Bree Boyce on the Today Show and Good Morning America

July 11, 2011

There are few things I love more than seeing positive news stories about Southerners. One of the things that I love more? Positive national news about Florence! In case you have not heard, Florence resident Bree Boyce is the new Miss South Carolina. While I don’t generally follow the pageant world, friends of mine have [...]

Easy like Sunday Morning…

November 8, 2009

Considering I spent almost all day at the Pecan Festival yesterday, I was about an inch short of exhaustion this morning. We have a little routine here at the Flossip house before 11:00 church and it almost always involves watching South Carolina Outdoors with Jay Gregg.

Mr. F and I are the lucky owners of this great book by Harold Creel. He was here recently signing books at Porters. I hate that I missed the signing, but I do have the book and I think it is a great coffee table book and a sweet read. It also has 5.0 out [...]

Mrs. Ruby Didn’t Come to Florence, Florence Came to Mrs. Ruby

May 5, 2009

PLEASE DO NOT REPRINT OR FORWARD WITHOUT PERMISSION. She sat across from me at the kitchen table, her eyes still bright, her mind still sharp. The walker and pink pajamas during the day are the only indication that age is catching up with her. She is a wisp of a woman, formidable still at half [...]

Who is this crazy Flossip chick anyway?

April 1, 2009

I get emails every day from people wondering who I am. Sometimes they think I am other people in the community, a random hockey mom, a guy that actually lives in Charleston… wrong, wrong, and wrong. The truth, as outlined in my about page, is that nothing can be kept a secret forever. I write [...]
