Moose turns 1
For his birthday, we took him to Unleashed to get a special treat and birthday cookie. Can’t believe he’s 1 already. He gets neutered at the end of this month. He is going to be such a good big boy!
Cape Fear Kite Festival
Scott and I had to run some errands in Wilmington so on the way back we stopped in Fort Fisher to check out the kite festival. It appeared as if there were less kites than last year. They are pretty neat to watch.
Stede Bonnet
This year my friends Jay and Chelsea once again decided to use their sailboat for the annual Stede Bonnet sailboat race. Jay, Chelsea, and I started the morning with breakfast at Saucy Southerner and then went down to Provision for the Captain’s meeting. It is here that we got our morning cocktails and our start times and race course. Once…
Halloween
This year we went to Grissettown for their haunted forest/house with our friends Lecy and Barr. We enjoyed it very much and only screamed a couple of times. Afterwards we went for a drink at a restaurant on the water near their house. I did the Southport witch bike ride again this year and was able to stay until the…
Dogs
Here are a bunch of pictures of Moose and Anna! We found this really neat park on the SC/NC border. Girl’s Night! We tried a new restaurant in Southport, Southern: A Gathering Place. It was way too grown up for my taste but I had a great meal and great company. Scott and I took the ferry home after running…
Weekend of Ball
This weekend I attended several ball games. Thursday, I left after work to drive to Pinehurst to watch my nephew Talon play in a JV football game for Pincrest HS. I was so very proud to see him out there! Can’t believe he’s already in high school. I also enjoyed being entertained in the stands by my nieces Taylor and…
Potential Tropical Cyclone 8
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…
Adult Girl’s Weekend 2024
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…
Carol’s Retirement Party
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…
Girl’s Nights and Pups
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. We still had some time before the play so we decided to walk to another restaurant to have a drink. While we…
