Went to the Wrightsville Beach Farmers Market in the morning yesterday and bought some new sunflowers. Have decided to always have fresh flowers in the house.
Then I went to Airlie Gardens (http://www.airliegardens.org/) and became a member. It is only 2 miles away and there are trails through salt marshes, woodlands, gardens and even a screened butterfly park. There is a spectular oak tree with Spanish moss and a house scuplted entirely out of bottles!. I took some pictures that I will attach. Saw a green heron and some female wood ducks.
From there I enjoyed shopping for things I don't really need. Went to all the "good" stores... Costco, Target, Walmart, Lowes. I bought some plants for the front entrance, more bird feeders, lots of cat food, more organizer "stuff" for kitchen and bath... and more that I have already forgotten!
The realty agency sent over an electrican who is coming back today to fix my doorbell and the ceiling fan in my bedroom and put a new light fixture out front. I can get used to this renting idea!
I was going to go see the movie Please Give downtown, but ended up spending 45 minutes on the phone with the cable company. My TV and internet stopped working. The technician was not able to fix it and scheduled a repairman to come on THURSDAY. I was not happy. Now for some reason the internet is working... the TV is still messed up.
John is picking up my chaise lounge after work today (I hope... it just started raining!).
Tuesday morning I got up early to go and try to get my driver's license again. I thought they opened at 8:30 so I showed up at 8:15. There was already a line out the door just to get a number to take the written test. I guess I'm going to have to figure out how this system works. I didn't wait, so I am still officially a NJ driver.
