We went on a nice afternoon boat ride.  What an enjoyable afternoon.  

A lot of mansions around.  

Happy Mother's Day

Another gorgeous sunrise

Jay made omelets for us for Mother's Day.  Mine was mushroom, onion and cheese.  

While Jay and Mike were golfing we went to buy flowers for the backyard.

Yes we got them all into the car.

Where's Marckie

Marckie and MJ hard at work.  Jeanne and I sat by the pool and cheered them on.

Then we all relaxed until Jay and Mike got home.

Saturday afternoon

After lunch we drove into town.  We went to an Emporium with a lot of little shops in it.  Antiques and new.  Fun.  Cheerwine is famous around here.  I guess it is a cherry cola. 

Sharon I took this for you.  A lot of flamingos. 

A famous mural.  

MJ drove us around to look at all the old mansions.  They were amazing.

We stopped for lunch at the East Company and Wing.  It was very good.  Started with homemade kettle chips.  yummy.  

Strawberries are ripe now so we bought a flat.

Then we went wine tasting

After dinner we played a game of 99.  I won!! surprise, surprise!  Topped off the evening with strawberries and ice cream.  

Saturday

Yesterday, Jay had a bad day.  He went down by the boat house and he was walking on the cement in the water, not realizing that it was covered in algae.  He slipped and fell into the lake and then because it was so slippery he had a hard time climbing out.  He scrapped his arm and leg and sprained his wrist.  In the process of getting drenched his phone also got drenched.  So it was no longer working.  They have a fancy platform that goes in the dryer.  So they put the phone in the dryer for a day.  Miracle of miracles his phone is working this morning.  He is sore today.

Before the sunrise

one more mailbox

working hard

Salisbury for dinner

MJ, Jeanne and I went into Salisbury to check out some of the shops.  Jay and Mike drove to Charlotte to meet Marcki's flight.  It took her 2 days to get here from Las Vegas.  

We ended out at el Patron for dinner.  2 other friends joined us for dinner.

The margaritas were delicious.

They made the guacamole at the table.

the shrimp fajitas was yummy 

What a full day. 

rain

You can't tell but it is POURING.  We blinked and it came through.  But it is gone now.  I think we are going to head into Salisbury for the Salisbury Night Out.  Shops stay open late.  We will check it out.
