My husband is a collegiate football coach. His job requires motivating and inspiring 18-20 year old to be their best and to truly believe in teamwork. His approach has always been to be a role model. This year the University of North Carolina has a new head coach, Coach Butch Davis, and with his new leadership the team has learned to adjust and refocus. I am excited about the upcoming season and know the foundation being built right now is a sturdy and reliable one.

The same excitement that stirred within me as a child still warms my heart oh so many years later.

active rain: Emerald Isle North Carolina - Family Oriented Communities - 02/07/07 02:18 PM
I love Emerald Isle. This island is what made me eventually live here full time. We purchase a beach cottage in Ocean Oaks many moons ago and spent many weekends unwinding in the sand and recharging for a busy work week. The kids were small at the time and we felt Emerald Isle provided activity sites as well as very clean beaches and friendly neighbors.
Fast forward 12 yrs and we move to the mainland full time so I could " sell the place I love! " We still have the cottage and still enjoying long days on the beach with our toes in the sand!

Today I spent a few hours sightseeing before the Nor'Easter blew in.
Ole Brutus and I jumped in the car at noon, stopping in Beaufort to drop off some paperwork. Our destination
was Oriental NC, located in Pamlico County-. We drove 18 miles from Beaufort up Hwy 101 to the Cherry
Branch NC Ferry exchange. Although we had Carolina Blue Skies, the wind made the seas a bit choppy and
Brutus was not interested in watching for birds.
The ferry ride is just a few minutes and upon arriving to the 'other side' we stopped for a drink at the ole diner
there just before Minnesott … (5 comments)
