32 feet in a beautiful day

Yesterday, I attended the Step Up for Soldiers Barbeque Cook-Off in Carolina Beach. It was an amazingly beautiful January day (the high temperatures were in the mid 60’s and the sky was a beautiful Carolina Blue – and if you know me you know that’s not a reference to any tar on heels). It was a great day of tasting wonderful BBQ, peddlin a little soap (and other Glynne’s Soaps goods) and listening to live music all day. Not long after our arrival, I noticed the wide variety of footwear. There was everything from bare feet to very furry winter boots. Naturally, I was toten’ a camera and thus began my journey to document the footwear. 32 feet, or photos, that’s where I ended. Some The rest of the story

Step Back into History

There are very few years when I miss going to the annual remembrance of the Second Battle of Fort Fisher, the largest land-sea battle of the War Between the States.

We were at Fort Fisher and I became enamored with this fence.

Homecoming

It has been many years since I visited my alma mater, Milligan College. It is doubtful I would have attended this year had it not been for social media. One friend in particular, Treva, started weeks ago talking about coming back to Milligan for Homecoming weekend. Since we needed some time away, we decided to make the drive to the mountains. So, we were Tennessee bound! As is typical I took not one photo that included a person. Fortunately, my friend Jeannette was kind enough to share her photos (via a disk no less). There’s one of us visiting a favored hang out. The town we stayed in Elizabethton TN has a lot of old southern charm. I’ll have more photos that show a The rest of the story
