A Week in the Outer Banks!

I had a wonderful week in the Outer Banks with several ladies in my subdivision. Here are a couple of group shots - very Outer Banks tourist shots, aren't they? We are at the Lighthouse at Cape Lookout (but couldn't climb it because they were in the midst of repainting it; one of the perils of going off season). The othe is at the Right Brother's Memorial at Nag's Head.

A Day in Rodanthe

Do you recognize this house? It was the one used in the movie "A Night in Rodanthe." It's actually in Avon which is next to Rodanthe, but it really is a REAL house. I walked in the same spots as Richard Geere! Unfortunately it has been condemned and will be gone with the next hurricane.

Me as a SHRIMP!

One must do something silly while at the beach! We were in Nags Head and found a couple of cutouts to stick out head through - so of course we did.

The group at Jockey's Ridge

This is the group of ladies from my subdivision that I spent a week with at the beach. We have just finished running to the top of Jockey's Ridge. JoJane stayed back at the cottage and Karen is taking the picture. Back row, left to right: Frances, Jo, Connie, Cheryl, Lynn, Kathleen, and Pat. Front row: Marilyn and Priscilla (because we can still kneel down and get back up on our own).

Dolphin puzzle completed...

Four days, thirteen people, and a thousand piece puzzle with only one small picture and no dimensions given. The puzzle was from a yard sale, so we didn't even know if all the pieces were there. They wee, and here is the result!

Outer Banks!

On this vacation I actually wore a bathing suit! Of course I am taking this picture and did not appear on my blog in a bathing suit... Kay, Sharon, Pat, Frances, and Marilyn would kill me if they knew this picture ended up on the internet!

Mom Turns 90!

Thom and I went down to Burlington, NC last week to celebrate mom's 90th birthday (October 25th). I took a Dulce de Leche cake for her. The kitchen staff lit the candles (actually only one per decade) then brought it out carrying fire extinguishers and sang happy birthday.
