Happy Birthday Jackson!

We started off Easter weekend with a celebration of Jackson's twentieth birthday. He's in the middle of final exams so I'm sure he's busy all week; we're looking forward to spending time with him this summer.

Easter Sunday: Cousin Betsy was down for a week with her family and was kind enough to invite us all over for a feast. Good times...................
TAR and I took a two day vacation to Ocracoke. The weather was tolerable. Spent some time on the beach, wining and dining on some great food, and sightseeing. Good to get away for a couple of days.

Saw this at a beach parking lot. A tricycle Harley with a rack for a Rascal. If that don't beat all.

In honor of Jackson's birthday, here is a shout out to Jay Froggy

One of the few landmarks I remember on Hatteras Island, and danged if it isn't closed up and for sale. I remember eating there as a kid; saw Coach Clarance Stassavich in there one time. My one brush with a famous person?

Wonder what this is all about? Go ahead and insert your caption here
Robert Stallings and Nephew Kevin; this one is for you. Who better to prepare your fast food taco than a bunch of gringos?
After a couple of days we relaxed on the Cedar Island ferry back home. Nice vacation and a pretty view.

This is birthday weekend, so alert the Adolph Coors Brewing Company of Golden, CO to put on a second shift. We're going offshore one day and up into some black water the next. Not sure where yet, but I'm betting we'll have a little fun.
Next week will be busy; moving Jackson home, catching some PGA action in Charlotte on Thursday, marrying off Niece Elizabeth Saturday and flying to California for a week next Sunday. Oh, and with a little luck I think the bike will be on the road today!

Whew, tired just thinking about it. Maybe some more time off afterwards? Oh, and due to your reading this I'm getting over 125 hits a week. Thank you; now, how can I make some money doing this?
