April Home, the Kids and Basketball

April 5-7

About the best thing that can happen on returning from several months away from home is to see Anna and Evan.

This weekend, they came to visit - and we love it.

I do believe that Evan has grown even taller if that's possible.

Of course, we had to take the new Hobie sailboat out.  Both Anna and Evan are good sailors, so off they went.  Makes all the trouble getting it home worth it.

We had a great weekend.

We have some limbs in the top of both the cedar and live oak trees in the backyard which pose a hazard.  We had a recommendation for Fred Brown to do the tree work.  He came almost immediately and cleared the hazards and did some general trimming.

And, of course, Clara and I have to check out the fishing.  

And it was great.  We as many as we wanted and they were all among the largest blue fish we've ever caught.

The Farmers Market on the grounds of the county courthouse has become an increasingly popular attraction.

We finished out the month with a trip in the motor coach to Myrtle Beach to watch Evan and his team play in a basketball tournament.  Regrettably, Evan had a cold and wasn't able to play very much, but we enjoyed every minute, plus his team won their division.
