I was invited a to Beer Olympic event thrown by a friend of mine. It was a very well thought out event. I was not a participant until someone had to leave, so I filled in for them in a couple of events. There were food dishes from all of the countries represented in the events. It was a beautiful…
Mom, dad, and Thor came down for a weekend visit. Mom, dad, and I went on the Southport Water Tour. It was very informative and enjoyable. You are allowed to bring your own cooler on board so I mixed us up some wallaby darneds and brought them along. We took the pups to the dog park so they had plenty…
My cousin Megan and her family came down for a visit. Sadly, 2 days before they arrived, our upstairs AC unit quit working. It was not something that could be fixed quickly or cheaply. So…we installed a window unit in our office so that two people could stay in there. Everyone else had to have a slumber party downstairs. The…
This year I participated in the annual Oak Island Tide Sit in. I joined a great group of friends and we had lots of laughs. It is a fundraising event for the Sea Turtles. Everyone starts in a single row at the waters edge and the last person sitting wins. It’s amazing how strong the waves are as they roll…

We started this month with a wildfire in Boiling Springs Lake which is only about 7 miles from us. It burned around 1500 acres and luckily no homes were harmed! Also, the wind was blowing in a direction that kept the smoke from us which was nice. Our pups are such snuggle bugs. The gift bags we made and put…
