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…

This week we celebrated National Sterile Processing Week. We couldn’t do what we do without them. I am lucky to work with some of the best. We put together a gift package for them and wrapped them in ”sterile” peel packs and wrapped them up like they have to wrap our instrument trays.
Hoptoberfest had to get postponed by a week due to Hurricane Ian. Half of my friends that were going could attend the new date due to other plans. I still went and had a great time with those of us that were there. Mack and I were enjoying the beautiful weather.
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…
