Hello to all you blog readers out there, welcome to My Lowcountry Living! My name is Tommy Ray, that’s my first name. Yes, it is a double first name, just like Billy Ray Cyrus. I am from Colorado, but live in Charleston now. Despite being from Colorado my double first name fits in just fine in South Carolina. I started mylowcountryliving.net to share my life living in the lowcountry of South Carolina. I love to cook and garden and through this blog I intend to share my favorite recipes with you and try new recipes together. I will share my experiences gardening and growing my own fruits and vegetables. I have been a type 2 diabetic for about 4 years and I am on a journey to lose weight, lower my A1C and live a healthy lifestyle. That journey to a healthy lifestyle will have its ups and downs and I will share that with my readers and together we can grow from it.
