kure beach nc: This year I'm giving my family and myself the gift of memories
- 11/28/11 02:47 AM
This year I'm giving my family and myself the gift of memories I don't know about you, but I've got more "stuff" than Carter has liver pills. And as much as I like my "stuff" I feel no need to add to it. For one thing, there's no room. For another, I don't need it. Maybe it's just me, but it seems like Christmas has become more work and less fun. I have no desire to spend 30 minutes looking for a parking space only to fight the crowds, spend more money than I need to, pull my back out carrying … (25 comments)

Thankful Thursday in Kure Beach NC After a week (that isn't even over!) that's felt like 3, and left me feeling as twisted as these Live Oaks in Kure Beach NC, I'm Thankful that, like these trees, I'm still standing.

- 03/22/11 11:33 AM
The View from Fort Fisher in Kure Beach NC I was Blessed today to have an errand in Kure Beach NC. As I often do, when I'm up that way, I went on up to the Fort Fisher Historic Site.

In fact Fort Fisher is a fascinating place with many tales to tell. There's even a ghost! If you have the opportunity you should definitely visit.

kure beach nc: Is General William Whiting still at Fort Fisher in Kure Beach, NC?
- 10/03/10 09:50 AM
Shhhh. Listen. Do you hear that? Guns firing, clashing of swords, running feet, blasting of cannons, screams of agony, moans of the dying? Can you see that figure in the pine grove? He's wearing a uniform of sorts, it looks to be gray. Confederate gray. What is he looking at? You? Can he see and hear you? Or is he simply maintaining his post? Wilmington was the last of the Confederate south's trade ports to remain open during the last days of the Civil War and the men of Fort Fisher made that possible. Led by General William Whiting Fort Fisher was … (21 comments)
