Blog worthy stuff.. Kind of.

I know, I know I have been complacent in my blogging. I have been reading some of your blogs but I have been so busy that I haven't even stopped long enough to comment. Some blog buddy I am. Even the man in the moon hangs around more than I do.



Friday golf. Tiger has nothing to be worried about. Let's just say that out of the 4 of us, I had the highest score and it wasn't even close. It was a great day though and any day off from work is a great day. Speaking of Tiger, Tigger Tiger likes to chase the golf balls when I am practicing in the front yard. Here he is waiting on the next shot.



Saturday market was a success. After a wonderful breakfast wrap made by our Irish chef, we sold plants and wine like they were hotcakes. The lady selling hotcakes also said that they were selling like hotcakes. Now I promised Sara that I wouldn't blog about the strange sighting that we had on Saturday so I can't write about the guy wearing the flowery sun dress. I do keep my promises so mums the word.

Sunday was Mother's day and my wife wanted to relax out in the boat so that is what we did. We started out fishing several miles off shore and then came back to the beach that we like so much. The fish were biting but so were the sharks. My son didn't like the photo that he took so I had to cut myself out. That is my arm though. Better that I cut my arm off than the shark doing it.




Sunday afternoon we just sat around and worked in the garden. It was more play than work. Our day lilies are about to bloom and so are the water lilies. This one is in our fish pond. I hope everyone had a great mothers day. My brother took my mother out for lunch but he made her pay of course. Hey he still took her....I guess.



Have a great day,
Greg

Sounds like you had a great few days! You need to come down and golf with my husband--did I tell you he gets to play for free all he wants now cause he volunteers at the proshop? Let's talk addiction but it keeps him sane.
Enjoy your beautiful weather!

Sometime you just need to take a break from blogging, clear your head and come back refreshed!

Looks like you had a wonderful weekend! Gorgeous flower!

A flowery sun dress on a man? Where were you, South Beach?? :)

I'm happy to hear your plants and wine (and even that lady's hotcakes) sold like hotcakes! I wonder what the guy in the sundress bought. :)

What a lovely day you had. I do wonder how you seem to spot the most uncommon characters wherever you go. Glad you spent a day with your beloved.

Hey Grandpa, What's for Supper

Image
Were havin fried chicken so crisp and hot, With tatters and gravy make sure and take a lot. There’s green beans and fatback and biscuits with butter, And cold cold milk, straight from the udder. And fer desert, get ya some pie, There’s sweet tater, apple and of course yer favorite shoo-fly. YUMMMM YUMMMMM Hee Haw was one of my father’s favorite shows. He loved it for the ummmmmmm music. Or so he said. This morning, I was thinking about what to have for supper. A couple of things came to mind. First there was some chicken in the refrigerator but I remembered Salmonella and decided not to fix that. I bought a beef roast yesterday but now I am having second thoughts because of possible Mad Cow Disease. I could always make a salad but we might get e-coli from the lettuce. Ok the only thing left is water but with all the mercury and arsenic in water these days, maybe I will just sit quietly and breathe. I just hope there isn’t a smog alert. Then I thought why not just go out for dinner. The...

Pictures from Wadmalaw Island. Martins Point plantation as it stands today. (site of "The Notebook") Bohicket Creek. Shrimp boat at Rockville. If you are coming here from the "Time" article, please feel free to look around. I didn't find out until today that they used a link to my blog. Welcome. Very quickly, My wife and I got married at this plantation. It is right around the corner from where we live now so if you have any questions about it, feel free to email me and ask. In a few days, I will post some more photos of the house. I wrote an interesting story about the plantation as my last post. Check it out by clicking here . Thanks to my son, Gregory for taking the pictures. He is making a power point presentation for Irving House Winery. You can see it if you come for a wine tasting.

The legend of Flat Stanley (A Horror Story)

Image
There are a few things in life that upset me: Spiders, rude people, unruly children and spilling my coffee to name a few. But nothing gets my blood boiling faster than hearing the name Flat Stanley. On the surface, Stanley sounds like something innocent, but I am here to tell you that he is evil and has the power to tear your family apart. Flat Stanley was the brain child Dale Hubert, a third grade teacher from Ontario Canada. Back in 1995, he decided to start this project to inflict pain on unsuspecting parents and students as well. The concept is simple: You take a picture of Flat Stanley and decorate it. Then you cut it out and there you have it….Flat Stanley. Then you send it to other people and they take stupid photos of them with Stanley or you take him on vacation with you in order to ruin your vacation and Dale should be shot or better yet put in a pot of boiling oil and slowly fried and tortured and and and Ha Ha….Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha….Whahahahahahahahaha Sorry this happens every ti...
