This was ” The Pig 🐖 “This is where you go to learn all about the Pig and the standoff between USA 🇺🇸 and England 🏴🇬🇧.
Everything took place just before Canada 🇨🇦 became a country as England didn’t want to let go of its hold just yet.
Again, the Pig might disagree…If you want to be further involved with the story, use the two fingers’ effect to spread out the flyer shown above.
Here below, the next photo 📸 shows just was in dispute with the Red Line being what England believed, and the Blue Line is the United States version. If there had been a WAR, we would have lost and by a wide margin as England had war ships off the coast. It would have been brutal.
115 years from beginning to end in regards to Canada 🇨🇦 truly getting its Independence from the King 🤴 and Queen 👸. Patience in play here !
Both Camps are now protected as part of the National Historical Park with plenty to see 👀 and places to hike.
Now, in my twist to the story, the Pig 🐖 family hired a great lawyer and received a treasure chest of a settlement. The lawyer was the great, great, great grandfather to Travis Osborne, and here is one of those pigs living the dream today !
I’ve been getting a Slice from Cousin Vinnies Authentic New York Cafe for decades now. The gentleman who runs the place is authentic, as can be, just like our family friend of decades, Dennis Cerrie !
The view from Overlook Park is breathtaking, especially when you add in having a Washington State Ferry ⛴️ in the dock.
While yesterday was very much about sports, today will be about Friday Harbor and the rest of San Juan Island. Don’t get tripped up by the verbiage as this Island is called San Juan Island, and it is part of the San Juan Islands.
Throughout the day, I will be adding pics 📸 to this post in hopes of letting her sparkle ✨️. If it is of interest to you, please check back later today to see 👀 the day ! If not, you were able to see a couple of cool pics.
So, quite possibly, the coolest thing to do from Friday Harbor is to walk on the Inner Island Ferry boat, which is FREE to do. The green board shows you the other Islands that you will visit before you return.
Today we take the 8:45 and will be back at 11:10. Two ➕️ hours if Scenic views at no cost !

Rebecca and Ronnie headed back on the 5:40 sailing ⛵️ on the same inner island, ending an 8 hour window 🪟 with as good of company as one could keep.
Holding a certificate for two free rounds of golf ⛳️ at a place called The Legends in Myrtle Beach ⛱️, there was a tough decision to make this past Thursday morning.
The trip home was littered with scheduled stops ✋️across the three days, so the temptation to pass on the golf all together was very real . But you never know where you will find the next top shelf conversation or story, so it was off to the Pro Shop for check-in.
While I was turning in my certificate for the golf, the starter radioed in to see if I could play 30 minutes early because there was a group that was short one player. A quick trip back outside, and a few minutes later, the story begins.
The young man who would be my chauffeur for the round was two things, personable and a great striker of the golf ball. There was a slight backup at the first tee, and that allowed time for a round of introductions as it turned out that this was an extended family golfing outing with their being seven members in the group, all from Michigan.
It seemed odd to me that a well planned trip would only have seven members and not eight. The explanation of just how eight became seven was absolutely a testimony to God at work !
There were eight members in the group when they headed south, but the eighth golfer was back at the rental property recovering from a heart attack. The heart attack took place during the second round of the week…
Taking a story about a golfer having a mid-round heart attack to a God moment might seem like a reach, but the Doctor who treated him made quick work of connecting the dots.
The number of stints needed and the amount of blockage in the heart was astonishing, making the heart attack inevitable. The patient lives alone back in Michigan, and if it had happened at home, he likely is found after the damage was done.
But it happened on a golf course that was located within minutes of a hospital, with loved ones within feet of him….
The patient was comfortably resting, and the seven other members were back on the golf course doing what they came to town for !
A few golf ⛳️ shots were hit, and the conversation was absolutely enlightening for the nine hole loop. The groups made the turn and continued their trek around the ever so challenging layout.
My hope was that I would stumble upon a good conversation, and I left there with proof !
Waking up 90 minutes north of Charleston on a Saturday morning, I made a list of seven things I thought I could accomplish in a healthy manner.
In no order :
Support the military by attending The Citadel – Tennessee Tech football game ( 2pm – downtown )
Watch the Charleston Battery professional soccer ⚽️ team host the Indianapolis Eleven ( 6pm – Daniel Island 🏝)
Visit my favorite spot in the area and walk for 60 minutes on and near the beach ⛱️ on Sullivans Island 🏝.
Visit the Charleston International Airport 🛫 for no other reason than I love Airports.
Compile a minimum of 10,000 steps and not give it away by poor food choices.
Check ✔️ on the only home 🏡 that my beautiful bride 👰♀supervised the building of, from start to finish !
Make contact with Tenia Cattles, the Lady who somehow managed to keep us between the lines during a time when we desperately needed it !
The current owners are also kind to Vickey Ritchie !
We will circle 🔵 back and see 👀 if the discipline and focus necessary is in the cards????
It is okay to set difficult goals for yourself, and if / when you accomplish them, you will feel gratification !
Sullivans Island 🏝, SC

Tennessee Tech entered the day at 6-1 versus a 2-5 Bulldogs team, so it only being 14 – 10 at the break is a good place for the home team !
Solid 3rd quarter, only score came on a short field after a Bulldogs fumble. 21-10 as we start the fourth [4:18]
The Citadel added a field goal to make it a one score game at 21 – 13 !
Just inside of the final 2:00, the visitors punch in the KO score, now 28 – 13, and time to start thinking about the 5.1 .miles over to the soccer ⚽️ pitch.
28 – 13 is your final score, and the experience was a treat! The next stop ✋️ is Patriot Point 👉 5:06 pm[ 8,527 crowd]
