Remember the Golden Rule?
Well, the folks on the Crystal Coast sure do!
As many of you know, we are recovering from a Hurricane here on the Crystal Coast of North Carolina. Many REALTORS® have no office to work in right now, due to flooding and other damage. Our office was flooded just enough to ruin the carpet and create a really bad smell.

Speechless Squirrel on a Not So Speechless Sunday...
We noticed a few weeks ago that something was tearing apart our Outdoor furniture. We found rips & holes in the cushions, but weren't sure if it was wear & tear from the weather or maybe a bird, or maybe something else. A few minutes ago, as I was unlocking the back door to let the dog out, I finally busted the guilty party as he ripped the stuffing out of the cushions at warp speed.
Darn Squirrel!

Anne Harrelson Ward of Emerald Isle, North Carolina
Anne Ward was born and raised in Southport, North Carolina. She now lives in Emerald Isle with her husband, Wade. We are so glad she moved to the Crystal Coast, because her artwork is absolutely amazing.
Before her children were grown and out on their own, Anne painted in the "on & off mode". During that time, Anne was also a business partner and a part-time teacher. When time allowed, Anne returned to the ever-present desire to paint. A few years ago, Anne enrolled in a pastel workshop … (3 comments)
