Terri and I went to Ocracoke for the day last Friday, it was really nice to get away even if it was only for the day.
While there we saw Nanny and Papa's cottage. Hard to believe there's more than one, small world isn't it? Or as Steven Wright once said "it's a small world but I wouldn't want to paint it"

Here is a picture of a rare bird called a "seagull." I think that's what the locals called them. We saw several during our visit.

Here is another picture of another type of bird; we didn't see nearly enough of these on the beach; got to love the bikini wahine girls in 60 degree weather..........

Speaking of wahines, Terri bundled up but still enjoyed the sun
Me in my waders; Terri described them as "unflattering." Going to look that word up when I get home; I think it means "hot."

One for you Mr. Vanacore: "Heh, come over here, me laddy, learn something. First you have a little shot of Jameson's.You never know, you might have to cook for 20 guys someday. You see, you start out with a little bit of oil. Now we have a shot of Bailey's.Then you fry some garlic and take a shot of Bushmill's. Then you throw in some tomatoes, tomato paste, you fry it; ya make sure it doesn't stick. You get it to a boil; you shove in all your sausage and your meatballs and knock down a Guinness; heh…? And a little bit o' wine and another Bushmill's. An' a little bit o' sugar, and that's my trick."

......................and don't forget the cannolis.
In northern VA, be home Thursday in time for the birthday weekend fishing extravaganza, happy 55th FO (tomorrow); guess this puts you in another age demographic doesn't it?
