As you might remember, my folks visited this week.

Saturday

 
They arrived Saturday afternoon and wanted to go out to dinner.

Mom chose Red Robin (Yum!); so we piled into the van and away we went.

Halfway there I realized I was still in my work shirt.

Luckily, Red Robin is attached to the mall, and one of the stores had a sale.

 

Hooray for MST3K!

 

Sunday

 
On the way out the door for Sunday church, Mom realized that Dad and I dressed very similarly:
 

 
As we were close to the beach, we visited Fort Macon and Atlantic Beach between the morning and evening services.
 
First up, Fort Macon:
 

 

As I wandered around looking for unique architectural details, I noticed something about the springer.
 

 

Then, it was on to the beach!

 And onto the beach, as it were.

 

 

That evening, we were back at church. What luck it was a fellowship night!
 

 

Monday

 

We went shopping for groceries to make apple pie.

 

 

Dad also cleaned our coffee pots. He did a good job, even if I did have to stop him from trying to take apart the Keurig.

 

Tuesday

 

We visited the Farmer’s Market and Tryon Palace

 

 

 

I made a Venison Roast, which I didn’t take a picture of; however, we did have apple pie and vanilla ice cream for desert:

 

 

Wednesday

 

Mom and Dad left Wednesday morning, but not before we ate breakfast at Baker’s Kitchen

 

 

Thursday – Saturday

 
Soon after they left, I developed all the symptoms of a simply wonderful summer cold.

So, I used the time to catch up on my TBR:
