Friday, March 13, 2026 Our whole family woke up at Benjin’s house – which is good because that is where we all went to sleep. It was winding to beat the band. Garbage cans were everywhere in the street. Big day of wind before BIG snow is coming Sunday. We were all snug as bugs. […]

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

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.

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
