We spent the first 50 years of our lives in NWPA and WNY!

Here – from left to right –

My friends and neighbors!

Jimmy – from the same town I grew up in, NWPA!

We played softball together and worked together!

Mike – our next-door neighbor in WNY in Portville!

We played many funny tricks on each other, and he and his wife still live in WNY!

Buck – another neighbor in Portville – who was the first to leave and go South to N.C.

He and Cindy – his wife –

Have traveled the world with us!

Today, they live but 38 miles from us.

They are the main reason we came to N.C.

Some HUMOR for today!

Here is where we came in 2020 after selling our home in Brambleton, VA.

This is a three-bedroom, two-bath condo on the fourth floor with two elevators right outside this door.

The view through those glass sliding doors –

Overlooks a large lake with fountains and is a half mile long, and a walk to the beach entrance-

In Ocean Keyes – North Myrtle Beach.

Where those glass sliding doors are – to the right is another set off the master bedroom –

And is a completely screened-in lanai with fantastic views.

We were very happy here and once thought of buying here!

But – no garage and limited storage space.

Here we are on the beach in Winter on a warm day!

Our WHY for moving South-

Hardly any snow and ice!

The heat does not bother us so much-

You can walk the beach in summer, and the surf and breezes are all we need!

We spent nine months here –

At first, searching for houses for sale.

But soon found out that anything we could afford also needed updating!

So – we found a community just North across the border into N.C.

We could build cheaper and get everything we wanted!

So, we signed and spent the rest of the nine months here enjoying NMB and the area!

Our new home shortly after we moved in.

Eight miles to the border of S.C.

Shopping – entertainment all around us.

38 miles from our close friends, the McBrides!

Three beaches, 10 to 20 minutes from us!

In the middle of about 30 golf courses.

A brand new community and loads of new friends.

In the years since-

Old friends from NVA have moved down here, and we meet every so often.

My H.S. buddy and wife-

is here now, nine miles away, for a one-year lease to see if they like the area year-round-

After the past six plus years of RV living up and down the coast and out West!

The younger grandkids and family love it here and visit often!

The oldest grandkids and parents also love coming here!

We now volunteer for the protection of Sea Turtles on OIB! PERMIT 25st02!

We choose to live here –

Aging during our SENIOR YEARS –

And for the past twenty-plus years –

Taking a supplement to help us age as HEALTHILY as we can.

Now, a drink that provides 30 fruits and vegetables to absorb directly into the bloodstream.

Nationally recognized in the health and nutrition industry –

It has been sold in the USA and 27 countries and has been in business for almost FORTY years!

Our HEALTH SUPPLEMENT OF CHOICE FOR OVER TWENTY YEARS!

Enjoying our retirement and Senior Years!
