Stairs are your friends when you have eaten too much and need exercise...
Adjacent to the 14 floor condo complex where we're staying is this tiny house reminicient of my beloved Key West - beach front included.
Plenty of small locally owned businesses seem to flourish in this section of North Myrtle beach...
Note the marquee - "adult day care"
Love the sign....
And the gas guzzling car from my youth...
The stores selling alcohol here are prominently marked with three red dots...
A barber shop out of Mayberry ....
Cute little gift shop one block from beachfront...
Just across the street from beachfront...
Reclaimed yarn I found at the local thrift shop... life is indeed wonderful.
After leaving the yarn store I stopped at a natural food store I noted beside the Walmart and picked up some steel cut oatmeal. I have to eat something healthy for breakfast the next two days. Eggs, toast and potatoes is just too much!
Spent the afternoon lounging by the pool talking to a fellow knitter I meet two days ago. Sounds like a road trip to a January knitting retreat in Ohio is in my future....
Golf is a popular sport at Myrtle Beach - my DH tells me the sand rich soil is essential in cultivating the required lush greens. Hummm.....I can't help but think about the huge amounts of chemicals used to produce this carpet like covering.
Many stately old trees were scattered around this course..
Southern fox squirrels look like raccoon cousins...
Plenty of pine cones...
A lonely red leaf resting on the greens...
Pond dweller...
Magnolia leaf with seed pods...
I promised knitting - a top down T shirt sweater!
An unhappy golfer?
Little creature crawling between the window panes of the bathroom...
Squirrel treats...
Ride to and from golf course over a thin body of water...
On the way out.....
To Myrtle Beach for six days of rest, fun and knitting! I packed more knitting stuff than anything - clothing included. I plan to finish a tshirt sweater and work on a Santa hat...
We stopped at a produce stand along the way to stock up - we're staying at a beachfront condo with a fully stocked kitchen I'll have time to leisurely cook.
Beautiful fall apples to eat out of hand and to cook for breakfast...
I'll pick up sweet potatoes on the way back home. I bake several sweet potatoes at a time to have for breakfast or anytime - one of my favorites and full of beta carotene.
Fall mums...
Warty gourds....
Regal turnips...
Ghostly pumpkins...
One little gray pumpkin trying to hide among his larger orange friends...
And the beach as seen from our balcony....
You're To Kill a Mockingbird!
by Harper Lee
Perceived as a revolutionary and groundbreaking person, you have
changed the minds of many people. While questioning the authority around you, you've
also taken a significant amount of flack. But you've had the admirable guts to
persevere. There's a weird guy in the neighborhood using dubious means to protect you,
but you're pretty sure it's worth it in the end. In the end, it remains unclear to you
whether finches and mockingbirds get along in real life.

You're Siddhartha!
by Hermann Hesse
You simply don't know what to believe, but you're willing to try
anything once. Western values, Eastern values, hedonism and minimalism, you've spent
some time in every camp. But you still don't have any idea what camp you belong in.
This makes you an individualist of the highest order, but also really lonely. It's
time to chill out under a tree. And realize that at least you believe in
ferries.
