This year we returned to Arkansas for our family reunion. 2017 was the last time that we were there. We also determined that 50 years ago was the first time the family vacationed there. We were missing more people than normal this time, but we had a blast all the same. Also, it was the first trip here without Nana.…
This weekend, my parents and my brother and his family came down to visit to celebrate my brother’s birthday. Friday evening we had a fiesta with tacos, nachos, fajitas, and all the fixin’s. After dinner we all hung out in the driveway, listening to music, drinking, laughing, playing games, riding the scooter, and just chatting. It was a very enjoyable…
This weekend I took off with some friends and coworkers to head to north Georgia for some whitewater rafting and hiking adventures. We left after work on Friday (thankfully we were able to leave early) and arrived at our location about 6:30pm. After checking into our hotel, our first order of business was to find a place to eat. We…
I have made a few visits home to Rockingham lately for different reasons. First, I went home for my dad’s birthday. We went to dinner at a mexican restaurant. While we were there we ran into Denise, a long time family friend. After dinner, we swung by her place and picked her up to come back and play games and…
We had a low key game night and tried a couple of ”new” games for us. As always, lots of fun and laughs. We went to dinner at the local mexican restaurant for Cinco de Mayo. They had festive chips with their salsa. We even got Mack into the spirit by wearing a sombrero and poncho. Here are a few…
Southport had a festival at the waterfront today to celebrate the 100th anniversary of their Model T fire truck. It was a beautiful day for us to take Mack for a walk down to check everything out. We go to see lots of different fire trucks, old cars, new cars, and Southport’s model T fire truck. Later in the afternoon…
We held a St Patrick’s Day themed game night. For our food, we made it a dip night. Everyone brought some sort of dip and something to dip in it. There was both sweet and savory. We played a few new games and a few old ones, but as always, we had a ton of fun. We had a ”green…
One year ago I responded to a Facebook post made by a friend I made while working in Maine. She knew people who had a dog that needed a new family and when I saw the post, I knew we had to have him. We met with the family and they called a few days later and said they chose…
I’ve been to 2 birthday parties recently. The first one was for my friend Malissa’s 50th birthday. A good group of friends got together for some food, drinks, games, and laughs. The second party was for my friend Liz’s 40th birthday. I hosted it at my house. We started with some drinks at American Fish, the weather was sunny and…

We had prizes for Best Dressed Male, Best Dressed Female, and Cheapest Outfit. Out of all of the attendees, Carolina was the only one that actually made it…
