First they saw the breaking of day from the lanai!As the sky lightened up – you can still see I think Mars!Then the SUNRISE as we sipped coffee – it would be a fine beach day!
We talked and talked and finally drove down the 1/2 mile and parked
we did not want to carry all the chairs and coolers
Gerhard walking the beachJennie – who loves the beach – mesmerized by the waves.
We spent a couple hours – sitting – walking – sipping some drinks
The weather was warm – 78 degrees – the water 75 degrees!
Castles in the sand left by someoneHundreds of birds
This is North Myrtle Beach – S.C.
and is really wide when the tide goes out!
It got a wee bit cloudy – enough to cut the sun bearing down on you!
Sherry’s sister Debbie – came for a visit – 5 days four nights.
Debbie
We will be here a total of five months –
Ocean Keyes – North Myrtle Beach
and she would be our first visitor.
We spent three days either sitting – walking or both
on the beach!
Watching fishermen catching sand shark and two rays!One of the two rays caughtThis fisherman would wade through the surf – going way out and then casting his line!The beach is very wide here even during high tide!
We would go to the beach around 3 PM. and stay a couple hours.
Walking in the surf and watching all the locals.
The water was around 74 degrees.
And the weather beautiful at 82 degrees!
Sometimes we would walk down –
if we had no chairs –
other times we would drive down and park
carrying everything in the trunk
There are
Jhonny on the spots
And showers to wash off the sand at almost every parking lot!
Sherry doing her network business from the beach!
In all – we really like this beach here – it is quiet – wide and clean.
Debbie had a great time – walking – sitting and just relaxing.
And the bonus – during our three mile plus walk everyday
half of that walk is on the beach!
Of course said walk comes after my morning cup of coffee!
Why for five months?
Because we do not know where we want to live
only that it will fall someplace
from here to the northern border of N.C.
We have always talked of this
But where ever we go – the criteria is twofold
We will try to stay within 7 hours of our families
in NVA.
And a place that is warm – no snow – and lots of golf!
We did not know at the time just how much Sherry would come to love this place!
Being here – it is warmer than where we lived in the winter
and we walk everyday –
hardly any traffic as we walk within a gated community –
until we cross a road to the beach.
And then after a 1/2 mile walk – we have this!
I LISTEN TO HER THOUGHTS!
She has leaned over to me and said
” I REALLY LOVE THIS WALK AND PLACE”!
A QUIET PLACE TO WORK ON HER PHONE!TOES IN THE SAND for me!WE HAVE SAVED – we have worked all our lives.We have found our quiet place – our love – and a place for family to enjoy.
We are close to the over seven hours for our trip back to NVA!
