Happy 2013 to all of our friends and family, near and far! After a wonderful holiday season, we are on our way to Fort Myers Beach--ETA 5pm. We're driving through the Orlando area where it is currently 79 degrees under partly cloudy skies. But enough of that (I don't want to upset my readers in St. Louis, where the high today is 26).
We spent last weekend at Norm and Barb's lovely beach cottage in Beaumont, NC. Barry worked on Norm's boat engine, while Barb and I rode bikes and explored the town which has homes dating back to the 1700's. While there, Barry found an ad on Craigslist for davits (stainless steel pulley system for hoisting the dinghy) so on our way south, we stopped in New Smryna Beach to take a look. Well, for those of you who know Barry, this will come as no surprise--he now has a new BFF named Hank. We stopped by their home just to look at the davits, and 5 hours later we left with davits in hand, emails exchanged, and memories of a delicious brunch prepared by Hank's girlfriend Bernadette. We meet such interesting people during our travels!
So excited to read about your adventures! I chuckled at the part about Hank, Barry's new BFF! Safe travels and have a great time!
ReplyDeleteThanks, little sister! Hope all is well in St. Louis!
