With my Sisters here we have been busy.

March 28th. The month is almost over. Neither Trish nor I can believe it. We have had a great time and can't wait for next year. We have rented a place already.

For the first time since we got here February 26th it rained on Easter Sunday. We tried to go to Beaufort for lunch, but there was just to much rain so we returned to Wahoo. Trish did take my sisters to Savannah on Saturday as I played golf.

The following are some recent photos.

Deer in the backyard

This morning before I went to play golf we had deer in the backyard. We have had deer there many times, but today I got a picture.

March 19, 2016

The Alligators seem to be getting bigger.  Yesterday after MJKQ (Matthew and family) left i went to play golf. The game seemed to be getting better on the first 9 then completely disintegrated on the back. I am going to blame the Alligators.

On Wednesday we went to Charleston

We debated whether we would go to Savannah or Charleston. We decided on Charleston because Savannah takes St. Patrick's Day very seriously and we did not think we could get a parking place.
We visited a small museum and tried to visit a plantation, but it was closing.

Frog on the window

Last night we got this picture of a small frog claiming one of our windows. The night before we actually saw it get a moth.


Kennedy and Quinn have a great day

Yesterday Kennedy and Quinn went to the adventure centre at Hunting Island State Park. They saw snakes, an Alligator and Turtles. Then they went swimming. It was a beautiful sunny day about 78 F or 25 C. Matt and I played golf. Matthew played very well I had a bad front 9 and a pretty good back 9.

Kennedy, Quin, Jill and Matthew Arrive

Yesterday Matt and his family arrived safe and sound. No pictures yet but they go to visit the snakes and hopefully for a swim. Trish and I got up early and walked to the beach with the dogs. You will see just how large the beach is with the tide out.

Ibis are everywhere

March 11,2016 17th hole

Today I did better then yesterday but did not break 100. I had enough good shots to send me back tomorrow. I believe tomorrow will be game 10. I took a picture on the 17th tee you might like to see.

A herd of deer on the 16th hole

Kelly and I went for a cart ride to see if the pool was open. It was so hopefully the kids will be able to go swimming. We saw a lot of deer. On the way back with the sun going down we found a herd on the 16th hole.


You may need to enlarge the photo in order to see them.

Wednesday is Tournament Day yesterday was picture day

I played golf again yesterday being very careful not to reinjure my leg. I was OK. My game still needs a lot of improvement, but I did have my best score so far 105. We had 8 women and 22 men. My group came second and got our $2 back. I have played 7 rounds and won something 5 times.

Here is the group.



Trip to Beaufort and some High Tide Pictures

On Monday I hurt a muscle in my leg hitting a beautiful 4 iron shot on the 10th hole. I stopped playing and decided to take Tuesday off. We went in to Beaufort for lunch and Kelly wanted to see the horses.

The Beaufort Marina were we spent 3 days in November 2014

Tuesday night Kelly and I walked up to the best Sunset view on the island 

It is a little hard to see, but the extra high tide has just about covered all the beach

The Ocean by Fripp March 8, 2016

I took a video of the ocean this morning. The tide is so high they expect flooding in Charleston.



The tide was up behind the house this morning.


Trish was up early looking for shells.

Sunday's Trip to Savannah With a side trip to Hilton Head

O n Sunday I needed a day off after golfing 5 days straight. On the way we went over to Hilton Head to take a look. It is very prosperous and need and tidy, but you do not see much due to gated communities. We did stop at a golf store which was moving. I bought a Big Bertha for $70. Well not exactly because there was a further 40% off and I paid $42.

We the went into Savannah a beautiful southern city with lots of tourist from all over the United States. About half the cars are from out of state. Kelly Trish and I had lunch down by the river. As we ate lunch we could see a huge container ship headed for the ocean, It would have been about 150 feet from our table.
