Kinston, a southern country town

On a recent stay in Kinston, North Carolina I got to learn a little history.

Toured a replica of the Confederate Ironclad Ram C.S.S. Neuse - the remains of the real thing are displayed up the road. http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WMG97

Sampled the local famous pulled pork Bar B Que

and met the friendly crew

Had good timing to be there for the Bar B Que festival and was able to check out a few displays.

Observed a few locals

and got a little hairstyle lesson

and best of all, picked up a local saying: "Y'all have a blessed day"

Our local water

Where we play....the bay, the rivers and the gulf beaches

Waiting for oil!!

Pensacola Beach with a Blue Angels homecoming show. A little air show to perk up your spirits.

3 days in Atlanta

A quick Geocaching lesson from an expert geocasher with approx 86 finds - computer and GPS required... @ http://www.geocaching.com/

A hike up Kennesaw Mountain, the reward at the top is a fabulous view and some civil war embankments, trenches and cannons used in the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain.

The bench we needed to rest on!

A lot of fun trying on shoes at the wholesale market

A new hair colour at the Paul Mitchell Salon School....we know a student there almost ready to graduate. She coloured my hair.



Lovely Marietta Square showing off some colour too.

A real find - not .....Pavlova magic in an egg at the Australian Bakery

and the real thing, the mini pavolva. I picked up my supply of meat pies while there.

Finally my Eiffel Tower found at ZGallery one of my must go to stores....some very tacky glasses!!

12 minus 2

No mellow yellow yolks for breakfast today......no....they were not mellow.
They were a deep bright orange....the real thing.





A gift of 12 farm fresh eggs (thanks Leslie)...what a treat.
Too special to use for a cake or a salad....reserved for a soft boil and toast for dunking.
