Beach Friends

With the hurricane "Florence" approaching the east coast and seeming to hone in on SC I'm reminded of the anxiety and preparations. The anxiety sits like a heavy stone in my stomach even today. Some of the best times of our life were the ones at the beach with our friends. Now more are gone, yes died; Cliff, Charlie, Keith, Max, Joe, Lloyd, and others we knew so well. Some remain, like us, but don't travel there any more. The campground permanent resident friend Cindi isn't up to par, Jackie is ill. It can be depressing. Patty and Dave of Ohio are there now and Linda is home recuperating from knee surgeries. Cheryl was to leave to go down but is holding off until the hurricane is gone.

*Four years ago I lamented loosing so many of our friends and here I am again remembering them and others. Sure wish more of you could have had the wonderful relationships we have had with our beach friends. Sure wish I wouldn't fear for the health and welfare of those who are left. I sure wish for a lot - don't I? Well why not! When you are old you reminisce a lot. It happens.

Family Vacation 2018

(A four minute video)

Our neighbors and their family had a grand time on their vacation, posting many wonderful photographs.  I created this movie on my old iMac computer - 24", purchased 10/2/08!  I like the iMovie program on that one much more than the one on my MacBookPro laptop because I understand it better and the screen size is larger with exceptional sound. I did forget to tone down the volume before publishing this but you can manually do it yourself. 

SC Snow Event Remembered

Eight years ago on this date there was snow at the campground in SC where we had a place at the beach. I took many pictures and here are a few.

Winter Woes

For 16 years we traveled to our place in SC three times a year. Our beach campground has seen snow and ice before. We know how it can be and weren't really in awe as some visitors and residents are today. Currently the southern visitors and residents are having winter woes again.  I dug out a few of my photos to show you my memories. I have many more pictures of these two events which we experienced when there during the month of February.
