10/5/14 - On 10/3 we both now had to find a dentist.  While in Shallotte, my upper brace holding my dentures was loose so had to go into to have it tightened.  It was a great dentist office.  My aunt on Friday had a loose tooth off  her dentures and she was not quite as lucky as I was because her dentures will have to go to the lab.  Aunt Esther did a temporary fix for the weekend and on Monday we are taking in the dentures for complete repair.  We then stopped off at IHOP for breakfast/lunch after the appointment since we did not have breakfast before the appt.  We had known that it was expecting to rain alot in the afternoon so we did not make plans for much else. We did walk around a strip mall to get some exercise and found a used book store so Esther got some books and then it really started to rain so we went home as fast as possible.  It rained all night.

10/4 - Since it was a beautiful day, we decided to pack a little lunch and head for Hilton Head, South Carolina.  We had approximately 50 miles from Bloomingdale.  We had a nice drive and in the process found an parking lot that was close to a beautiful beach. The name of the beach area was Coligney Beach.  We parked and walked down to the water but did not really plan to stay.  Just before you got to the beach, there were restrooms, outdoor showers and a rather large gazebo which had several small tables and Adirondack chairs so we sat in the shade and had lunch.  There was also on either side of the walk way, three swing sets.  On the left, there was a lot of sun so when the right side opened up, Esther and I went and sat in the swing for quite a while and just watched people.  We then left and stopped off at Walmart since we needed a few groceries and I needed yarn to finish the baby afghan that I am needed to finish ASAP.  Well, it wasn't on our list an guess what - I forgot the yarn!!  So now need to stop again and get it!  We got home, had dinner and off to bed.
