Hurricane Ian rolled through this week. The yacht basin had some pretty significant flooding, but we were spared any major damage. Luckily a shift in the storm caused us to not get as much rain as originally predicted. We did have some pretty strong winds. Our yard was covered in debris. Mostly leaves and branches. We did have a tree…
This week was National Surgical Technologists Week. Our work family spoiled us all week with food, gifts, and decorations. I feel very lucky to have found such an awesome place to call home and even more lucky to have such a great group of friends to work with on a daily basis. Thanks for a great week.
Danielle and Mikey came down for her birthday weekend for some Southport Shenanagins. Friday we had dinner and then hit up a few bars in town, and ended at the Tiki Tavern. Saturday we got up and hit some neighborhood yard sales. In the afternoon, Mikey, Danielle, and I went to Wilmington to explore some of the breweries. The first…
Another game night in the books. Good food and great fun as always. We were missing a few of the regulars this time, but we had a blast anyways. Bobbie brought us a new game that involved throwing burritos….what could go wrong?
I made a quick trip to Rockingham and had a nice visit with the family. We had our 2nd annual Labor Day Beach Day. Scott and i got there early to get us a nice spot. The others joined us later. We brought lunches and drinks, played games, enjoyed the ocean, and just had a good time.
It was time for another game night. As always, we had so much fun. After the games were over, a few of us continued the party at the Tiki Tavern. We stayed out way passed our bedtimes. haha
Mom, dad, and Rocko came for a visit. While they were here, mom joined my friends and me for dinner and a play about Bingo. I made us fun shirts to wear to the play. Also while they were here we took the pups swimming in the Cape Fear River. Rocko wasn’t too crazy about it. He really hated the…
This weekend we held our 1st annual adult field day party at Nicole and Kim’s house. When i arrived, i saw a sign that said Happy Birthday. I told Scott, ”I don’t know whose birthday it is.” Turns out, my sneaky friends had also planned for this to be the 40th birthday party for me and the 50th birthday party…
Southport is home of the NC 4th of July festival, and since moving here, we have yet to experience a complete one. In 2019, we were here as travelers and they had to cancel the fireworks because of a thunderstorm. In 2020 and 2021 it was cancelled due to Covid. There was lots of anticipation leading up to this year’s…
On our way home from Arkansas, we stopped by our friend Eileen’s house in Hayesville, NC on Lake Chatuge. We were joined by our other friends from when we lived in FL. Karen, Alan, Dina, Mike, and Susan. The last time Karen, Dina, and I were at Eileen’s at the same time was 2017. It was so good to be…
