Thoughts While ShavingWe dodged some bad weather yesterday and last night. Forecast for today … sunny, with a high near 80 … Mostly clear tonight, low around 52 degrees. Thursday, sunny with high near 83. Looking ahead, 30% chance or rain Sunday thru Monday night…

North of us yesterday … heavy rain and thunderstorms.

Some important dates are upcoming

May 19 & 20, White Lake Water Festival
May 29, Memorial Day
June 18, Father’s Day

Had someone asked recently when Happy Valley sub-division was first inhabited … mid 1960s … Maybe a half dozen or so original owners still reside on Happy Valley Road.

Sad state of affairs in the US … Seems shooting deaths are getting closer to home … Among the latest … 3 died in Whiteville over the past weekend in one outbreak…

Looking forward to White Lake Water Festival … Much preparation for the annual event … Looking forward to sitting on the pier, dangling my feet in the water … It’s what some senior citizens do…

Understand some big news may be forthcoming, in the not so distant future, related to economic development in Bladen County … Exciting times…

2023 Bladen We Care Golf Tournament just around the corner … Over 70 teams signed up, and 3 or 4 more on standby … Set for mid to late June…

Someone purchased a scratch-off lottery ticket in the recent past … Deadline past for redemption recently … That someone lost $1 million bucks … sold in the New Hanover, Brunswick County area…
