With my doctors blessings, I was able to take a week of R&R in the Outer Banks. I tried to convince them to write a prescription for a week at the beach so I that could submit it to my insurance, but……no go. As my sister taught me when I was young….it never hurts to ask.
Here are a couple of my favorite photos from the week. There were a lot so I’ll share more with you next week.
The first two are views from the house we rented. It was right on the beach. Ahhhhhh…..
There was a pool at this house. It was a little too chilly for me to swim. However, as we were getting ready for our daily walk, I looked out from the upper level of the house. I saw a toad in the pool and he was desperately trying to find a place to get out.
Not to worry Mr. Toadie, I will save you. Gladly. Here he is safely on the concrete around the pool. He was exhausted. After he thanked me, he jumped under the fence to freedom. You are welcome Mr. Toadie.
This part of the Outer Banks is known for it’s wild horses. This year, we saw more horses than normal.
What was not normal….. after I saved Mr. Toadie, was a noise I heard behind me. I turn to find a horse on the porch trying to enter our rented house. Within a short time, he wandered back into the grasses for grazing. So, maybe the grass is not always greener on the other side…..just saying…..

BOOK REVIEW
Well, of course I would read a book that mentions thread. However, the thread in the book was not really about sewing. This book takes you through 3 generations of the Whitshank family. Abby loves to tell her children about the day she feel in love with their father, Red. Red’s father built the house where Red and Abby now live. The story takes you back through the time the house was built and brings you to the present. As Abby and Red are aging, their children have to deal with how to best care for their parents. Good read.
Until next week……
