We spent the week between Christmas and New Year’s at the Outer Banks in North Carolina. For those of you who follow my blog you know we travel to the Outer Banks one to two times each year. It really is our favorite place to relax. And we can take our sweet dogs with us which makes it an even better vacation.
Here is a panoramic shot from our balcony.
We did not have much sunshine on this trip but we were able to walk on the beach comfortably as the weather was in the 70’s most of the week. One day we were walking up the beach for about 45 minutes, which meant we had to go back 45 minutes. We started walking back and all of a sudden I turned around and this is what I saw in the sky behind us. Yikes!!
The temperature dropped 20 degrees in a matter of seconds as we saw one ugly storm was coming up the beach. And it was moving quickly.
What does that mean? It means…walk really fast or you are going to get wet.
We made it without getting too wet! Yippee!!

On the ride down we listened to Michael Connelly’s new book “The Crossing”.
I am a Michael Connelly fan and I love his character Harry Bosch. This book also includes the Lincoln Lawyer character. Harry is now a retired detective. His brother, Mickey Haller, the Lincoln Lawyer has asked Harry to help him on a case. Harry is not happy about crossing to the other side as he has worked on the police force for a long time. He resists going to the dark side but agrees to do so because he believes his brother is representing an innocent man. Bosch wants to find the real killer. The book kept my interest. I have one complaint….Dick Hill has been the reader of the Harry Bocsh series and I have grown to like his voice, inflection and delivery. This new book featured a new reader and I did not believe he was as good as Dick Hill. Sorry new reader. But the book was still great.
Have a wonderful New Year. I hope it is filled with peace, prosperity and lots of love.
