Still having a HI Time



















We are on Hatteras Island until this Tuesday then we will move south to Ocracoke for a couple days. Next weekend we are going to visit Brian and Lori Sharp before heading to Lake Norman for Thanksgiving with my brother Rick and his wife Denise. We made our first reservation for Florida at Cape Canaveral to see the shuttle launch in early December. The weather here has been much cooler with highs in the 50's but it does not get much lower than that at night. It's been great being here for a month experiencing the off season. We have taken long walks, fished, and just chilled out. It has been interesting seeing how the weather has changed over the month and watching the ocean. We started out with beach weather then we had the "hard blow" and now we have cooler temps. Now when I go fishing I wear a coat. We drove north to Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge to see the birds and also saw how much sand was blown across the road in Rodanthe during the storm. The first house on the left in the picture had waves breaking under it and the road was also closed for a day. We did have visitors this week when Georgie and Tom came down for three days. Having this personal mail delivery is really pretty nice. We took long walks, went out to dinner, played cards and had a great time just visiting. It was very comfortable with four of us in the motor home. The pictures are just a few random shots of the island.
