sequence night....






It was another fun night playing sequence and finally the gals caught up to the guys....25-25 games to date. 

Also planning their golf game for tomorrow after so much rain and carts could go onto course without a problem.

Anitha anxious to see her long time friend Sashu flying in from Ontario for a weeks visit.  Lots of catching up for those two. lol

Duplin Winery










It was a cold miserable day so we decided to do a tour of the winery, new to the area this year. It was something different to do and something interesting and fun.  Cost was $5.00 a person or $10.00 if you wanted a dip to go with the crackers (made on site) and a full glass of wine at the end of the tour.

A lovely gift shop , a fudge counter with as many samples as you would like to have, of course I was back a second time. lol 

We were called to the bar and served 13 different samples (Mouthfuls)  to see what your favorite was along with a history of each.

Now after the samples and that full glass of wine here are the tasters:

Rain for Myrtle Beach





 
Good morning......well the golfers got out for 2 games of golf but rest of this week does not
look good at all, calling for rain for 3 days. 
 
We did lots of shopping looking for bargains and dispite the American dollar we did get a few good buys. 
 
We took the garbage to the bin and Laurie finds a full bottle of turtle car cleaner sitting there, now who else would find that other than Laurie who heads to the car cleaning dept in Walmart every visit. lol 
 
Heading to Anitha and Rama's tonight to play sequence.

Arrived in Myrtle Beach


 
 




Well we arrived with good weather all the way, our first nights stay was in Sturbridge at the Publick Inn which we found through the hotel book we stop and get each year at the information stops along the way.  It was very different but very interesting .

The Inn is 240 years old and has a unique charm , walking through the many walkways can be a challenge but has lots of interesting features like a bakery on bottom floor which offers a bun and coffee in the morning before you hit the road.  I was quite surprised how many locals hit the spot at 7 in the morning for a coffee fix.

We continued our journey not realizing it was presidents day weekend and looking for a hotel was next to impossible at 5 in the evening....After many attempts we found a place at Sleep Inn , Staunton, VA, a place we never stayed before but it was a great place at a good price.

Arrived in Myrtle Beach at 2:30 Saturday...........Still chilly but warmer than I hear New Brunswick is getting right now. 

No plans to shop BUT.... those Presidents day sales were so good I had to get a few goodies.

Check in again next week .......

I have a little Satnav, it sits there in my car. A Satnav is a driver's friend it tells you where you are. I have a little Satnav, i've had it all my life. It's better than the normal ones, my Satnav is my wife.
It gives me full instructions, especially how to drive "It's sixty miles an hour", it says, "You're doing sixty five". It tells me when to stop and start, and when to use the brake And tells me that it's never ever, safe to overtake.
It tells me when a light is red, and when it goes to green It seems to know instinctively, just when to intervene. It lists the vehicles just in front, and all those to the rear. And taking this into account, it specifies my gear.
I'm sure no other driver, has so helpful a device. For when we leave and lock the car, it still gives its advice. It fills me up with counselling, each journey's pretty fraught. So why don't I exchange it, and get a quieter sort?
Ah well, you see, it cleans the house, makes sure I'm properly fed. It washes all my shirts and things, and keeps me warm in bed!
Despite all these advantages, and my tendency to scoff, I only wish that now and then, I could turn the bugger off.

Retirement PARTY for Margaret





 
 
Pat was invited on Sunday evening to the retirement party from one of her fellow employees
and was not going to go until the girls told her to bring me along.  So along I went, lol  and had
a lovely time.  The girls were very friendly and I had a great time and another great meal. CHINESE..
 
After they presented Margaret with her gifts they forgot to mention to a few girls that it was not
the Christmas ornament exchange originally planned for that night so they brought them along and gave them to Margaret who decided she could wear them as earrings. lol
 
Anyone who knows Pat knows she has a fear of dogs but I was very surprised when we went to
let Charlie out (her doggie grandbaby) well Pat has come a long way.....haha
