A day in Southport and Wilmington

Mal and I took a day trip up to Southport where the movie Safe Haven was filmed.  Great day, ate
at the restaurant where the film was done.

We went onto the ferry to cross over to Wilmington area and walked the boardwalk. decided to go back the same way on ferry but we did go about Wilmington a bit.  A great day...

I had bacon wrapped shrimp, roasted potatoes and beans....delicious Mal had shrimp and scallops which he enjoyed.

Drove around the area and spotted the building they used in movie.

Valentines day

Lunch at Olive Garden today, thought it would be easier than supper time, wear off those calories after, lol  We did eat lots of salad and we had a shrimp dish with vegetables and pasta.

After a walk around Barefoot, the resort where we stay and lots of changes happening.  New

stores opening and lots of construction and one of our favorite places there, Blueberry grill.

We got locked out of condo when we returned, called landlord and I guess they change the code every month and she sent us a email but computer inside condo, lol  went to Managers office and

got a new code, took a few tries but we finally got in.  Paula and Laurie almost had all night company. lol

Well I had a lovely birthday at Carrabba's restaurant, my favorite meal Lobster Ravoli and it was delicious.  Gary and Liz, Paula and Laurie joined us for a great evening. 

Had lots of birthday wishes, facetime with family and good wine, and happy hour lol  what more could you ask for.

Back at healthy eating now and walks.   

Myrtle beach

Well we arrived the first of February and settled in, Mac has had 3 games the first week and I have had my little tour of the town and ready for a fun few months.  A lot of renovations made to our condo this year by owner, new carpets, lights, decorations, and sunroom.  Looks great.  Below a few
pictures of the gang going out for Mac's first day of golf.

Found an old album of Mom's , had lots of pictures in it and wanted to see a few on to my cousins of
their family that were taken probably by Mom.

Funny I can remember so much of my life as a young girl but seems like later memories after we left our home
town and started our adventures in different cities, and provinces, time flew and here we are almost 70. 

Enjoy these years for sure doing what you want, life is short.  Keep those memories alive.

Memories of my mom

Today my cousin Brenda wrote me and sent a photo of my Mom as a young girl in her aunts wedding, mom is the child on the right, her cousins standing up in the wedding of my great aunt Pearl to her husband Lee murchison, what a gift to receive .  I never had a photo of mom as a young girl. Thank you Brenda so much.

The second photo is the Royal Hotel back probably in the 40’s And believe it or not it’s as I remember the front entrance back in my early years in the 50’s.  I remember entering the front door and to the right a small canteen with newspapers out front, right to the left of that canteen through a door was the switchboard operated by one lady and I was so amazed at how she transferred those calls through to rooms, dining room etc.

Now I show you the menu at the dining room and believe me it was quite the dining room.  The prices will amaze you.
