Clearing Out the Thoughts!

I have no excuse for not posting except that I have been busy relaxing and enjoying a wonderful week at the beach!

But I will catch you all up on a few things.  :)   First off, my lack of patience was very short-lived, but I am still ticked off about a couple things.  Our computer is a goner.  IT Guy got the parts and started to work on it and upgrade it.  Thank you!  When he opened the Lenovo tower up he discovered it had the innards of a laptop.  No fan, and had the motherboard of a laptop.  So there was nothing he could do to it.  The thing had been sold to us as a fully functioning  PC by Best Buy, only a little over a year ago.  So, we will be shopping for a new computer when we get home - not at Best Buy.  And Lenovo is on all our "lists".  You know what I mean... we're not happy and we're taking names.  That kind of list.

Now on to happier news.  We've been here in Myrtle Beach all week for the Retired Military Golf Classic.  The weather has been great.  For the first time ever Golfer and Tommy are on the same schedule and rotation and could car pool.  Usually, Golfer, Tommy, and Lou are all on different courses and at different times.  The tee times are split morning and afternoon, on different courses, and the players alternate.  And since we are staying at the Royal Garden Resort (condo) and it's close to Tommy's home, it's worked out well.

I really like it here.  It has been quiet and peaceful all week, even last weekend when bikers were in the area for Bikefest.  They were farther North.  Here in Garden City there were a few, not many, and they were older gentlemen who know how to behave in polite society. 

Parking has been no problem this year.  Remember last year we had an "issue" in the parking garage.  We have gotten smarter and this year we've stayed on the lower levels of the garage and avoided the tight turns on the ramps.  We've just had one car mishap - a small blemish on the passenger side of the car where a golf ball hit the door while parked at the course.  Golfer says it will buff out; no dent.  He says someone hit a really bad shot!  The ball was lying there by the car when he went to leave.

It's been a busy week for our girls.  End of school activities in Georgia;  Bloomer got several awards for her hard work.   And Boxer had his fifth grade graduation and is officially a middle schooler now!  Next year their school schedule will be better and Bikini can return to scheduling their vacation here for the week.  We're looking forward to that!

BeyB won't be done with classes and exams until mid-June.  Next year she will be a Senior!  Where has the time gone?????  Cutie Girl is growing by leaps and bounds and is constantly busy.  There might be a time between when BeyB ends high school and Cutie Girl starts kindergarten that NurseJ can come here on vacation, too.  We'll have to see! 

So, we've just been relaxing, playing golf, enjoying time with friends, going out for dinner, and appreciating God's beautiful ocean here.  Stay safe!
