OOPS, I forgot to tell you

We have a manager at this marina who has a friend that is dying of cancer.  He asked me to take care of his funeral when he dies which should be shortly.....I explained what I knew about North Carolina law, after I spoke to a North Carolina funeral director.
I guess I will do it, but I have to remain within the  laws of NC.





UPDATE:

Bruce died on February 4th, 2014....

Secondly....between funerals and weather, we have decided to stay put here in Oriental, NC for a few more months. Earlier today it was 65 degrees and sunny, and although it is 80 degrees and sunny in the Florida keys...we will remain here.

We are flying into Florida for a 10 day much needed vacation in the Florida Keys. Then back to New Bern, NC and Oriental on the 19th. We plan on attending the Miami Boat show which runs from the 13th to the 17th of February. On February 21st ( my 60th B-Day), we leave New Bern for New York. Sometime during the second in April we will resume by leaving NY for Oriental, NC.

Woke up this AM.....and

Damm...sure enough, It is only 12 degrees and there is about an inch of ice and snow. So, I said to Dottie......"Well we have a car, lets drive south and spend a few days just moseying around South Carolina for a while.. We can't go anywhere with the boat because it is just too freaking cold outside.

So off we go to Myrtle Beach, SC for a few days.....where at least they have temps in 30's and 40's......and no snow.

We had a great time and ate like pigs.....you have to remember, just about all restaurants are seafood buffets in Myrtle Beach, and it is served Calabash style. It has been over 40 years since I was there, and as the saying goes, it grew and grew....a lot less golf but a lot more restaurants, stores and malls.
Kind of an urban sprawl that I like!!.

Tonight, which is our last night in SC.
We went to a German Restaurant. The food was great and served home style.
Now I know why German women and men are a bit chunky.....lol....all you can eat, $13.95 per person incudes drinks and dessert.
And entertainment was an older German fellow playing his accordion. We had a great time
