Full Moon

Papa’s World – Watching boat parade at the Links Of Brickyard Landing.

/ Tom / Leave a comment

This is our view on the ladies’ tee box on number 18 at The Links at Brickyard Landing Golf Course.

We set our chairs up just as the sun went down and the full moon was coming up in the opposite direction.

It was chilly and we had blankets with us – some drinks – and just enjoyed the night sky waiting for the boats to come by!

The full moon was in the East and it was in this direction that the boats would come down the ICW!

We turned around, faced the West, and were greeted by a fantastic sunset!

The sun was almost down as we waited – I did not get pictures of the boats as it was dark and I was not sure they would turn out!

The waiting time was cold as the entire East Coast had cold weather.

But we braved it out and saw 12 boats come by all decorated out and numerous others that were not!

Sherry – our neighbors Diane and Steve – the Sun is almost set!

PAPA’S WORLD – WATCHING BOAT PARADE AT THE LINKS AT BRICKYARD LANDING!!!!!!

Papa’s World – Back to North Myrtle Beach!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

Once again we came back to where we lived for nine months – North Myrtle Beach and all the decorations for Christmas – along with a full moon and beautiful sunset.

Looking at the moon coming up over the buildings on Beach Blvd.

We stood just outside of 94.9 the SURF – Beach and Classic music!

The arch near the beach entrance – here they have live music during the Summer season.

A look at main – street in all its glory lit up for Christmas.

We were here during the Pandemic and no one was on the street or in the shops – so sad!

On the beach looking up the beach at the full moon rising!

And then turning around a seeing the sunset in the beginning of an evening sky – the best of both worlds!

PAPA’S WORLD – BACK TO NORTH MYRTLE BEACH – WHERE WE LIVED FOR NINE MONTHS!

Papa’s World – ever changing life – Ocean Keyes – North Myrtle Beach , SC – #2

When the day begins with a splash – each day break is different! Ocean Keyes – North Myrtle Beach – SC!

This is the view I saw in the ad for this rental!

This view sold us and we jumped on it right away!

Each morning is different!

Our view of the small lake –

Water fowl flying in and out!

There are six fountains that we can see!

Each at night is lit up!

The moon and fountains light the water !

This never gets old.

I will miss this when we move into our new house.

But – we will have enjoyed it for nine months!

We are social distancing from here – in the condo!

We knew when we moved in October 1st. that we would be mostly alone-

that we would not be able to eat out –

but what we have here is the ability to walk!

Every day – we can walk different routes and still end up at the beach!

One half mile walk brings us to this! If you want information on this place – just contact us here or through my wife’s web site: http://www.sf.juiceplus.com and we will answer.

Papa’s World – Sunrise – Windy beach – Full Moon – Charlie Brown Christmas!

/ Tom / Leave a comment
NO IT DOES NOT GET OLD!
TWO AND ONE HALF MONTHS – WAKING UP TO THIS!

Every morning – the sunrise from our condo –

it paints a different sky each day.

I watch this as it develops each morning –

Sherry has the same view from our bedroom!

She has almost never seen the sunrise – but now she wakes up to this

and has almost trained herself to wake up to it!

Some days – we walk when we should of just stayed inside! LOL

Those days are mostly when the high winds are around.

One is because of the giant trees here!

They are high above our fourth floor condo!

And branches – even though small – come down!

We do not want to get hit by them!

The wind causing the sand to blow across the beach!
You can see that when it is windy – very few people venture forth! The sand is blown across all but wiping out the footprints!

Papa and MorMor – we tried as you can see –

but the wind was so strong –

and the sand was stinging our faces!

We decided not to for go a walk here

and instead walked the sidewalks where it was bearable!

We returned to the condo after getting in our three mile

beach less walk!

There are days such as this that we also do our errands!

Or go to a late lunch early dinner

when no one is around

keeping social distance!

Back at the condo – we await the late show

not on TV but outside

once again in the dark sky

the rising of not the sun

but the full moon!

Both sun rise and moon lit nights from our own private Lanai!

PAPA’S WORLD!

Papa’s World – A windy day walking the beach.

/ Tom / Leave a comment
The calm before the wind!

We had gone through one day of winds

then another storm way off the coast

brought another windy day!

We headed out on our walk – nervous from the trees!

But we pushed on – walking the streets until we came to the beach.

Entrance to the beach – South of main street

The wind was stronger on the beach –

sometimes blowing the sand up and into your eyes.

This reminds me of desert sands

the wind dries out the sand

which is like powder here in SC.

Leaving footprinrs such as these after walking on it!

Did we make a error in coming to the beach?

The Ocean was rough – waves bigger than normal!

White caps from the shore outward.

A lonely man metal detecting

We were almost all alone!

There were a few brave souls

but the wind whipped up the sand

causing it to swirl across to the waters edge.

Almost no one on the beach and this was almost lunch time

We walked a short distance –

bracing against the wind

Even the birds were not there!

We are soul mates in the wind.

And then the calm at the end of the day – Full Moon – over the lake – our view from the Lanai

Papa’s World – Afternoons on the beach!

/ Tom / Leave a comment

Looking North on North Myrtle Beach toward Cherry Grove.

Almost every afternoon – we take our two chairs

my BOSE radio speaker –

Pandora on my phone for easy listening

and a couple drinks

then we sit – walk – read and watch the Ocean and hear the waves.

This part of our dream vagabond life

coming true –

living life – walking healthy – moving –

observing – listening –

“HOTEL CALIFORNIA” in the background.

I have my GILLIGAN hat on –

to keep my protection against those sun rays.

I wear a shirt for the same.

Sometimes I have a single beer –

most times it is water.

We walk the tidal pools

the water feels warm

fishermen are always on the beach and in the surf

Down here by the shore –

the clouds and blue sky are beautiful

The sand is not hot to the feet

and is like soft powder

IMAGINE ALL THE PEOPLE!

Mostly older folks here

but you do see the young ones braving the water

We generally stay for two hours

leaving between 5:00 and 5:30 PM.

On our next bucket list of things to do

and in a few days will become a reality

Is to come down to the beach at FULL MOON!

We are almost there now!

Afternoons on the beach

listening to easy rock

reading – doing some network marketing

dreaming – making dreams come true.

Peace – quiet – surf – warmth from the sun

for us – it all has just begun.

MORMOR & PAPA

AFTERNOONS ON THE BEACH!
