Sherry went to visit her sister – so I had no car – but – that did not matter – I walked!
I decided that instead of one big walk for the day –
I would break it up and do several smaller walks
So I walked four times!
And it was a total of 6 1/2 miles!
The first picture was the beach entrance I choose – after walking .60 miles to get there!
This picture is of me after walking onto the beach.
It was a great walk and the sun came out making it warm!
I choose this entrance because I walked a new path
and it brought me to this street.
You see – every street here running West to East –
ends in a beach entrance and most have parking lots!
So I turned left – North – and headed up the beach – back to our normal entrance!
It was almost to low tide – not many people there!
Looking back the way I had just walked! Still not many people!
The beach exit I choose – I came here because to the right is a ramp and it leads to a bench to sit down on. The sand has nearly reclaimed that part- but I find it peaceful to just sit and listen to the surf and watch the people!
Plus there is a boardwalk all the way back to the parking lot-
giving you time to clean off any sand in your shoes!
One last look down the beach from where I had just walked.
The view from the top deck and bar of Snooky’s on the beach – the other Snooky’s is situated on the ICW!
We decided after our attempt to walk the beach –
which was very windy and cold –
to drive back down the Ocean Blvd to Snooky’s!
Sherry and I brought Tammy and the little ones here when they visited.
Sarah and Debby at the table surrounded by heaters!
It was chilly out on the open patio.
We choose this because of the heaters and wanting to be out in the open
for social distancing.
Every other table was empty!
This was the last full day they would be here!
The four days have gone by so quickly.
We packed a lot into it – Mike is a teacher and could not come down.
Maddy is in college with her classes and in the middle of Spring Soccer.
Ella a senior in H.S. Debby – oldest daughter Sarah – youngest of the three – in 8 th. grade
We sat out there on the patio – when I heard Sherry exclaim ‘ THERE HE IS” pointing toward the beach!
She had read a article in the newspaper and seen the interview on TV.
A man who was dressing up as DARTH VADER in Myrtle Beach and walking up and down the beach
entertaining the children – with his Laser –
And he happened to be right here!
Sherry and Ella
Now Ella is a huge – huge Star Wars fan!
For her 16th. birthday as a present – we took her to Florida with us for a week.
And the highlight of that trip was her going to the STAR WARS park.
That was what she wanted to do forever!
DARTH VADER about to walk out on the beach!
So – they both got up – Sherry and Ella – and down the deck they went!
I went up on the top deck so I could get a clear picture of what was going on the beach!
Here Sherry and Ella are nearing DARTH VADER who is Laser fighting with a young boy!
She has Star Wars figurines from her youth – ever since she could walk and talk.
She has seen every movie – over and over again.
Ella and DARTH VADER!
This was one of her highlights of the entire trip to visit us at the beach!
And it was all by chance – we wanted lunch – we selected Snooky’s because it was close
And we knew they had heaters outside!

Our new home being built in Cameron Woods – Ocean Isle Beach – Brunswick County – N.C.
As you can see – the garage has a entrance directly into the hallway and laundry room!
Our life has evolved – from NVA to S.C. and eventually N.C.
All in the span of some nine months!
Where has the time gone – and when did those 40 years fly by?
We started dating in early 1981 – married in June of 1982 –
and today – building a house!
The garage with Sherry looking into the laundry room and the kitchen straight down the hall.
The garage has a overhead storage area with pull down steps.
The three entrance doors are leaning against the walls.
There is a pipe coming up out of the cement floor that I have no idea what it is for!
We are hoping to be in by early June!
We have a storage unit nearby and have our belongings in there.
The beginnings of the kitchen – island and the breakfast nook – bump out window and beyond the covered over windows – the screened in covered lanai!
The walls have been coated on the bottom with a termite barrier!
The floor plates are bolted down into the cement
and metal corner braces to code for hurricanes installed!
Solid construction to N.C. building codes.
The vaulted living room and the extended sun room and to the right – the master bedroom and bath and closet.Sherry inspecting our office – where we will do our home based internet business – http://www.sf.juiceplus.com – which will have french doors – and beyond her is the hall and laundry room and to the right the kitchen.
It was exciting to tour on a Sunday with no one around!
The spare bath – just across the hallway of the office and to the left and right will be two bedrooms.
This is the third house that we have had built – most likely our last – both of us will be 72 !
If you wish to see more of the build – visit my previous blog
Where did the time go?
It has the pictures of the rest of the house!
The living room – sun room – breakfast nook – kitchen and beyond the patio and screened in covered lanai!

She carries a HIGH GPA – and as a Sophomore – because of that GPA –
was able to have a room in the buildings right behind her!
She is a determined young lady – her last two years of travel –
she drove herself 65 miles each way so she could compete with the best in the
Metro D.C area in Loudoun County – a hot bed of recruiting for college soccer.
Steady rain – but we stayed watching her and the game.

Near the end of the game – a 4 to 1 victory and 2 – 0 on the young season!
