Traveling

I don't like to travel in rain,but our time was up at the Wishing Well Campground.  So yesterday with it raining a good stream we were off and going.

It didn't take to see why I don't like traveling in rain. About 15 miles into the trip we came upon this accident at an intersection.  Some people never slow down in rain or snow or no matter what the weather is like.  There is a caution light here but it didn't make any difference.

We drove and drove on the American Indian Highway for a long time.
Seeing corn fields after corn fields.

Something was burning in the distance.  We never did get close enough to see what it was.  Maybe they were clearing off a field?

We had very little in the frig,so we stopped at this place in Norwood,NC.  I really didn't want a pizza or sub,but its better than nothing.

Besides it had a good place to park.  After getting inside we saw they had a full menu of other things.  We ordered up a very good chicken stry-fry plate with rice. It was a good tasting choice.
Atfer traveling 190 miles for the day we parked overnight at the Walmart in Salisbury,NC

Crowds

The weekend thus far has been slow.  Nancy is not feeling like doing much.
We did get out yesterday to go shopping and I filled up the as tank in the car at Sams Club for $3.12 a gallon. Then on the way back to the motorhome I sa a couple of place where the gas had dropped to $3.06. I've had that happen to me more times then I want to remember. We were going to shop for a few things at Sam's,but decided to go to Walmart instead.  Bad idea,now I know why I don't like to get out on weekends. It's two or three times as bad in a tourist place. People wall to wall and why do they leave their shopping cart on one side of ailse and stand and look at things on the other side,blocking the whole aisle?  Anyway we did get thru all of that.
We are slowly getting the motorhome ready for travel again as we are leaving tuesday to make our way northwest.
Have a good day.    

Summertime

Looking out the front windshield of the motorhome yesterday morning sure looked good with the sun shining.  It looked so good that we got ready after breakfast and took off for the beach.

Looks like everyone had the same idea of the nice sunny day.  The beach was full of people.  I guess with the price o gas coming down more people are going on vacations.

It was still a little windy,so the waves had nice white caps on them.  Walking the beach in the water we noticed how much warmer the water was than it was a couple of weeks ago.  Looks like summer time is here.  Summer time,it was down right hot.
After a few hours we came back home and I grill and made hot dogs.
Yeah its summertime with burgers and hot dogs being grilled.
Good to see you again and thanks for visiting.  

Doing the laundry

Yesterday was the day to do the clothes again.  So it was off to Shallotte to the laundromat. I planned on grilling and making some hot dogs when I got back home,but Nancy reminded me that she is not crazy about hot dogs. So I stopped at Hills Grocery to buy every thing to grill some burgers.  After grilling the burgers and putting cheese on them while they were still on the grill,we had a very good cheese burger and chips. The rest of the evening was watching the tv and computer time.
Thanks for coming by and do drop in again.

Running Around

The last few days we have been out shopping. Nancy has been looking for a few new things to wear and I've been along for the ride.  She has picked up a few things then the next day she we have been taking them back,so we have been eating out.
Monday we had spaghetti at Kings Famous Pizza.  The spaghetti was very good and the service was also,a good place to eat.

Yesterday we were somewhere between North Myrtle Beach and Cherry Grove Beach on main street and eat at Hoskins. We always like to try new placesand passing Hoskins Restaurant saw a lot of cars in the parking lot so we stopped. This is a good place to eat as the locals eat here.  They have a daily special.

After eating we went out to the beach. We have not been here before and they have a nice long beachside with parking all up and down the beachside.

Wild flowers along the beach,growing in the dunes.

A good couple of days.   Thanks for stopping.
Do come back and have a good day.

Have a Great Weekend

WOW,this hanging around and being lazy could be habit forming.  Actually I've been reading and trying to learn about the new Android phone that I bought the other day. Like I told my daughter. Need to find a 6 or 7 year old kid and they could tell me all about it.  Suchs I had trouble changing from a rotary dail to a push button phone.  The new phones will do everything except tie your shoes.  Things get really complicated for us old folks.  I remember when the old tv started acting up all you had to do was go up and  give it a good whack and the picture. No more,the antenna has to be turned just right or you don't get nothing.
I hope you have a great weekend and remember what this country is about and how we got that way.  Don't let anyone take it away.

Taking it Easy

Things have slowed down  since Mark and Sherry have gone back home.
We are no longer in a vacation mode. Where we have to do things in a short time limit.  We are now in our slow mode of living.  Even though we had fun going with Mark and Sherry,it just wears us old folks out.
Yesterday was a busy day going to the laundromat and then grocery shopping.
The holiday weekend may not be so good with people coming to the beach.  There is a storm system just off the coast and it may produce rain and wind.  So we may sit inside,relax and let the crowd have the beach.  It is nice that we can take our time to do things. 
We forgot to take our medicine bottles in yesterday for refills so back 7 miles  to Shallotte Walmart today.     

They're Gone

Well yesterday Mark and Sherry went back to West Virginia. Their flight was scheduled to leave at 2:00 but due to the storms in the area it didn't leave until after 6:00.  Sherry said the wait wasn't very bad becaus the airport has free WiFi and she watched a movie on her computer. Mark did the driving to the airport and I got to snap pictures along the way.

Myrtle Beach has a little of everything. Bargain stores.

Golf courses around every corner.

Minature golf courses.

Want to see live reptiles?

How about one of the many shows?

Maybe a dinner theater?  Enough to keep you busy or just taking it easy on the beach. 
We sure enoyed having Mark and Sherry and just wished they could have stayed longer.
Thanks for coming this way and stopping in.

One More Day

Yesterday the clouds turned into sunshine,nice,bright and hot.  We got ready and off to the beach.  Sherry was glad because it wwas her last day.  Mark and Sherry went back home to West Virginia today.

People where enjoying the sun.  This fella didn't even get up to see the sightseeing boat  coming up the beach.

It was so hot that in a short time in the sun I got under the pier in the shade where it was much cooler.  Everyone enjoyed the time we had on the beach.  Mark and Sherry enjoyed their time here.

Sunny Day

I guess everyone woke up hungry yesterday morning,because we went out to eat.  Sherry and Mark had told us about the Sunny Side Up and how good it was so that's where we went. The buffet was good.

We were not the only ones hungry.  These little birds were also.  The nest was above the entrance to the restaurant and out of the weather.

These little mouths were open to more food.  The male and female bird were busy putting food into those mouths.
After we got back to the motorhome we waited a couple of hours then it was to the beach.  This was the first time in 4 or 5 days that it didn't rain so we enjoyed the sunny day we had.
Have a good day and come back.

Yesterday we were out and about.  We started out to look for the old town of Brunswick,but somehow didn't find it. So we headed to Holden Beach to see what it looked like.  We passed several place where people were beside the road selling their wares.

There is a long curved bridge over to the beachside.

A good view from top of the bridge.

The house are constructed different than on Oak Island. Holden Beach looks more modern than Oak Island. So you have a choice of what you like.
 

The beach area is nice.  Again I have to say we had a nice day.
Thanks for dropping in.
