I'm just chillin' by my lonesome tonight. Rickster is in the field helping his brother-in-law with harvest.

Hope the weather cooperates for your beach day tomorrow. I got overbaked in the fake bake today... ACK. A bit pinkish on my stomach and back at the moment, but I have to try to build some kind of a base on this ghostly-white skin. I tan so slowly I'll probably still have to do the spray tan.

Today was my fourth visit; hopefully a few more before we sail so my legs don't look like Casper.

You Damn Betcha. The Kindred Spirit is a mailbox hidden up in the dunes on Sunset Beach. Some unidentified person put it there as well as a bench to sit on.There are note books and pens, and people come and go and read whats written and respond to it...or just write whatever comes to mind. Its a very peaceful place,you would just love it.The person who introduced me to it bought me a matted picture of it when we bough our house.One of my favorite things.

Eva, Sunset Beach is right on the NC/SC state line, just four miles from Ocean Isle Beach in NC. It's very nice, too. Little River is in SC and is about halfway between Ocean Isle and Myrtle Beach.

Sounds fabulous!! Oooh we can meet up at the famous OIB!!!

I have a lot of fun exploring to do in the area! I've been to MB, only a long weekend though. I've been to Savannah more than a few times, one of my favoritest places on earth I've been to Charlotte once, also a long weekend. I found Murrell's Inlet by accident because I love to wander off and explore, oh it was an amazing day...I loved them all! Never been to OIB!!

I know it's been there for at least about ten years. The first time I saw it there was a heart-breaking letter from a man whose wife had left him the day before he wrote it. His pain and anguish were so painful to read that we both (the Psycho and I) had tears in our eyes.

Little did I know that I would be in a position to be able to write the same kind of letter just a few years later.

Whoever that poor man was, I hope he has moved on to a better place where he realizes, as I do now, that her leaving was a blessing in the long run.

Wow this is cool!

I have always know a "kindred spirit" was is someone who feels and thinks the way you do.

Wonder what I might find in that mailbox? I will be looking for it.
