Homeward Bound

Our last day of golf was on Friday and the day was hot hot hot!  Did we mind?   Not at all.  We had a round of golf at Shipyard.  It was a day for taking photos and a day for loads of fun.  The week flew by and we had a group hug back at the unit.  The guys behind us, on the course, wouldn't have tolerated our affections.  After having appetizers, drinks and a breather before taking off to C.Qs,  in Sea Pine Plantation , we re-hashed the week and its adventures.  Those girls---they took so many photos of aligators---ugly big things that they are but still---they are God's creatures, too.
On Saturday, we left the unit by 10 a.m. sharp, stopped at Tanger 2 and then  went for a coffee.  We were on the road by 12 p.m.  The weather was iffy with heavy rains on and off throughout the day.  We encountered thick blankets of fog but nothing too serious that hampered our vision for driving.  Stopping at 8:30 p.m., we took two rooms at the Hampton Inn  in Summersville, West Virginia.  After we checked in, we were off to dinner at Applebee's.   Our waitress must have been very impressed with our good behavior as she continued to refer to us as sweety/honey---you know those syrupy words that middle-age and older women  are often called.  We just humored her and  I held my tongue and behaved myself by refraining from saying---"the names are Grace, Gracie, Teresa and Claudia!"  My dear friends have taught me patience and longsuffering---they REALLY are honeys.
