Turtles

In the last post, Laura commented about the turtles that roam around. Here you go...
There were about 5 more turtles on this log but they jumped off just before I took the pictures. (Above)

A Few Photos

Heather and I went to the beach the other day after a big storm and there where these things all over the beach. We thought they looked like jelly fish but they wern't very gelatinous so i took a few photos and looked them up on the internet when we got home. They are Cannonball Jelly Fish. They are a little larger the a softball and their poison is used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. Creepy.



I took this at a local BBQ resturant. Thats right, scripture right on the side of the bottle. We really are in the south.

Mom's North Carolina Dinner

Once again, I would like to say how important is was for us to have mom come out here to be with us. With that said, I would like you to see what mom had to eat while she was out here. If she had her cholesterol checked when she got back it was probably more that the national debt. Now you can see why...

There are fried pickles, french fries, fried chicken strips, fried green tomatoes, fried okra, fried hushpuppies, fried scallops, and fried flounder. Can you guess what is what?

Welcome to the South.

Julian's Marker


Once again, I would like to thank everyone for their immeasurable generosity. With the money you all graciously gave to Julian we were able to completely pay for his funeral and have enough left over to get this marker. Through our loss and the compassion everyone has shown us; I have really come to know the appreciation I have for our families and friends. I love you all very much.
