Couldn't make it to Myrtle Beach this week and the loving wife was NOT happy. Found an efficiency at a resort in Panama City Beach, Florida and took her there yesterday for a few days. The wife is happy so life is good! Came through some good farming country in the panhandle of Fla, lots of irrigated cotton but mostly green tractors, didn't see any Orange. Tried lying out on the beach but those darn green peace wackos keep trying to push me back into the water. Scenery is not as good as it would but during the first of the summer but there is some eye candy out there. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

Glad the wife is happy and your enjoying your R&R. Too bad those green things spoiled the trip down though. ------------- When you find yourself in a hole,PUT DOWN THE SHOVEL!!! |

| Probably better off down there than at Myrtle Beach anyway. Myrtle just isn't like it used to be almost to the point of starting to look like it's going downhill. |

Hope yall are enjoying the "redneck Riviera". Havent been there since I was a teenager. Know the feeling about greenpeace. I'm so pasty white that a sunglass vendor set up a booth next to me last time. He made a killing! ------------- I didn't do it! It was a short, fat, tall, skinny guy that looked like me! |

Great thing there Hubert! Next month marks 30 years for "us". We went to Maine for our honeymoon, in 2 weeks we head out to Maine to stay in the same Inn we stayed at back then. This time, we'll have a few days rather than blowing through in a whirlwind. Hoping the colors will look great, but if not, no biggie. We haven't taken a just the two of us trip, even a weekend, in ......???? how long?

Craig, we were just scouting around this time to see what we could get into on the next trip. Had quite an enjoyable trip, the wife already wants to go back. Saw my first turpentine still at St. Andrews State Park. It once belonged to the grandfather of a friend of who now lives near us, unfortunately she is still a Gator fan. Saw a 185 in a shed when we were crossing from hwy 79 over to hwy 231 and that was the only orange I saw, almost missed it. We left yesterday morning but still have not made it home, stopped over at our daughter's house to dog sit for the weekend. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |
