Myrtle Beach

Happy New Year to all!

We spent the first week in January in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I had a business meeting and the good wife went along and spent her mornings quilting. Yes, she took her friend, the sewing machine. The cleaning ladies at the Marriott Resort at Grand Dunes were certainly interested in her creations. We had a great time and what great seafood! We had broiled seafood platters that were amazing.

A cute food story concerning the wife has to be shared. She decided that instead of eating in the resort’s restaurant for breakfast that it would be healthier to eat breakfast in the room. We stopped by the local grocery and she purchased instant oatmeal, soup, microwave popcorn, etc. On Thursday she decided that she would fix oatmeal in the microwave. Having stirred the milk and cereal in a microwave bowl, she placed the food in the microwave, which was located in the entertainment unit above the refrigerator. She pressed the button and discovered that she had locked her oatmeal in the SAFE!!! What she thought was the microwave was the room’s security safe. Oh, what fun we have in this life.
