I hope this finds all members safe and well.  In a few days we’ll be celebrating Labor Day.  It seems as though Memorial Day, the unofficial beginning of summer, was only a short time ago.  With the recent heat indices in the 110–115-degree range, most of us will gladly welcome the relief that September’s cooler…

I hope this finds all CFMC members well and enjoying our traditionally hot summer here in southeastern North Carolina.  Now that the July 4th holiday is behind us, we can get ready for the next big celebration, Labor Day.  The summer makes us appreciate the blessings of living in an area that other folks only…

Can 2023 be half over? I’m afraid so.  As we enter the second half of this year, we’re seeing shorter hours of daylight, longer lines at our favorite restaurants, more traffic, and crowds everywhere.  Welcome to summer in southeastern North Carolina. We shouldn’t be surprised because after all, those large crowds are here for the…

After a beautiful spring, we find that summer is just around the corner. Even before summer’s official arrival on June 21, we’re seeing the influx of visitors to our area and the assurance that hot, humid days are sure to follow.  June also brings us other dates of celebration including Flag Day and the birthday…

Spring is in full bloom and summer is just around the corner. As I write this month’s column, Judy and I are in Boise, Idaho for a reunion. Spring is a later arrival here with snow cover at the higher elevations. Spring blooms are about 3-4 weeks behind our area, but you can tell it’s…

Not yet!  March is here and with it, St. Patrick’s Day and the much awaited coming of spring.  We’ve been teased lately with spring-like weather, but the 70- and 80-degree temperatures that have blessed our area for the past couple of weeks are premature  As any native North Carolinian knows, when March comes in like…

Hello February! The new year of 2023 is well underway. Although we’re in the midst of winter, spring is less than two months away. The CFMC has lots of great events and activities in mind for this year. We started the year with a very well-attended holiday party and annual meeting on Sunday, January 8. …

Happy New Year!  As 2022 fades in the rear view mirror, we look forward to what 2023 might bring.  As far as the Cape Fear Miata Club, 2023 represents our 30th year as a club.  Many things have changed over the past 30 years but a constant of our club have been the hallmarks of…

Welcome to December along with winter’s official arrival on the 21st. Remember that the days’ daylight hours start to become longer on that day as well!  What a year it has been.  But is it really almost over?  Believe it or not, we’re heading into the final days of 2022.  As we look back on…
