Papa’s World – Just looking around!

We have had snow twice in the almost six years we have been in S.C. and N.C. –

And this is a picture of the sunset for the first time!

It was not much – maybe three inches, but with the sun –

Quickly turned to ice and was gone in five days!

This is the back yard –

This year, we had a freak storm cyclone –

That is what they called it, and it came right up the coast from the South.

They even had snow in Northern Florida!

FIFTEEN INCHES is what we got in twenty-four hours.

And the wind was terrible –

Causing it to drift in places to three feet!

I thought we had left this all behind in NVA and WNY!

We did not even own a snow shovel!

I DO NOT LIKE SNOW AND ICE!

This is my idea of winter in the Carolinas!

Dress warm, and when the sun comes out –

Remove layers as it gets warmer, and it does do that!

I can live with that!

Walking on the beach as long as it is not windy-

The sand STINGS your face.

On a walk at the OIB community center in February-

About 50 degrees in the sun, but felt warmer.

So far, we love the weather of the Carolinas!

On the island of OIB-

Free Friday night music concerts from the end of May to the end of September.

Here, the seating area is starting to fill up.

You can take your own food and drinks-

The drinks can not be in a glass!

The music is good and lasts about two hours.

AND, IT IS FREE!

Friday night concerts at OIB!

Other towns nearby have their own free concerts on different nights!

A favorite place for us to go and grab a coffee or tea is Causeway 59 –

Situated just after you exit the causeway bridge to OIB!

There are three restaurants here and a marina.

We sit here and watch the boats come in to refill or to eat at the restaurants.

This is all just off the ICW, which has access to the ocean.

Just a quiet little place and good food!

For enhanced IMMUNE systems.

We had always dreamed of living near a beach!

Today, we live near three of them, and two more are 30 to 45 minutes away.

Papa’s World – Times – Places remembered.

We have this little spot we go to for coffee and tea and sometimes food!

It is right across the OIB Causeway bridge!

The name is “59 CAUSEWAY GRILL” and sits right on the water of the boat marina!

Inside is a small bar area,

And we have noticed this to be a meeting place for the locals!

While here for breakfast one morning prior to a storm front moving in –

About 6 or 7 couples filtered in.

They seemed to all know each other and the bartender!

It was close to noon, and they all ordered drinks!

The conversations were lively and interesting.

The Causeway Bridge to Ocean Isle Beach.

59 Causeway Grill – the first turn to the left –

Turn left as soon as you enter the road and pass the Gas-Station Store – “SHEFFIELDS” –

Then right into the parking area, and you have arrived!

Beyond 59 Causeway Grill is “SHARKEYS BAR AND RESTAURANT” –

And then OBI FISH COMPANY bar and restaurant.

All three are good local places to eat and drink!

Sherry is inside the dining area next to the bar-

Talking with the bartender before the crowd came in.

He was seated on a bar chair, eating his lunch.

He was familiar with the areas we had lived in WNY and NVA!

Most of the folks down here are transplants from other areas, and we find a lot of people who know the area –

Where we are from.

The glider and sign on our front covered porch!

The sun is setting –

Our neighborhood is quiet-

Once again, we had ventured to the island –

Had breakfast-lunch at 59 Causeway Grill!
