The new beach

For almost all of my adult life I have been visiting Morehead City/Atlantic Beach NC area. Recently there have been some very disturbing things going on at Atlantic Beach. The "Circle" was sold by the town to a private citizen and he has posted a sign on the corner, Grove the New Beach. What the heck was wrong with the "old" beach? Within the last couple of years two piers have been torn down to make way for condos, and if that was not bad enough, some person also tore down Jungle Land for the sake of even more condos. Pray tell, why does anyone want to go to Atlantic Beach anymore, there certainly is not anything for the family to do there. Oh, I beg your pardon, I think I know the answer, poor folks are not welcome there!! Somewhere along the way folks have forgotten that it was the average, everyday, working person that built the entire island, not just the Atlantic Beach section, up to what it was a couple of years ago. Now it seems that all they want are the folks that afford the condos, boats, shopping, and resturants. Places for the campers/mobile homes are disappearing as if Houdini himself were there. I wonder how many children will not learn to fish beacuse soon there may be no fishing piers left on the island.

The new congress?

I really am not too sure about this nations new congress. It seems to me that all they are really interested in is cutting funds for the war. Has anyone bothered to tell them that our men and women get the news over there?? If I was over there I think that I would become very disenchanted with this new congress. Come on folks, let them finish the job and come home, not give up and come home!

A little about me

I like to fish, when the fish are biting that is! I love country music, mostly the older songs from folks like Patsy Cline, Jim Reeves, Loretta Lynn, etc. I also like the old time rock n roll of artists like Chuck Berry. No ones does love songs better than Percy Sledge! Married to the same man for 44 years and we have one son.

Military

When you see a military person, what do you do? Have you ever taken just a few minutes of your time to thank a vet for the freedom that you have today because of what they have sacrificed? I do, and I believe that it makes a difference in their life to hear that they are appreciated. It makes no difference if they served in draft times or if they served in volunteer times, they all like to know that we here at home appreciate all that they sacrifice for us. Spend a few minutes with them, after all it is because of them that you can.
