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…
Happy New Year! We brought in the New Year with a party at our house. The theme was thrift shop elegant. We were supposed to buy our outfits from a thrift shop. 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…
We took Mack to Unleashed to have his photos taken with Santa. While we were there, we used the gift card he won for the Halloween contest to get him a few toys. This year I was able to participate in the Southport Christmas bicycle parade. This time they made it bicycles and golf carts. When we got there, there…
Happy birthday to Mack! The BIG 10! We have only had him for 9 months, but that has been more than enough time for him to steal our hearts. He is such a good boy. Today he got to take multiple naps (including one with me), and enjoy some special birthday treats. The local pet store sells some dog friendly…
For Thanksgiving, we headed up to Murphy to spend some time with Scott’s parents and one of his sisters. The drive is long and boring, but the visits are always worth it. On the way up there, we came across this car fire. The fire truck got there right before we passed it. As we drive by, we could feel…
