Never know who you will meet from Miramichi




 
Usually if your home and you make a trip to Costco you will find a few Miramichi people roaming around but who would have expected to see them in Costco at Myrtle Beach lol....
 
Well the three sisters are down for a week along with a few other family members .  Later Anitha and I decided to stop at Cracker Barrel for a coffee and there rocking on the rocking chairs outside the restaurant was Sharon.... two meetings in one day.
 
While there the younger girls were being interviewed by Myrtle Manor, a tv program similar to Trailer Park Boys....
 
Today is the final work day for our friend Gary Tower, see you down here soon Gary and by the way Happy Birthday too........  
 
Here you see Deb and Kirk delivering groceries to the MacKenney's as they depart..

A day with Neighbour and friend from Miramichi

Wayne McGibbon, Kirk, Mac and Allie

Allie, Kirk, Debbie, Greta, myself and Mac

 
Good morning, well it was so nice to see Allie and Greta Sherrard from Miramichi and send a day
golfing and then supper at the Longhorn steakhouse.  It had been nearly 10 years since we seen them.
We had lived only 2 doors away in Miramichi and remember the great street parties they had at their beautiful home. 
 
  So glad everyone at home ok after the storm and heard from our neighbours that we lost a few shingles off our house, oh well get fixed when we return.
 
Many of our friends are leaving end of month, its been a good month seeing everyone and will miss you all but remember we got to get together in Moncton too....
 
Have a great weekend everyone see you Monday.
 
Read on a blog I enjoy each day.......
 
 
many peoples lives...
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, 
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill, 
When the funds are low and the debts are high, 
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, 
When care is pressing you down a bit, 
Rest, if you must, but don’t you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns, 
As every one of us sometimes learns, 
And many a failure turns about, 
When he might have won had he stuck it out; 
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow– 
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer than 
It seems to a faint and faltering man, 
Often the struggler has given up, 
When he might have captured the victor’s cup, 
And he learned too late when the night slipped down, 
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out– 
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, 
And you never can tell how close you are, 
It may be near when it seems so far, 
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit– 
It’s when things seem worst that you mustn’t quit.

An evening with i



 
Had a good evening with Kirk and Debbie, they also leave the end of month and we are
really going to miss them and Rick and Lucy, its been a great month with them all.  Funny how
we live in the same city but don't get together like we do here but really have to make more effort home.
 
Debbie has achieved a goal which takes a lot of determination and hard work and  is not done yet, Debbie has lost 70 lbs this year, way to go Debbie...........Cannot say congratulations to you enough and you sure have given me encouragement to get myself motivated.  So Sandy don't leave without me for those mornings walks...... lol
 
Kept in touch with the kids all day to see how things were in Moncton, they sure did get a blast of winter. 
 
Rama, Anitha and Koti  arrived home from Pinehurst Resort, had a great time.

trees in bloom....




 
Just spoke with Susan in Riverview and Neil in Saint John on ipod  and no snow yet but they are waiting..... Poor Neil ran out of wood.
 

Morning, not a nice day yesterday started out with rain but what you guys are probably getting home this would be  paradise.....

Well these trees are so beautiful and blossoms do not last long at all so had to get a picture of some, they are everywhere.

While in parking lot of one of my favorite stores (in picture) Belks I seen a truck go by and the front plate said McKenney, had to have a second look and just happened I had camera so snapped a picture. Turns out this is the dealers name.

Quote in picture is "If you live a good honourable life then when you get older and think back you'll enjoy it a second time".....

see ya

It was a evening getting together with Gary and Vivian Steeves from Moncton for a few laughs at
Anitha and Rama's.  They are down for a month and staying right on the beach.
 
Today is sun and I sure hope it stays that way for awhile.  Anitha and Rama are expecting their brother in law Kodi who visits every year to golf  and spend time with everyone away from his work as a physician in Pittsburg.

Sunny day






Hi there, late getting to a blog today went out early this AM for breakfast after golfers left for the course.

We found this packet of buttermilk pancake mix for 55 cents and $1.00 for syrup and enjoy that at home a few mornings with blueberries. Makes 4 good size pancakes.

Took a picture from our balcony, grass still not green out there but coming. 

Invited to Anitha ad Rama's tonight, Gary and Vivian Steeves are coming over to visit them, time is going so fast that before you know it a lot of people will be heading home.

Rick and Lucy headed to Charleston to pick up their family flying in there.

Supper with the gang



 
Supper  was great with Rick and Lucy, Paula and Laurie and we sure had some laughs to boot.
Its funny how so many of us get together down in Myrtle Beach but never seem to have the time at home.
 
Another dull day yesterday weather wise but hopefully sun will shine and the golfers will be able to enjoy the barefoot course till end of month. 
 
Unfortunately bad health has come for some down here meaning back to Canada but hopefully they soon will be well and be able to return next year...
 
Hope our friend Brian in Ontario gets well soon and out of hospital.  Thinking of you.  
 
The second picture here was taken trying out the timer, lol  we didn't think to move a couple of chairs out of the way.....  It was a first so lesson learned..

it was a good St Patricks day





Started a quiet morning then the doorbell rang and I ran into bedroom shoutingI to Malcolm that someone at the door.  I dressed quickly when I heard Paula and Laurie's voice and when I opened the door I laughed my head off when both of them appeared with their green hair and shirts all ready for
breakfast at Spring Garden down the road.

Before long I was having spray put into my hair and put on my green beads to celebrate the day, we got a lot of laughs and comments throughout town, Mr. Mac was not brave enough and kept saying he was Scottish. lol

Dropped into Anitha and Rama's for coffee in afternoon. I knew Anitha would be wearin her green but Rama, shame on you. lol

Kept in touch with Susan back home, she was terribly sick in Halifax, figures food poisioning and someone drove her car home for her, this afternoon she was beginning to feel a bit better.

Till tomorrow....

pool





Am I being heartless here with most 0f you getting snow?  Sorry but had to show you the lovely pool areas behind Anitha and Rama's condo, our pool not open yet for our area.  No problem I can use their pool.

Also a regular sight on the beach are the seagulls who hover down when they think they smell food and boy they land right in front of you and I don't think these gals had anything but some chips.

Paula was due back last night but last word we got is she is storm stayed in Toronto, oh boy she will be upset all by herself in the big city.  I have been waiting to hear from her on ipod.....

later.....

Update: Paula spent the night in airport in Charlotte  arriving in Myrtle Beach this AM. Long long day.

Cold back full outbreak and now Anitha has it..... its been ages since I had a cold darn.

Taking a long weekend.. no photos tomorrow.

Applebees

Rick and Lucy..


 
It was a great evening at Applebees when we went along with Lucy and Rick for supper.
 
We chose a good night as it was Bingo night and even though we didn't play along it was fun to listen to music from the 60's and 70's and watch the young people form the train around the restaurant, they tried to get Rick up put he didn't go that far. lol
 
Golf this morning, Rama didn't go as its Nirupama's last day here and they went out touring around early before her flight after supper.
 
Spoke to Paula on facetime, she is all hooked up and surprised me calling from New Brunswick.
To our son Malcolm have a great day, hope you don't have to shovel your way out today!!

off to the beach....

It was a beautiful day and a chance to hit the beach.  On my way I seen Anitha and Haritha walking, they also were heading to beach so off everyone went.

Aaron went along for a walk with everyone and came back holding a bottle with a message in it, a little hard to read but whoever had written the letter sure could print and draw.  Aaron planned on adding to the message and sending it back to the ocean.

Picked the guys up from golf, decided to go to supper with Rick and Lucy to Applebees...... Laurie decided to stay home and wait for Paula to call.

Golf early in the morning for Wednesday, Rama decided to take a day off..
