Are You Potentially Correct?




I'm Not! I'm not even partially correct. But we are wanting to wish everyone of our friends and family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. This marks our first full year in North Myrtle Beach (NMB), and our second Holiday Season. We've got more lights out, both front and back this year, and new neighbors who also believe in doing cools lights and really getting into the season. That makes our 3 houses really light up at night. See the previous post for a short video I made to see what it is I'm talking about.



This has been an amazing year, and Sally and I are going to top it all off by joining 2 of my sibs (Rockin' Robin and the Amazing Mel) and their SO's (Kooky Kathie and Jersey Joltin' Joe) for an "over New Years" sailing trip around St. Maarten, Anquilla, and St. Barts. So get ready for a raft of more videos and pictures when we get back. While you're suffering crappy weather and jalapeno hangovers, we'll be diving the deep, doing our Jimmy Buffet thang on a catamaran built for 8.
Added Extra - Christmas Book Give-Away - from the Shagmiser. Go over to my Shagmiser Site, click on the Christmas Book, and you'll get a couple of free Christmas E-Book Download, just in time for kids and Christmas and I don't know what all.
OK - OK. One more thing. NMB has just opened a brand new Thai restaraunt, and it is very good. Sally, Susan & I just had lunch there. It's called Thai Seasonings, and I highly recommend it, especially if you like Thai food. It's around 9th or 10th Ave South on Highway 17 in NMB.

That's it for now, so TTFN, and We'll Talk Again ....................

See the Lights Along 24th Ave South in NMB

I just did a walk about with the little handheld vidcam on our little street here in North Myrtle Beach. I wanted to capture the holiday festive lights several of us have put out this season. There's also a surprise cameo appearance by our very own Grandma Hale (Mom to me).


Wasn't that simply inspiring. I want to thank our neighboors for trying SOOOOOOO hard to catch up with our lighted holiday spirit, but class will out don't you know. When you get the chance (and I know you will), drop GH a note to wish her Happy Holidays.

If you'd like to see a floating light show, head on over to my Digital Shores.Net site and click on Beach Videos. I shot video of the NMB, Little River Annual Christmas Boat Regatta Parade on the Intercoastal Waterway about a week ago. Now those are some lights.

Found a great new casual place to hang for lunch, happy hour, or dinner. It's called Goober's 52 on Restaraunt Row, right next to Chestnut Hill. It's brand new and well worth checking out. Sally tried the Lobster Rueben and it was really good. They used real lobster. The Crispy O's are TDF. It's got a beach party laid back theme in keeping with the casual laid back beach style. Their sound system plays Zydeco, but what do they know. When you go, tell them the Beachmiser sent you. It won't do you any good, but it will be interesting to see their reaction.

TTFN - and Happy Holidays. We'll Talk Again.

Carrie's Gone - What's Next?

That's right, Carrie actually made the move just this past Saturday, and our little beach house is now one less. It's also one less set of couches, dining room table and chairs, bedroom stuff, and some other really important stuff, but the most important of all, we're one less Carrie. And of course Maxwell. Actually, Max is actually still here in small little dust bunnies, his DNA essence blowing in the breeze.

It will be a lot lonelier here with Carrie gone (but not forgotten). She was an integral part of our little nuclear family, and her smiling presence and her "way with a pan" skills will be sorely missed. (Oops, there goes a Max bunny drifting by).

So what did we do to fill the void? Bought new furniture of course. It's being delivered today. So we should be able to fill some of the empty void left by Carrie's departure to mortgaged pastures.

Email Carrie for her new address. If you ain't got it, then you don't need to know because I am not publishing it here.

Don't forget my new other personal/internet/netrepreneur type blog called Dick Hale's Blog. It's less frequent that this one, but it's more slanted towards personal ramblings and thoughts about internet opportunities.
