Why not Pawleys

The happiest I have been in my 50 something years of living is when I lived at Pawleys Island. Besides living at the beach the people were so warm and wonderful. They all accepted people for who they were and there were no games played, because we all enjoyed living and did not care about position or status. Remember the first time I met Jay. A very smart guy but rough around the edges. This guy has a masters in education and was a Rugby player. He can paint and is very good at it, but like so many people of my generation he said the hell with all the pretending. You have to respect the dude. Then one day walking across the causeway I met Os and Steve. Come to find out they were both very good friends and both were childhood buddies in Ohio. Os was one on the most likeable guys you will ever meet. He is so layed back and enjoys people and living. His heart is as big as he is. Steve is a brillant engineer with a company and works hard. He still has some of the Joe College left in him, but he is a good friend that likes just being Steve. Sometimes you want to kill him while your hugging him, if that makes any sense. While getting to know Os and Steve I met this girl named Ashley. Highly energetic individual who love to fish, hunt, shoot pool and drink !! She was a very hard worker who took her job very serious. She was also like the others, very friendly and once you knew her you just love the mystery about her that everyone could see. Shortly after that I met a couple by the name of Matt and DeAnna. Those guys warmed up to my wife like they knew her forever. I truly love those two people like my own. They are so much like me or should I say our personalities are just about identical. I love joking with DeAnna and watching her, but you have to know when to do this because if you dont you might get your head handed to you, but you have to love her. Mr. Matt is like me. We are the Giddy Up Cowboys and when we get together watch out Easy Street. The staff I met at the local watering hole are wonderful. We have Marie, Blaze, Travis, Church, Marny, and of course Murphy. As Toby Keith said so well, "I love this Bar". Lets dont for get TEN TOES UP! Love those guys and still see them play in this area. There are so many others such at TP, Stanley, Terry, Thor, and Ned. If you ever meet all my buddy's at Pawleys you will love them the same I do and wonder why in the hell you had to leave. Sometimes life is not fair and what you have to do is not fun, but in my heart there will always be Pawleys Island
