Beautiful Sunset

 

This is tonight's sunset in Coastal North Carolina.

 

Beautiful.

You Know Your In Coastal North Carolina When...

You know your in coastal North Carolina when...

 

 

you wake up to a Carolina blue sky, just two days after a snow day.

 

 

 

Today, after a walk on the beach we went for lunch at Daddy Mac's Beach Grill, in Surf City.

 

 

 

After ordering, we stepped out onto the porch to look at the Atlantic. You can see what's left of the snowfall.

 

 

 

 

 

Cory, has been ordering jambalaya a lot lately. He said it tasted good. I ordered the bistro shrimp and it also tasted so good.

 

 

We watched the sun go down, and I couldn't resist going back on the porch for more photos of the pier and the surfers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

What a lovely day.

Coastal North Carolina Thanksgiving Tablescape

Like many families, we've been getting ready for Thanksgiving tomorrow. Only this year is a little different, as we'll be celebrating on the North Carolina coast. Here's how I set our table this year, with lighthouses, birds and starfish while keeping some harvest accents with the basket of fresh apples and gold napkins.

 



I'll be in the kitchen if you need me.

 

Have a blessed and Happy Thanksgiving.

I'm linking up with Share Your Cup Thursday #83

Southern Coastal Homes On Topsail Beach, North Carolina

 

I found this poem the other day, and thought it was so true. Your life is what you make of it, day by day. It also reminded me of the beautiful beach.

 

We have been staying in Topsail Beach for a few weeks now. It's an island off the southern coast of North Carolina. The homes here are an array of hues, some blend in with the landscape, while others have can be seen from a distance. Many homes on the island are raised as the Atlantic coastline is on one side, and the wetlands on the other side.

 

Many of the homes I photographed, were on wetlands side, enjoy the tour:

 

 

The birds were on the electrical lines, and flying really low. My Nana used to say that was a sign that it was going to rain, and it did.

 

Hope you enjoyed looking at some homes on Topsail Beach.
