Bridget caught this shot right before the ferry left for another run.....

Fidelis/Ocracoke/Thanksgiving Week

Recent Adventures In Washington

We recently visited Washington, NC on our Thanksgiving week vacation....
this is Fidelis tucked in on the waterfront, which was much more pleasant than I had ever imagined.....
really well layed out, nice bathhouse, and if you like brickwork, this is a great place to find it....

Christmas Day

Fireplace Yule Log Video @ Yahoo! Video

So, all the presents are unwrapped, all the paper has been taken to the trash cans..... and Budge is extracting the family turkey from the brine it's been sitting in for the last 3 days.... soon to be in the oven, filling the boat with yummy smells, and providing an extra amount of warmth! Can't wait. Thanks to our family and friends for all the wonderful surprises..... the boys are completely thrilled!
Here's our fireplace for the day, while we listen to our Christmas music...HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS!

Deep Breath

So, pictures have been saved, Facebook is now closed, and a bit of a sigh of relief... It was honestly starting to feel a bit strange.... glad to be free of it. So we've got all these pictures now.... some of which haven't been posted to our blog.... soooooo, I'm sure we'll be figuring out what to do with what, soon.... for now, let's not forget Peter and Gail (as well as Perry and Susan) should be getting closer to the keys.... Last we heard they were in Vero (Velcro) Beach, looking for some warmer weather.

Merry Christmas everyone....it's only a week away (almost!)

Old Bell @ The Old Church

From the oldest church in North Carolina.....Bath, North Carolina
Thanksgiving week

 

This is one of the bricks in the oldest church in North Carolina, which we visited while on Thanksgiving vacation, in Bath....

a lot of the inscriptions were so old, they were nearly unreadable....

Recent Activities

Just "recently" went out on Facebook and let everyone know that I'm going to shut down our Facebook account.... it's funny because I just recently had a conversation out here on the dock with big John about Facebook and the security settings, and not long after that they went and made a few new changes that sent me over the edge.... my wife had deleted her account just a week before, so that may have been a little incentive as well.....
Anyway, I said all that to say this.....we're probably going to be redirecting our attention back to our blog, just to "keep everyone in touch" with our whatnots and happenings. Hopefully we'll have a few new friends checking the blog out from time to time....

This blog needs an update anyway!
