Thursday, March 12, 2026 We left Nancy’s and headed to Benjamin’s about 4:30. Bye, Nancy! We had a great laughing visit. We sat on the couch with Benjamin and visited for about an hour. The couch makes you face the front door with its frosted pane. I saw a shadow approaching and announced that someone […]

It’s smoking!!”Ohhhh. “Turn off the power part thing in the basement.” (I am excellent with specifics)“I don’t know where it is, which one it

Tuesday, March 10, 2026 I came up this morning and Keith was all set up for work! It was like olden days! He is talking with former coworkers about a temporary/contract/full-time/part-time/? job, so I actually thought he was doing work about maybe doing work. He was arranging a song for brass band. 🙂 I went

Monday, March 9, 2026 We were home a whole day, so we felt it was time to hit the road. We drove to Waukesha. We arrived and the sisters were sitting in the glorious sun on the 70-degree day. We stayed out until the sun went down, then sat at the kitchen table and LAUGHED

Sunday, March 8, 2026 The boy sitting in front of me at the show tonight had big hair. The show was really good. The cast was full of powerhouse singers. The animal puppets were awesome. The sets were minimal yet brought me to a different place. The circus performers were GREAT! I really appreciated being

Saturday, March 7, 2026 Our flight left half an hour before Gary and Julie’s. Our second plane, out of Atlanta, was delayed an hour, so we had plenty of time to visit the lounge. The food situation was strange. There was a nice salad bar set up, with 4-inch plates. Tricky. There was plain rice.

Friday March 6, 2026 It was sunny fog again today for our last Myrtle Beach day. Keith has been wanting to eat at Johnny D’s since we got here (it was right by the entrance to our last hotel) so today was the day. Julie won with her order of a shrimp and crab omelet

Thursday, March 5, 2026 It’s Nancy’s birthday! Happy birthday!! I went down to the beach mid-morning to call the birthday girl. The forecast called for fog today, which seemed weird because fog goes away when the sun shines on it. Except apparently not in Myrtle Beach, because it was foggy all day. I really like

Wednesday, March 4, 2026 We took another trolley tour today – instead of music and movies and Myrtle Beach, this was history and the WWII years. A lot of U-boats were off the east coast after Pearl Harbor, and although that attack was widely reported, the submarines were kept quiet so as not to tip

Tuesday, March 3, 2026 Stepping out of our room’s door to the railing gives you the POTD view. It’s cool. And scary. We enjoyed the Blueberry restaurant for brunch today. Gary tried chicken and waffles for the first time (two thumbs up). It was at an area called Barefoot Landing and Keith brought this picture
