Today, I went with my friend Lecy to the Mount Olive Pickle Festival in Mount Olive, North Carolina. It was the 40th year for the festival and the 100th year for Mount Olive making pickles. I made us fun shirts to wear (which we were complimented on several times) and made a pair of pickle earrings for Lecy. There were…
Scott and I decided to take advantage of having a weekday off together and we went to Greenfield Lake in Wilmington to ride the paddle boats. It was an absolutely beautiful day. We got there as soon as they opened and it’s a good thing because the boats rented out immediately. We paddled around for 2 hours taking in the…
I drove back to Rockingham for the weekend for a 2 for 1 visit. First stop was a new restaurant in Hamlet where I reunited with some old coworkers and friends for dinner! It’s never a dull moment with this crowd. After dinner, I went to stay with my parents. It was also my dad’s birthday, which was the second…
My Aunt Connie and mom came down and the three of us took off to Beaufort, NC. It was rainy and kinda cool when we got there so we just drove around checked the place out. We ended up stoping at a bar for a quick drink. There wasn’t much else to do because of the weather so we found…
Yay for another snow day! We had a nice amount of it, only it was so light and dry, it was not good for building snowmen or making snowballs. At least when we went out early. Scott and I got up really early and went out for a walk to the waterfront so I could get pics before everyone got…
Tried a new restaurant with my friends Chelsea and Lindsey. The food was good and the company was better. Finally got a group together to have a game night at the house. Lots of laughs and fun as always.
We decided to test out our set up for camping in the van. We were supposed to join up with some friends of ours, but they came down with the flu the night before we left. So, we went anyways. We hopped on the ferry and headed to Carolina Beach State Park. It was a super cold night but we…
December was a busy month. Pretty sure every weekend had something going on, between parties, winterfest activities, and traveling to my parent’s. I was invited to a Christmas game night with some friends. We always have a good time together. Dr. Kelso worked his last day with us before retiring at the end of the month. We will miss him.…
I enrolled in the community college this semester to take a stained glass class. I have been trying to find someone to make a stained glass panel for me for awhile so I figured why not just learn to do it myself. They opened a night class, so I signed up. I am really enjoying it. Now that I know…
Traveled to Blowing Rock, NC this weekend with my friends Chelsea, Jen, and Lindsay. We rented a cute little place that was pretty central to the places we would be visiting. We arrived at 1159pm on Thursday. After unpacking, we called it a day and went to bed. Friday morning we got up, made breakfast, and headed out to Grandfather…
