Not-Quite-Country Girl

"Sandhurst"...aka "Gramaw's Beach House"...our home-away-from-home for a week in July every year.

One gorgeous morning while we were on the North Carolina coast, a few of the Gray men went fishing and I tagged along.  With camera in hand, of course!

I finally finished going through my hundreds of photos from our family beach vacation a couple of weeks ago....

 "O Lord, it is You who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that is in them..."   Acts 4: 24

The third best thing about our family beach vacation...HUSHPUPPIES at our favorite seaside restaurant...

I love the beach, any day, any time of year.

The skies were threatening, but it wasn't raining yet so I dragged my reluctant man to the Morehead City waterfront to watch the annual Christmas flotilla.

A beautiful day dawned as Kim and I anticipated attending the 30th Annual Core Sound Decoy Festival in Harkers Island, NC.

Winging our way to Harkers Island, North Carolina for the 30th edition of the Core Sound Decoy Festival this weekend.

Winding down our fabulous three-week trip to Peru, we knew beforehand that after the fun-but-hectic itinerary we'd need a couple of days to relax and unwind before we came home.
