We were this close to Darius Rucker!

Lady Antebellum were just great performers!

Thompson Square were a great opening act.

All we can say is it was amazing! Thompson Square, Darius Rucker and Lady Antebellum!  IT WAS JUST TERRIFIC!

Headin' Out to Lady Antebellum Concert!

Myron scored some amazing 5th row center seats for the Lady Antebellum concert last night in Raleigh.

Thompson Square and Darius Rucker, of Hootie and the Blowfish fame, were the opening acts. We packed a tailgait lunch and got duded up in our country best and headed out to the show. Here we are just mugging for the camera in our best attire. We didn't bring the pistols! LOL

The Poplar is History

In our back yard we had a very dead tall poplar tree. We feared it would fall onto our house in a bad storm.
We hired a real local Tree Service man named Forrest Steele ( not a joke!). He was a real down to earth, hard workin', chainsaw swingin', North Carolinian. So... here is the photo story of the downed tree. Now the woodpeckers will have to peck elsewhere!

Steph & Michael at OBX

Myron's sister Stephanie and her husband Michael are here at the Outer Banks of NC with us. We are enjoying great weather and grilling great food at our beach house in Nags Head. Four miles south of our house is the Bodie Island Lighthouse. Build in 1872 it is a working light but is now undergoing repairs so it can be reopened in March permitting people to climb its stairs to the top! The lighthouse is not as famous as the Hatteras Lighthouse but just a beautiful. Stephanie and Michael are posed before it here.

I love lighthouses and this one is my favorite and so close to my house.  Today, Saturday, we chartered a boat and will try to catch some Cobia or Mahi Mahi for dinner! Michael is the exceptional fisherman, so I am sure we will be lucky!
Smile if you love OBX!!!

Vineyard in Saxapahaw

Saxapahaw on the Haw River, was settled by the Sissapahaw Indians and became a mill town when the colonial settlers founded it. Now it is a quaint village in NC just East of Chapel Hill. It reminds me of Vermont, minus the mountains.  We went to a local Vineyard, tasted the wines and enjoyed the beautiful grape vines . The vineyard/ winery is called The Benjamin Winery. Another beautiful day in NC!

Flowers at Our House

We have been busy with our flowers and making our yard a haven for birds . They love to splash in the bird bath and the Firefighter rose, in honor of my son Paul the firefighter, is in bloom! Cardinals, bluebirds, finches and chickadees enjoy the nature preserve that is our yard!

Love Anna and Myron
