This weekend I made a short trip to Rockingham to hang out with mom and dad. Got there Saturday around lunch and left Sunday late afternoon. Saturday, I made some Wallaby Darneds, my mom made pico de Gallo, and we spent 7 hours hanging out by the pool drinking and snacking. Sunday, my brother and his family came over in…
Friday night Scott and I hung out with our friends Liz and Daniel. We rode down to American Fish to enjoy the evening, a few drinks, and live music. After spending some time there, we walked over to the new bar in town, The Mullet. It is also a completely outdoor bar right on the water. We stayed there for…
Haha. No, Mack didn’t attack anyone or get attacked. We just seem to take a lot of pictures of him (even though he thinks the camera steals his soul) so I thought I could make a post of just Mack pictures. We are so happy to be his new home! He just fits right in. He has learned our routines,…
July is a big time of year for Southport. Last year all NC 4th of July Festival events were canceled. This year, a lot of the events were held but most of them were held on Oak Island instead of in Southport. The parade was canceled and the 4th of July fireworks were held on Oak Island also. We have…
Finally….we were able to attend our Taco and Tequila festival. Tickets were purchased in 2019 for a March 2020 event. But…COVID happened.

Mom and dad came for a visit this weekend with Talon and Tinley. We had a good visit. We spent the day at the beach on Saturday. We went for several bike rides around town, including a trip to get ice cream. Talon rode on the tandem with Scott and Tinley rode in Mack’s trailer! It was fun for everyone.…
My cousin Melissa and her family finally made it for a visit! They were supposed to come last year but stupid COVID canceled them. It was so good to see them and hang out. We ate lots of seafood, spent lots of time on the beach, kayaked for sharks teeth, played games, went sailing, and did some catching up. Finally….ALL…
We hosted a belated Easter party at the house last weekend. 1st Annual Hippity Hoppity Eggstravaganza. We had a nacho bar for dinner and lots of games to keep us entertained.
