Myrtle Beach ~

Our whirlwind trip to Myrtle Beach is now just a pleasant memory.  We had a great time 💖.  I knew Myrtle Beach was a tourist destination, but didn't imagine how tourist-y it would be.  We were fortunate to have an oceanfront room.  That was one of the best parts of the trip ~ looking out, seeing and hearing the ocean.  Falling asleep to the sound of the waves.  We had great weather, sunny and mid to high 70's.

A beautiful sunrise ~

I thoroughly enjoyed my morning walks on the beach.  I did find some shells, but nothing out of the ordinary.  I was surprised to see all the jellyfish that had washed ashore overnight.  They were simply beautiful but sad to see.


The sandpipers were a hoot to watch running around, pecking in the sand.


We stopped at Warbird Park.





A piece of the World Trade Center from 9-11.


The highlight of my time in Myrtle Beach was the Segway tour we took.  They are just so much fun!!!


More to share next time.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊

Edisto Island


I just returned from three glorious days on Edisto Island, South Carolina.  It was so nice to feel 70* warmth.  To see the ocean.  To meet old friends I'd never met 😊
Julia and I have been blog friends for many years.  Same with Jennie from Georgia.  Julia's friend Cathy, also from Georgia, joined us.  That is Cathy on the left, followed by Julia trying to hide, Jennie and yours truly.


Julia's "low country" cottage.  It was a delightful place to stay.  So much eye candy.  Guess who never got around to taking any pictures inside?


Wonderful to see the Atlantic Ocean.  We walked the beach several times.


Spanish moss.



The woodpecker's sure did like this tree.




Jennie (www.overthehillandrunning.blogspot.com) gave me a crash course in blogging from my iPad.  (I can't figure out how to add a link.)  Had I been smarter, I would have done a post while with her.  I just thought I'd write a few things down and all would be well.  NOT!  I've been struggling with this post for an hour or two.  Then decided to try on my iPhone.  Well, that was going ok but then I got stuck and somehow deleted that whole post.  ARGH!  Am I making it more difficult than it really is?  Anyway, I have lots more fun stuff to share but after fighting with my iPad, I am brain dead.
EDITED:  After I published the post, I had to go back to my desktop.  Somehow the photos were not sized correctly (see below)and only half the photo showed up on the post.  I had to delete those photos and add them from the desktop.  ARGH again.  I may never figure out how to blog from a mobile device.


Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs,
