Friends & Our W/E Trip to Brunswick County, NC

We headed out of town this weekend to visit good friends, Bill & Ro, in Calabash, NC who live 15 minutes North of Myrtle Beach. Can't believe that we hadn't been there in more than a year, although we managed to pick up right where we left off!
Our other great friends, Rich and Kathy joined us on the trip and we reconnected with transplanted former "Greensbor-in-ians", Jack and Caroline,...more great friends.... who moved their residential building business to Shalotte, NC almost 4 years ago. Needless to say there was lots of conversation about McCain/Pailin and Obama/Bidden; the state of the economy; the status of the building industry (Many of us there, in some way or another, were/are in directly-related jobs that have been affected...although that's a subject for another blog...); Probably the best things shared were the funny stories, hearty laughs and some great recipes!


Ya just have to know that Bill & Ro have the BEST unofficial bed and breakfast in the area. They are the greatest hosts...traveled us all over the area looking for and at beach condominiums for sale...(no, we're not in the market...but R & K are...). And food? Amazing meal on Friday night along with a great restaurant choice on Ocean Isle Beach for a fabulous lunch on Saturday. It certainly wasn't a w/e to lose weight!

Thanks Shepherd's for a wonderful weekend and an opportunity to share time away some of our "best-est" friends!
