From 12 am Monday to about noon, we had a rain storm that dropped 13.08” of rain in our backyard. It was not predicted to produce this much. At one point, my rain gauge said it was coming down at a rate of 3.31” per hour! They started the day with a two hour delay for kids at school but…
Mom and I drove to Myrtle Beach on Tuesday afternoon to pick up Melissa and Connie from the airport. We decided to spend the night. Mom got a little cat nap in before we picked them up. Once we got them, we went to the Boardwalk and had late dinner at Peaches Corner. Wednesday morning we got up early and…
Jeanne hosted a party at her house this weekend for Carol’s retirement. She’s leaving us to retire and move closer to her kids and grandkids. We are going to miss her terribly, both at work and as a friend. The party started with everyone just hanging around socializing. Dinner was a low country boil that was catered and there was…
I went to Wilmington with some friends to see a play called The Heathers. We first stopped by a hole in the wall Mexican place that we just happened across while walking around. It was tiny but good.

Instead, we went to the water and watched them from…
This weekend I had a bunch of fun with some friends. Friday, we had ladies night out/birthday dinner. We were missing Lindsay (because she was sick). We enjoyed a delicious dinner at Oliver’s on the waterfront. After dinner, we walked to American Fish where we had a drink and listened to some live music. Next, we walked over to The…
We made a quick trip to Rockingham for Father’s Day. It was the first time we have taken both pups since the day we got them. I was very excited to see how they did in the pool. Moose absolutely LOVED the pool. Him and Thor played nonstop in and out of the pool. Anna enjoyed the pool also. Her…
