Meet Taffy.

Kim and I started a new Christmas tradition this year. Since our normal Christmases with Mama are now just wonderful memories, it was time to do something different.

On Thursday, December 17, 2020, we said our final earthly good-byes to Mama in a beautiful celebration of her going Home.

Like it did for everyone else, the pandemic craziness changed up our Thanksgiving plans.

Thanksgiving 2019.

This photo of Mama gifting a quilt to Kamaron and Anique was taken ten years ago, one of the few happy moments from Thanksgiving Day 2010.

My favorite feature of our Wayne County property is the creek that runs through it.

We saw this sign outside an Outer Banks restaurant...so true.  In fact, I might change "ALL YEAR" to "FOREVER"!

Because I took SO many photos and it's just so much fun going through them and reliving the happy moments that make me smile, today I'm sharing a few many more from our July beach vacation.

All man-made play areas pale in comparison to those that are God-made...and the ocean is BEST waterpark ever created!
