Sunning our Buns!!! On Myrtle Beach-and a Milestone

When we go to bed tonight and awaken tomorrow morning, we will have spent our 100th night in the motorhome since leaving home. How kewl is that for a milestone! And like Marti and Paul we are still talking and having fun together :) And our microwave also doubles as a bread box Paul! And I don't feel guilty anymore not getting up and going to work-we do what we want all day and stay up as late as we want at night-how much fun is this.....I'm starting to think we should retire first and work last-had we known it was so much fun!


Today was a great day here in Myrtle Beach-the day started off bright sunny and hot. We took the fur kids for a big walk on the beach-and they dipped their paws in the ocean. 


Upon our return, they rested in the air conditioning in the motorhome and we donned our beach apparel, hopped in the golf cart and spent a few hours at the beach just relaxing. 




Later in the day storm clouds started to roll in, the wind seemed to pick up instantly, and there were beach umbrellas flying everywhere. 

Talk about a gaggle of folks packing up fast and taking off. We came back, battened down the hatches, pulled in all the awnings and just sat back to watch it roar. We got some thunder and lightening and lots of rain. I feel bad for all the folks pulling in and trying to set up their rigs in the rain. The park is suppose to be filled to capacity this long easter weekend.
We have a family of ducks here which incidentally are driving Tucker crazy..he is so focused on watching them out the window even a treat won't bring him off the sofa.


After a rest from the hard job of beaching it-we decided it was time to tackle the sandy dogs. We have been picking sand burrs from their coats all day every day. Seems like its been a gazillion trillion at a time. I decided Miss Lilly had just too much coat on her so we got out the clippers and did a job on her then I showered her. As for Mr. Tucker? After the 3 hrs it took to do her I think I'll just take him to petsmart or another groomer on Saturday. I'm tuckered out!
This park has a lovely Easter display-the 40 days of Easter and the life of Christ set up in the lake. The pictures just do not do it justice and I will get some more in the day light. Each evening there is a narrated Easter story which is told through narration, lights, and music daily at 8pm lasting 35 minutes.  We attended from the comfort of our golf cart last evening. It was a very nice production.

I'm looking forward to attending the Easter services on Sunday. On Saturday there is a car show here on the resort at the conference center so we will attend that also.
Tonight for supper we whipped up a shepherds pie. It was very tasty. We had planned on grilling but the rain put a quick damper on that. At times it is raining quite heavily. I feel bad for the folks that are here just for the Easter weekend. I sure hope the weather clears up for them. 
Take care all, be safe out there and have a wonderful long weekend! And remember..

  7. Congrats on your 100 night milestone! That got me to thinking, we must be at or approaching 400 nites...and we haven't killed each other, yet.

    Those are some ominous looking clouds..they would have worried me.

  9. So that's where Tucker got his name!

    How was the sitting after sunning your buns? ;c)

    Really nice displays, who'd have thunk that they could do that in today's anti-relgion climate.

  11. Just left Tiffin service center yesterday and today, with nothing scheduled for the future, I'm just floating around on cloud nine. Getting into this retirement life is getting better each day. I can't wait for what the next few months will bring. I just hope I can stand the euphoria.

  12. You poor Tuckered thing :)).

    I have never heard of an RV park doing all that for Easter what a great idea. Did you rent the golf cart?

  13. What a great anniversary! Here's to 100 more, and 100 after that, etc.
    We keep our two cockers shaved down all the time because of matts, stickers, heat, etc. It is a chore! We usually wait too long, and that makes it even harder. Sounds like a fantastic RV park. Did you share the name? Always "filing" away great places for our journeys.

  14. Sure a beautiful area, enjoyed the pictures. Nice the furkids got a little beach time in also. Sure doesn't seem like a hundred days already that you have been gone. But what a fun winter trip it's been.
