I walked down to meet my friends for the 4th of July parade. We had set our stuff out to save our spot a few days prior. We had a nice sized group this year. After the parade, a couple of us walked through town to check out the festival. We stopped at CapeSide Brewing and a few shops and…
I made a quick overnight trip to Rockingham to hang with the family for a Father’s Day pool day. Early in the morning, mom and I got up to head on a Mother/Daughter adventure. Mom just retired a couple of weeks ago and I wanted to take her on a special trip to celebrate. The trip was a surprise to…
Seven states and 2,040 miles was our trip to Arkansas. The van was set up with a queen sized platform so they could travel comfortably. We drove the first day about 11 hours and stopped for the night in Alabama. Before we tucked in for the night, we took the dogs for a walk at some Indian mounds that were…
Started May off with dinner in Wilmington with my “January Friends” at a nice waterfront restaurant. After dinner, we walked the riverwalk, had a drink in a bar, and went on a walking ghost tour. The dinner and company were a lot of fun. The ghost tour was sadly, kind of a snooze fest. Oh well…you live and you learn.…
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.
