Although I am definitely parked in Arizona right now, here is one more story about my NC visit. Valerie persuades me to join her for a weekend stay on the riverfront in Wilmington, NC. She cunningly promises a gourmet lunch and free wine tasting at Duplin Winery on the way down to Wilmington to entice me.
In addition to her awesome company, the sweet wine and the most incredible pimento cheese sandwich I have ever eaten are a fabulous reward for taking this trip. Just to keep me entertained, she signs us up as directional cheerleaders for a Ironman Race through downtown Wilmington on Saturday. I have never attempted an Ironman race, but she has triumphantly completed a few.
She assures me that the runners appreciate lots of encouragement and cow bell ringing. I love to scream and yell at people as they run past me so this works for me. It helps that someone at the State Fair was giving away free cowbells and I absconded with a handful while I was there.
Loving the tutu and mermaid pants! Merry Christmas ?
I was lucky Valerie had a spare pair of Mermaid pants to loan me (LOL) – Merry Christmas to you too!
