So I’m trying on a new sweater I bought and I ask Jared the usual – “Does this sweater make me look fat?” Jared replies, “Well, it’s not so much the sweater that makes you look fat, it’s pretty much the fat that makes you look fat.” Okay, so I knew that anyway. When I was checking out the sweater, sadly I received the special Tuesday night senior citizens discount for people over 55. Tonight I’m fat and happy, in a sad sort of way.
So, I entered 44 things in the fair, ranging from art to crafts to photography to cookies. I just added the total money amount up and figured I’ve earned roughly $130.50
Prizes are:
1st-13, 2nd-16, 3rd-2, 4th-3, Merits-2, Nothing-6, Unknown-2 (too many [inexperienced] photos blocking the view)
Jared, wadaya think? Enter a kuksa cup under sculptured wood item? A space invader belt under novelty creations-useful-large?
Bags are packed, sheets and towels are bagged up, road snacks are ready to go. The first wave of beach travelers will be watching the Steelers, taking a nap, and hitting the road. Everyone – have a safe trip, take your time and be aware. We should arrive at Wrightsville around 4:00 p.m if things go well. Call if you need anything!!
trying to assemble my ipod with beach music, any requests?
So has anybody heard from Gerald? Is he going to be making an appearance at Wrightsville this year? I was hoping to run into him on the 4th of July, but i didnt see him around anywhere…
So Joel and I went to check out the beach house yesterday… Pretty sweet!
Here are some pics
Then my camera died.
Anyway, please note come changes from the pics on Intracoastal’s site:
the living room is now the dining table, where the dining table was is now more kitchen
there is now a trellis above some of the top floor deck (shown in one pic, actually)
tv is much larger (i think they probably had another tv…b/c the one on the website is so small!)
The first floor consists of 4 bedrooms, 3 queen, 1 with 2 twins and 2 bathrooms, one attached to a bedroom. The bedroom in the front of the house has a kitchenette, a sofa, and access to the deck and the outside steps. Upstairs: deck, kitchen/dining area, living room w/ 2 denim couches (wouldn’t be the beach without denim couches), 1 master bedroom and one bedroom with 2 twins and another bathroom.
The location is great- we’ll be at public access 18 if you want to invite anyone (20 E Henderson).
Can’t wait to see y’all!!
Just booked a flight. Set to arrive at ILM with Khara on friday the 14th at 11:24 pm. Gotta leave on friday the 21st at 2:35pm. This year is going to be the best one yet. Can’t wait to see yall.
Was curious as to what NC has to offer park wise. Found this site – NCParks.gov
The natives will have to let us know what they think.
These ones look cool:
Fort Macoon “The park is also home to a Civil War fort with a history as intricate and unique as the waterways of the sound. Visit Fort Macon to enjoy the land’s natural beauty and soak up some history.”
Jockey’s Ridge “At Jockey’s Ridge State Park you can experience the world of the desert. Shifting sands, high winds, extreme temperatures and a lack of water make the park resemble barren environments such as the Sahara Desert.”
Dismal Swamp “Feel your daily stresses melt away as you cross the historic Dismal Swamp Canal and walk along the 300-foot boardwalk into this geological wonder. Experience first hand the lush swamp forest and get up-close and personal with the wide variety of wildlife.”
Goose Creek “Giant, old oaks draped in Spanish moss welcome you to this special world where broad, lazy Goose Creek joins the Pamlico River”
Lake Waccamaw “At Lake Waccamaw, you can view one of the greatest geological mysteries of the eastern United States—the phenomenon of Carolina bays. Limestone bluffs along the north shore neutralize Lake Waccamaw’s water, making the lake different from any other Carolina Bay. Nearby, you can catch a glimpse of a botanical wonder—the Green Swamp.”
Merchant’s Millpond “An “enchanted forest,” primitive species of fish relatively unchanged over millions of years, towering bald cypress trees with massive trunks, luxuriant growths of Spanish moss—this is Merchants Millpond State Park. Here, coastal pond and southern swamp forest mingle, creating one of North Carolina’s rarest ecological communities.”
