I really missed the Myrtle Beach gals, here at the Palms. I missed the "good morning" from the next balcony, having Linda and Mary Ellen there to have breakfast and lunch on the balcony, the faces in the window from the next building and the game of charades from the balcony in the next building.
We left Myrtle Beach this morning and traveled to Durham North Carolina. We are visiting Ian and Lynda Charlton (AKA - The Lovely’s). They are in great spirits tonight as their beloved Duke Blue Devils won their football game, which was their first interconference win in a quite few years..
This area has special meaning for us. Liam was born, in Chapel Hill, eight years ago. Chapel Hill is a very short ride from Ian & Lynda’ house. In fact we passed the road where Liam, Kari and Jonah lived, when we went out for dinner. It brought back many fond memories.
Lynda has been telling us many amusing stories. The one which we through was especially amusing was a story involving Hockey Hall Of Fame coach Scotty Bowman. It turns out that many years ago, Lynda, her sister Anita and a friend went by train to Montreal. The Canadiens had just won the Stanley Cup and they arrived in time for the party. On their return trip they took the train and Scotty Bowman was sitting with them in the same row of seats. Their friend took out what she thought was a wad of Kleenex to clean her glasses. From the look on Bowman’s face they knew something was wrong. It turned out she had taken out a sanitary pad.
Tomorrow, I’m going golfing with Ian and then we are all going to a hockey game.
