Friday Photos

 

Hubby and I had a wonderful vacation to Myrtle Beach.  We did a lot of relaxing and watching Christmas movies.  We spent time on the balcony and I spent time on the beach.  We had really nice weather most of the time.  The first day was really cold, but after that not so bad.  Most days I could go out without a jacket, but there were a few that required a hoodie.  We had rain 2 days in a row our second to last weekend there.  But honestly we didn't mind at all.  The beach is still beautiful even in the rain.  We just enjoyed it from our balcony.  

I think there was a family on the beach that made this and I thought it was cute.

We had some really good food.  One of our favorites is a little Italian restaurant called Toffino's.  If you're ever in Myrtle Beach, I recommend you stop there.  We got it twice and took it back to our room.  There portions are large and we realized the next time we need to split a meal and maybe get a salad with it, as neither one of us could finish ours. I did not take pictures, but I put a link above. 

We also enjoyed several times getting something from DQ and taking it to Warbird Park and watching the planes taking off and landing at Myrtle Beach International Airport.  I've added a link to their website if you're interested.  Their newest memorial was dedicated while we were there.  It's in honor of those who served during WWII.  I took a couple pictures there one day.

I know some of these photos were posted before, but here they are again.  I hope you are having a great day.  I'm enjoying just spending a day at home.  Thanks for visiting.

Currently - November 2023

 

Today I'm going to do the November Currently Post. It was supposed to be Wednesday, so I'm rather late.  But better late than never, right?  You can link up with Jennifer here, as she is the hostess.  In November, we are talking about what we're currently loving, buying, preparing, excited for, and planning.

Loving:  Being in Myrtle Beach for the next 2 1/2 - 3 weeks.

Buying:  Nothing really...but I'm sure I'll get some Christmas decorations from the Christmas Mouse (wonderful Christmas store here in Myrtle Beach.

Preparing:  to start a new crochet blanket...but I have to finish this one first.

Just this much yarn left to go!

Excited for:  whatever hubby and I get into in the next 3 weeks.  Getting some good food and just enjoying being together.

Planning:  to watch lots of Hallmark and GAC Christmas movies.

That's it for this post.  Hope you all have a great weekend.  Thanks for visiting.

Wednesday Hodgepodge

 

Click above to visit and link up with Joyce.

1. Sum up your November in ten words or less. How about no words, just pictures.

2. Are you hosting any holiday parties this year?  No Attending any? Not parties, but lunches, yes. Party pooper, party animal, or life of the party...where do you land when it comes to parties? Probably somewhere in the middle.

3. Do you purchase holiday clothing of any sort (sparkly tops, Christmas jammies, Santa suit, etc). Rarely, but I did buy these Snoozies last year. I also have jewelry (earrings and pins) that are Christmassy. 

4. What's your go-to recipe when you're asked to bring an hors d'oeuvre to a party? Never been asked to.

5. December 3rd is National Play Outside Day...what might you do to celebrate? Depending on the weather, I'm considering going to the Horse Carriage Parade in our town. Here's a post I made about it in 2009.

6. Insert your own random thought here. My sister and I did some decorating of the graves earlier this week.

Bits of This and That - Vacation

 Good Monday Morning.  We had a really nice quiet weekend with beautiful weather.  I just feel so blessed that God has allowed us to have this time together in one of our most favorite places.  We have so many memories here of fun times with hubby's parents and also with our girls.  Of course, it's just hubby and me this trip and I love that too.  No pressures or worries, just relaxing and enjoying each other's company.  

We still have a few more days left and I intend to enjoy every moment.  The weather has changed overnight.  We've mostly been in the 60-70's range this trip, but last night the temperatures dropped alot and it's only 41 degrees right now with a high expected of 59.  But it's sunny and beautiful and I'm pretty sure before the day is over, I'll be out on the beach, even in the cold.  Here's what it looks like from our room this morning.

Cold, but beautiful

Here are a couple of pictures from this past few days. 

We went out to breakfast yesterday for the first time on this trip. 
 I had a great cup of hot chocolate!

Some little birds came to visit me for breakfast on Saturday

We stopped to take a look at this marina and I just had to take a picture of this guy!

We love seeing the marshes.  They are always teeming with birds, although I
don't think there are any in this photo.  lol

Well, that's it for today.  I hope you have a great day.  Take care my friends and thanks for visiting.

Thankful Thursday and Friday SkyWatch

 Today I'm linking with Thankful Thursday right here and with SkyWatch Friday right here:

I'm thankful for the beautiful weather we've been having until today.  Today is very gray and rainy.  I believe this is from Hurricane/Tropical Storm Nicole.  I think it's going to be like this tomorrow too.  But that's okay.  It's given me time to take a nap and read some and now watching Christmas movies.  Of course, I've done some of this most days anyway.

I'm thankful for my new Journaling/Coloring Bible.  I got it off Amazon about a few weeks ago and now because of the weather I have the time to do it.  But, I found out I color about like a 5 year old.  lol  But I'm still enjoying it. 

Here are two pictures for SkyWatch from earlier in the week.

Thanks for visiting and I hope you all have a great rest of your week.
