try, try again...

And here is my pride and joy! Dad got my license a couple days ago - 92SUN - pretty good for not being a vanity plate! I've ridden it to school all but 3 days and it just makes me smile. The last tune up on the Honda was a good one (too late for Ian:-() We haven't gone for a ride together, but I'm sure we will. I have scooter school the last Sat of the Sept.

Here's to the next 35! Enlarge to see the details of our new rings from Silver Bonsai in Manteo. (Please ignore the old age spots - it's just dirt)


We actually had dinner and a fire 2 nights in a row - Sat out till dark and just enjoyed our yard! No, that is not a "port-a-potty"...just poor placement of the ash container!








We weren't sure if the Autumn Clematis would bloom this year, but it has put on a great show.











ok - is this where i write about the pictures? this is the center of the front walk. We bought the raised piece in OBX and your Dad designed around it. We have 2 more, but haven't decided for sure where they will go. This is the view of the side walk from the porch roof. I'm not sure the picture does it justice. It really looks awesome and more importantly, it is great to actually walk on.













Well, we are going to try this again. I lost the whole thing last night and went to bed aggravated.








We are having awesome weather - unless you are a plant - and the season is slipping gently into fall and we are starting to wrap up our summer projects. It has been a busy one - busier than we anticipated for sure. Here are some highlights...I hope:-)

  3. The rings are really cool. A little piece of the ocean in every day. Plenty of symbolism to be had there and metaphors to be expounded upon; weathering all storms, peaceful like the ocean breeze, sailing together like pelicans on a bright warm day, zealous and murderous like Ahab and Moby, etc...
