Published on Thursday, December 16, 2010 by Katherine I am sorry Man Over Board, but I have found someone new to covet from afar.  A man’s man.  He is well dressed, suave and croons with a velvet voice that was surely created by angels.  Once you see him, I’m sure you will understand. Ladies, get ready to dump your men and stand in line.  I’ll share.  He is almost too much for me.  Dim the lamp, light th...

Published on Monday, November 15, 2010 by Katherine I’m a rollercoaster girl, through and through.  Nothing is better than the thrill of being strapped in and climbing slowly… click, click, click, higher, click, click, click up, up, higher, higher….  I LOVE IT.

Published on Friday, September 17, 2010 by Katherine Thank you to everyone who has left a comment on my post about Dottie.  I am not going to answer comments on that particular post, simply because I just can't.  But what I can do is thank all of you for giving me virtual hugs, support and a shoulder to cry on.  It means so much. Things are still pretty raw over here.  Not much happiness and too few smiles.  We ...

Published on Tuesday, September 7, 2010 by Katherine When my parents built the beach house in 1980, there were herds of wild horses roaming the Outer Banks.  These horses were on a Spanish Ship that broke up during a storm long ago.  They made it to shore and soon adapted to the wild life on the beaches of North Carolina. Sadly, our area became populated over the years, bringing cars that flew through the curvy...

Published on Monday, September 6, 2010 by Katherine So here we are in the Outer Banks, a day after Hurricane Earl blew through.  Driving towards our home we saw plenty of side streets covered in water but no apparent damage to homes.  Other than the leaves and branches filling the middle of the road there was very little sign of a recent hurricane. Until we went to the beach!  As soon as we pulled in to the d...

Published on Tuesday, August 24, 2010 by Katherine Last week I came across a box of Crickettes at a friend’s house.  “Crickettes?  Are these really….  EWWWW!”  Indeed, he had a box of Salt and Vinegar flavored crickets on his table.  Salt and vinegar crickets.  AND HALF THE BOX WAS GONE. I sat and stared at them.  I flipped over the box and read the back: Drumstick?  Flank?  Wings?  Would I eve...

Did I swim THIS weekend in the ocean?  Let's see.  Crab larvae?  Check.  54 degree water?  Check.  Outer Banks jelly fish?  Check.
