I just finished one of the finest meals I have ever partaken.

My dear wife, Carrie, made flounder, fried shrimp, onion rings, and hush puppies.  We bought the flounder and the shrimp from nearby Thomas’ Seafood Market.  We are looking at the Atlantic Ocean right now.  The fish is as fresh as it is going to be.

I am a fortunate man.  My dear Carrie likes to cook on occasion.  I am glad tonight was one of those special occasions.  These vittles were unreal.

Kids, these were the leftovers.  Am I gonna have a nice sandwich tomorrow, or what?

This morning Carrie and I were ready to head to the NC Aquarium at Fort Fisher.  you could look it up.  We had a good time and we saw some strange sea critters and met some very nice people.

The wind was blowing as we took this picture near the Swing Bridge in Surf City, NC.

This is a good shot of the bridge.  It raises up and swings sideways to let large boats pass through the canal below it.  There is talk of doing away with it and making something more modern.  I hope it remains talk.

This evening I don’t know if I have ever seen such lovely shades of blue before.

The moon trying to make progress over the water.  That is him, that little speck on the right.

So yes, I am thankful for such a great day to be able to spend with my sweet Carrie.

Like I am not sure why Nolan Ryan was able to throw as baseball over 100 mph, I am not sure why I have been so blessed when it comes to so many things.  What do I mean?  Well, tomorrow night The Moody Blues are playing a concert just a few miles down the road from where I took these pictures today.  Carrie and I will be there.  We just happened to be on Spring Break when the Moodies scheduled a show here.  I don’t think it is a coincidence.  I will call myself thankful.  And along the way, I hope to…

Speak the Rights.
