Sept. 16

I went downtown Wednesday night and stopped at Circa 1922 for dinner. I'm getting good sitting at the bar alone and enjoying the people I meet. Then on to see Winter's Bone, a disturbing movie that I won't forget for awhile yet am glad I saw.

Thursday, September 16

Up at 5 to take John & Jess to the airport. They were flying to Albany to spend some time with Jess's sister and then on to MA for their friend Josh's wedding. John is in the wedding and has spent some great times with Josh in Bermuda (where Josh lives, lucky man). Then they are heading to NH to see Jess's parents. Back home on Tuesday.

Headed to the beach after the airport and was able to watch the sunrise. I still cannot believe how lucky I am to be in such a beautiful place.

Dave stopped by to put on my new license plate (singular, only one!) and we carried a 90 lb. package containing the new headboard for my bed upstairs. Dave is coming back Sunday to put that together for me.

Went over to the Oceanic and met up with some of the Senior Ladies of Wilmington for dinner on the pier. Back home to hang out with Dave a bit. He had put in a load of laundry, gone to the pier to fish, and stopped back to wait for it to finish. I think I run the best laundromat around since he left with clean clothes and a bag of food!
