We were packed to the ceiling in the car
and on top – it was also packed.
We had to have five months worth of “STUFF”
as we had rented a condo in North Myrtle Beach
for that period of time.
But first – a stop for a surprise birthday party!

Our friends in Magnolia Greens – just outside Leland N.C.
A 15 minute drive to downtown Wilmington N.C.
Buck – was turning 70!

He had no idea we were coming!
We were neighbors starting in 1986
we had known them before that

Being retired – Buck – Sherry and myself
It does not matter about the weekend.
However – Cindy – the youngster of the group
still works!
But – that did not stop her from inviting us to stay
until we moved into the condo
the following Thursday!
And we played golf three different times!

We celebrated Buck’s birthday the whole time we were there!
Her specialty is making Moscow Mules!
And she grows her own mint!

We also have always had a golf challenge
Guys vs. Gals.
And we do this also with other close friends.
So – over the course of five days
we played three times
a total of 45 holes of golf!


And we brought some wine with us
Now – I am not so much for wine
but this was a anniversary issue from Coopers Hawk
and I did find it to be to my tasting!

They have a beautiful new home that Cindy designed
and was part of every single step in the process!



And the 27 hole golf course right across the pond.
I have always loved it here
and it is on my bucket list of places to move to.
Time will tell –

A surprise birthday party
golfing with friends
a few drinks and laughs
at a lovely home and great friends.

Thank you for reading Papa’s World
WHERE FRIENDS MEET THE FAMILY
and in this case
FRIENDS ARE FAMILY!
