Doug's 57th Birthday!

Doug has had quite a celebration this past weekend and this week:
We went to Blowing Rock over the weekend with Ruth and Ron to their Condo and Deb and Chris went also. The guys played golf on Sat. The gals played! We all had a great dinner and went hiking Sunday. Sunday night we had our reunion group and another celebration. Wednesday night was our celebration - dinner and time together. Special us time!
This Friday night Doug will celebrate with his boys - Tye and Bryson. This is most special as he loves all his boys! Saturday we celebrate with our BVI group - time to bring out the rum! I know Donna will wear her fishing dress since we are going out on the boat!

Fantasia (Idol Winner) is coming to The Tea House on Saturday to film a segment of her new reality show. Should be interesting.

Pop had poker night with the boys tonight and the gals worked on the 2010 Yosemite trip and wedding plans at Bald Head. We all got excited!

Okay ..how does everyone find time to work, keep busy schedules, play, do facebook, email and blog. This is crazy! Too much computer time as we would rather be 'doing' than 'posting' what we 'do.' Seems kinda crazy, but we'll keep posting!

Palm Key

What a great place! The gals went to Palm Key last weekend for a kayak and biking trip and it was just gorgeous. We saw our first painted bunting - THE most gorgeous bird. Saw the nesting trees for thousands of white ibis - unbelievable! We stayed in a fabulous beach house on the private Palm Key property and Em and Jody cooked our meals - a GREAT low country boil on Sat. night with cornbread, salad and peach cobbler delivered to our dining table - what service! I could really get use to this!

Even saw Double rainbows after a rain one evening. Went over to Hilton Head on Sunday to bike to the Harbor for lunch. A perfect weekend with the gals! Oh yeh...played hearts and spades after the sun went down. That nil hand gets you everytime!
