Knee is slowly getting better, I can start doing a little yard work, but I'm surprised how good it's looking after two months of not doing a single thing.
The road is a different story, it's a mess after the storms, they now won't deliver mail so I just purchased a post office box and there are meetings with the neighbors on how we are going to rectify this mess.
All this down time has given me the time to clean out books and magazines and sell them on Ebay. One week I sold $600 worth of magazines from the '80s and '90s, who would have thought!! I also got to research the Outer Banks and learned quite a lot. I found the perfect place to stay, close to the beach but not on it, close to the historic village and lighthouse, close to the wildlife preserve and the 4x4 beach where the horses reside. One day Bob and I are going to rent a place on the 4x4 beach and stay the entire week and not leave, it's remote and the horses come right up to the homes. For now, we'll do it the more civilized way since my brother and sister-in-law will be joining us! I'm so excited!!! (ps Thank you Linda for this beautiful photo you took when you were there!)
The weather has been unusually cool and low humidity, perfect time for dinner outside by the lake. I really wanted to sit by the water, but it was quite a few stairs to get down. I injured my knee a few weeks ago chasing the bears, so didn't take the chance, it's not quite healed yet.
The view from above was nothing to complain about and it was right next to the bar, a plus!
Before dinner cocktail, light and refreshing with grapefruit and basil. These are the same owners of the Old Schoolhouse Inn on Amelia Island I went to in Florida. Same great cocktails!
Dinner, one plate enough for two.
Key Lime Pie Martini for dessert. An expensive dinner, but well worth it! Will be back again!
