Boat cleaning – yuk!

Boat cleaning has been utmost on our mind. We have chosen to keep the boat right at the yard where we had it bottom painted. It just seemed to make more sense than trying to get it back to where we normally keep it and then turn back around and head right back up to […]

The boat – she’s floating again…

The boat has been on the hard at Wayfarers Marina in Minnesott Beach for about the last six weeks while getting her ready for our trip. She has nice new zinc’s and bottom paint. We also had an auto-pilot added and a new 12″ Garmin chartplotter.  WAY more easy for our eyes to focus on. […]

Orange Creamsicle Cake – lowfat – only 3 ingredients…

Orange Creamsicle Cake – low fat – only three ingredients. WOW!! I knew that I had to try this recipe. Son and daughter-in-law were coming to visit a few weeks ago and I started to agonize over what to cook. Yeah, I know they are family but cooking is not my forte anymore and cooking […]

Wordless Wednesday – American Goldfinch on branch…

The American Goldfinch  is such a pretty bird and the males just got their color back.  I love watching them as they flit around. Once they turn this pretty yellow color, you know that spring has arrived!

Full “Pink Moon” of April 25, 2013…

This was the full “pink” moon as seen from my backyard in North Carolina last night. Unfortunately, the folks in the United States saw more of a golden moon. A partial lunar eclipse caused  the moon to appear pink on the other side of the world. It may not be pink but it sure is […]

Yawning Cardinal – what?!

Have you ever seen a yawning cardinal? I didn’t think that birds yawned but honest…he sat on a branch and yawned wide. At first I thought he was going to call but the mouth just opened wider and nary a sound came out. Note how his wings are sort of stretched out. I guess I […]

Aquarium – Pine Knoll Shores, North Carolina

The Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores, North Carolina is a short drive from our home.  I had never been to an aquarium before we moved here but I find it is an interesting place to go.  It is, of course, geared for the kids but it’s a pretty neat place for us big kids. The […]
