunsets and the flowers and the trees.

Lord, thank you for all you do for us and all the wonderful gifts you have given us. Please forgive me of my sins and please help me to be the best Christian I can be. Please help me to be a good example for others.
