The Lone Sailor

The Lone Sailor, Riverfront Park, North Charleston, S.C.

He is a bit over dressed for our heat but Iam pleased that North Charleston has one of the twelve copies of the Lone Sailor Statue. The original Lone Sailor statue was created in 1987 as a tribute to all the personnel of the sea services and placed at the United States Navy Memorial. This gentleman overlooks the Cooper River at the North Charleston Riverfront Park.


In other more local news, my hospital passed our Joint Commission survey with flying colors today. Whew. What a relief. No matter how much we try to maintain a high level of care you never know exactly what surveyors are going to concentrate on.  They send a team that can pop up anywhere. Our CEO gave us the good news at 4 p.m. that all went well and they left very impressed. I am very proud of all my co-workers today. High fives to everyone! Yippee!

Riverfront Park - Large Sculptures

Riverfront Park large sculptures, North Charleston, S.C.

I like getting up to the North Charleston Riverfront Park behind the old Navy Base after they switch out the large sculpture displays. This isn't my very favorite year's display but some of them are very cool. Without  thinking I happened to go to the park yesterday when all the vendors were setting up for the big party in the park for July 4th. What a grand place it must be to watch fireworks over the Cooper River.

North Charleston’s Annual National Outdoor Sculpture Competition and Exhibition. A component of the North Charleston Arts Festival, the Competition and Exhibition features large-scale contemporary sculptures on display throughout the year.

What a mixed up week it is! Only one more day to finish everything up at work before the weekend and a week's vacation for me. Woohoo!
