Gobble, gobble

James and I are currently nestled at the beach! My family has been spending Thanksgiving at the Outer Banks for the past 25 plus years. It is truly my home away from home. As the usual house my parent's rent for the holiday is off the rental market this year, they "upgraded" to a house right on the beach! The first time we've spent Thanksgiving right on the beach.

This is the view from the back deck.
It was misty and cloudy Tuesday and Wednesday, and then we awoke this Thankgiving morning to partly cloudy, blue sky, and sun!!! James and I took a long walk on the beach this morning and talked of grand plans of spending our retirement in a place like this.
The Outer Banks are still recovering from the Nor'easter that hit at Veteran's Day. Hurricane Ida intensified the effects, which are usually more damaging than a hurricane, and the debris along the beach is incredible. We are going up to Beach Road tomorrow where we will be looking for the dune that apparently was washed away.


Anyone need a need an old fridge?
Well, a card game is calling my name. Or another walk. Or reading. Or anything!
Have a happy, happy Thanksgiving!!!

  1. No better place than Southern Shores and the Outer Banks for Thanksgiving (or any other holiday for that matter)! I live in Chicahauk and write a local blog with odds and ends, a restaurant recommendation, locals favorite shopping spots, etc. Check it out at www.beachroadtomanteo.com. Enjoy your weekend.

  2. The Outer Banks is a gret aplace to spend the holidays. We are looking forward to our visit between Christmas and New Years. Will be curious to see the effects of Ida...
