July is a big time of year for Southport. Last year all NC 4th of July Festival events were canceled. This year, a lot of the events were held but most of them were held on Oak Island instead of in Southport. The parade was canceled and the 4th of July fireworks were held on Oak Island also. We have…
Finally….we were able to attend our Taco and Tequila festival. Tickets were purchased in 2019 for a March 2020 event. But…COVID happened. They rescheduled the event 5 times and June 26 2021 we were finally able to have our fun. Scott, me, and two other couples went for the day. We had all gotten fun shirts to wear but because…
This Memorial Day weekend we didn’t have a house full of visitors. Scott and I went to the beach for a little bit on Saturday. The beach was already very crowded when we got there and it was a super windy day. After the beach, we hung out at home and took it easy. On Sunday, I headed out for…

We had a quiet Easter this year. The weather was beautiful after a cold start to the weekend. Here are some pictures from around our house and such. We finished the firepit area!
