Vanity Plate for Myron

So.. you know that our beach house is called TangoOBX and you know we are Tango enthusiasts.
Myron got his new vanity plate for his  NC License plate for his car.
I don't need one on my car because I have an official OBX plate because I use the OBX address as my driver's license address so I can get on the island if there is a hurricane and they only allow residents.
Thought you would enjoy it as much as we got a kick out of it.
Love
Anna and Myron

Gone Country!!!


Ok... so Myron and I are going to see Brad Paisley, the country singer, in concert on Sept 25th! We got awesome seats and plan on some good ole' country tunes.So in honor of our being North Carolinians for 4 years today`(definitely below the Mason Dixon line) and our debut at a Country Western concert, we decided to get decked out in the appropriate gear. We purchased original Stetson and Resistol hats, Nocona and Lucchese boots, a western shirt and dress ....all`made in the US of A because we have GONE COUNTRY! Wait till we post pix of us in our new duds.

Yee Haa!!
Love ya'll Anna and Myron

Post Hurricane Irene at OBX!





Well, Irene did lots of damage from OBX all the way to Vermont. The new beach enhancement of 400 new feet of sand saved many houses and did what it was supposed to do. Luckily our house in Nags Head suffered not at all except for the Albermarle Sound flood waters, mud, algae and seaweed that came under the house with debris. The house was without electricity for 4 days but when we got there, we simply had a day of cleanup under the house and in the shed. There was real swampy smell that got to Myron and his allergy attack was rather fierce, but we scraped, hosed and bleached and now it is pristine. We had no loss of anything of value at all even though stuff in the shed was totally water logged. A day in the sun, bleach and hose was all that was needed. Then we were able to enjoy spectacular weather and warm waves. Our Outer Banks Pier withstood the onslaught of Irene and we enjoyed shrimp and plenty of beer. We even enjoyed a neighbor's hot tub !! I love OBX . However, we were grieved to hear of the devastation in Vermont with the loss of historic covered bridges, homes and lives. None of my family or friends were in any way harmed or had loss of any kind. Vermonters are resilient and neighborly and will come through this stronger! Love Anna and Myron
