My mom and I had a mother and daughter adventure down to Florida last week. We used to have a “girls weekend” every year when my nana would come stay with us. We haven’t been on one since she passed. We had some set in stone plans and we had some figure it out when we get there plans, but…
I’ve been trying to stay busy with different activities because it feels so different at home without my buddy Mack. My friend Liz’s son was playing basketball for Southport Parks and Rec so we went to some of the games to cheer him on. It was very enjoyable and quite entertaining to watch this age group play. Liz, Carolina, and…
Mackworth came in to our lives on March 14th, 2021. While it was a bittersweet moment for his previous family, Carolynn and I could not have been happier. His look coming home was one of “what is going on?”, but he managed to shrug it off and sleep during the 5 hour trip back to Southport. Once we got back,…
We had a relatively low key New Years this year. Scott and I hung out and did things around the house for most of the day. Later in the evening, we hoped on the golf cart and headed to the Tiki Tavern for their New Years celebrations. They had a good DJ, dancing, and the people watching is always fun.…
It was once again time for my mom and I to have our annual Christmas cookie baking extravaganza. We spend ALL day measuring, mixing, baking, melting, and dipping. There are a few recipes that are constants and a few new ones we tried this year. We added an eggnog mini Bundt cake to the plate this year and it was…
We celebrated Mack’s birthday this weekend by taking him to Unleashed and letting him pick out a snack. We also got him special birthday cookies. One to have at home and one to have on his actual birthday at my moms. He also got a new stuffed toy, a reindeer. I can’t tell you how much we adore him. I…
Southport held its annual Winterfest this week. One of the events was pet photos with Santa so of course we took Mack. He did so good waiting for his turn with lots of other dogs around. They also had a kissing booth set up. He wasn’t crazy about it but he tolerated it. We also went to check out the…
Friday night was Wades Jewelers annual block party. Scott and I went and then Carolina met us there. We enjoyed a couple glasses of wine and listened to the band for a little bit. Our Christmas party was once again held at Craig’s house this year. This time we did not have to leave early unexpectedly. There was lots of…
We had a change of plans for Thanksgiving weekend and we ended up going to my parent’s house. We drove up in the morning to hang out for a bit before dinner. We were back in Southport late Friday. Saturday we spent the day at American Fish with some friends for their customer appreciation day. They had several bands play…
This year Wingtoberfest had to be postponed due to a hurricane so we held it in November. Our crowd this year was a little smaller than planned but it was fun all the same. We ate lots of food, played games outside, drank, and laughed a lot. Nicole was the winner of the best wing competition. After it got dark…
