THURSDAY, JULY 12TH
Recovering from the long drive and enjoying the new deck at the Topsail Arms at the south end of Topsail Island. Took a long walk along the beach and found quite a few interesting shells and the "lima bean" stones.
Did some wading in the water and pitched the umbrella for some beach reading.
FRIDAY, JULY 13TH
Another walk on the beach. The waves have created a nice tidal pool which is always a special place.
Highlight of today was the arrival of my Aunt Louise, Cousin Debbie and her husband Rob, Aunt Louise still lives in Mt. Olive. Rob and Debbie are now from Petersburg, Virginia. Rob is retired and Debbie still works. We had a great lunch that Mom prepared of shrimp and crabcakes.
Rob is a history buff like me and says his house is on land that was formerly City Point which was the huge Union supply depot during the Civil War. he once found a canteen while digging in his yard. Later this month he goes on an archaeological dig at the site of an early 19th century pottery place.
After they left, I went over to Surf City's Sound Side Park where the Uncle Harry Band was playing at the band shell. On the way back, I picked up a two-liter bottle of Cheerwine pop, a NC classic.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
