Hagan Stone Park - 3

On Tuesday we stayed around the campground in the morning and later drove over to get our America The Beautiful pass from the National Park Service at the Guilford Battleground Memorial Park. We decided to each get a pass just in case one was lost we would still have another one to use. It took all of about 10 minutes from the time we parked until the time we left to get our passes. After we left the park and on our way back we JUST HAD to stop at Stameys BBQ and eat lunch. Believe me the BBQ in Florida is nothing like it is in NC.

When we got through with lunch we decided to go over to Westminister Gardens and visit my parents and my brother Charles's graves. When we're in town we like to go over and see how the place is looking. This time we noticed an improvement as all the geese that once roamed the area were gone. When you have 10 - 15 geese around there's going to be a lot of droppings everywhere, but not this time, you could actually walk on the sidewalk and not step into ( you know ). We also have plots here so this will be our final resting place too!

On the way back we did the nostalgic tour of Greensboro as we drove by our old home on Juniper St. just to see what it looked like after we sold it 30 years ago. It still had the original bones, but a new front porch and rear deck had been added. As we drove back we decided to drop by Charles and Peggy's old home on Royalton Dr. since we were in the area. Not much had changed, but for some reason it seemed smaller!! A lot of fun memories were had in both of those homes.

Tuesday night we went to Red Lobster with the Saunders clan to celebrate Terry Cooper's birthday. The food was good and the company was exceptional!! Happy birthday Terry !!!

On Wednesday we went grocery shopping in the morning and on the way back we looked at some property for sale on the outskirts of Pleasant Garden. A man has two different plots of land for sale, one is 1 acre and the other is 2 acres. The land looks okay, there are a lot of trees and branches laying all over the place due to the bad ice storms they had this winter. Not sure if we're ready for this, we're going to sit back and keep a watch on this property.

In the afternoon we went to Cutting Edge Farms in Randleman to watch Kim and her BFF Kristie take a riding lessons. They have been riding several years and we watched as they practiced their riding and jumping over fences of various heights. Let me tell you, both of them did extremely good and Charlotte and I are very proud on them.

 

 

After we watched them practice we left and went to a local Mexican Resturant with the whole gang for dinner. I had the pleasure of eating with Cindy, Kristie, Kim, Krystal, Peggy, Loretta, and Charlotte, WOW, any guy would be jealous of me, being with 7 ladies!!!! Back to the RV for a little rest before heading to bed .
