Yesterday morning I looked out our kitchen window and saw Pegasus, the winged divine stallion….. He wasn’t white like the mythical creature, but his wings were. I called for Bill to grab his camera and a long lens and come quickly! One of the wild horses was munching away on sea oats in our neighbors’ […]

A race on a Wednesday? Of course! Every day is Saturday at the beach! Last summer without realizing there was a 5K every Wednesday in Corolla, we came down to our beach house for a quick stay in August from Wednesday to Wednesday, and weren’t able to run in the race. I decided to plan […]

It’s that time of year when vacationers are flocking to the beach for a week of fun in the sun, relaxing by the water’s edge, napping, and perhaps enjoying a little too much good food and drink. There’s nothing wrong with that because we’re a nation of hard workers and deserve our well-earned vacations; however, […]

Once a year, my mom’s siblings and families gather along the North Fork of the Holston River for a two-day family reunion, and that two-day reunion happened to be this past weekend.
