Fast-forward to Myrtle Beach, SC

Well, it seems I have been remiss with the blog....but time just mosies on; there's always something up, back at the Farm, or at the River, where we are spending our time. There are many tales from the Chicken Coop and those will be shared sometime!

But fast-forwarding to today(Sunday), we left the MH at the Farm and headed South to the Condo in Myrtle Beach for a couple weeks....We've enjoyed Spring in Florida, in Texas, in Virginia and now, in Myrtle Beach! And what a joy it is to see the Azaleas, Dogwoods, Flox, Blue Bonnets, Wisteria and Jasmine blooming across the regions....and, yes, Dortha, I cut the Dogwoods (Virginia's State Flower) too, for my little vase, just like those lovely Blue Bonnets! :) I will share some with you if you come to Virginia!!

The new background photo, above, is the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean from the porch. (Yes, Deb, that is sunRISE as in AM!) The previous photo was of a Church spire viewed from the San Antonio River, through the bougainvillea on the RiverWalk

Eric on first base
Eric (Kristy's youngest son) is playing baseball in the Little League, so it's been a lot of fun going to his games. It's his first year playing, and he's doing pretty well...he's a good hitter and gains confidence with each game, so I hope we can see more of his games when we get back to the Farm.

Katie's mare, Heaven Can't Wait, is expected to foal next week, so we may miss the big event. Paul installed a wireless camera and has uplinked it to this website
www.marestare.com/cam.php?alias=pinnerhill and Heaven can be viewed in her stall every night, so the big event can be watched from wherever....She will have the foal during the nighttime, and they will call so we can participate!

So, there will be some sun-n-fun and maybe some Shaggin', and lots of Beach Music, on Ocean Boulevard......I'm so grateful to be here in one of our favorite spots!

Bob chillin' out!

Hugs to everyone!!

Porch sitting and a break in Myrtle Beach

The first week of November was one of our weeks at the condo in Myrtle Beach, but we knew we wouldn't go down for the whole week, so after seeing that Kristy's tests had come back OK, and that she would have an aide or sitter 24/7, we decided to come down for the weekend. KK and Karisa have kept us up to date on how Kristy is doing. KK said today that she looked better and was more responsive, so this is all good.

The weather here has been just wonderful; sunny with a bright blue sky and in the upper seventies each day. My oh my, I do love warm weather!! We have walked on the beach a lot and collected shells to take back for the kids. Seafood is one of our very favorite things and it is great here...lots of fresh shrimp, flounder, grouper and great oysters.....especially in November! So there's been some great meals at Bimini's and Nance's in Murrell's Inlet (favorite seafood joints) and a little relaxing near the pool. And lots of just plain ol' "porch sitting"....looking out over the sea oats and dunes to the ocean and listening to the sound of the waves. It is a peaceful place. It would be great to bring Kristy here when she gets better. It's a therapeutic place!!

This is truly one of our favorite places to be, so it is good to enjoy a couple of days here. We'll head back to Richmond early Sunday morning and I'll be heading back to MCV each day to see if I can be of any help to Kristy. Hopefully, she'll be improving every day!! Hugs to everyone!!
