Our World Tuesday: Swansboro

SandyCarlson June 04, 2012
A few weeks ago when mom and dad were down, we went over to Swansboro for lunch at the Icehouse. The village is at the mouth of the Oak River, and there are fishing and shrimping and pleasure boats up and down the river.



From May 12, 2012
Outside the restaurant we came across a pirate--there are plenty of those around here--who was swashbuckling the sunny day away.

Mom and I checked out the shops after lunch, and we came across this gentleman, who was jaywalking with his lady and not caring in the least. Nobody else minded, either.

Back at the ranch, I had my parents'd dog (the night watchman) out for a walk along the dunes. Buddy declined the photo op, so I caught a picture of the flowers in the sand.

    You do live in a wonderful world! Love the pirate! thanks for your comment on my poem, "I Hate Dust." I was hoping you would read it and comment. Mom is doing fine by the way. Tomorrow is her last radiation treatment!

    Swansboro reminds me of Calabash, which is one of our favorite places to visit when we're at the beach.
