I do thank GOD for the sunsets that we have here at our home.  WE are located on Beaver Dam Creek in Southport North Carolina.  Beaver Dam is a tidal creek and we enjoy the tides with brackish water.  Many different kinds of fish are in the creek and it is most delightful to catch puppy drum or flounder off the end of the dock, come in and fix a seafood dinner. WE need to all, smell the roses, watch the sunsets and enjoy one another. Ginger of Southport

  Well, I feel like I have joined the 21st Century with a UTUBE of me talking about Southport....the place I call home. http://wilmingtonrealestatehome.com/1003/southport-north-carolina/ Not sure that this is going to work but thought I would see.  This is a good way for your clients to know you and see you and hear how you sound.  I find that I sound very southern...but guess that is the way it has be be because I was born in Tar Heel, North Carolina. Think about it....it was fun. Ginger of Southport

    This is too good not to share.  At this time of year, many of us are running around trying to get the things done that we feel need to be done. Guess what.  Many of those things that we try to get done, really are not that important.  We need to reflect on our lives and the lives of those around us.  Life is short and precious.  We need to be greatful for the abundance of grace that has been given to us.

October is already half gone and I don't want the rest of it to pass without offering some suggestions on how to get out and enjoy this final run-up to Halloween. It's a busy time of year when it seems like every group, establishment, and organization has something planned to ring in the Fall season.   The cooler temps, bright blue skies, and an ebbing pace are a much-anticipated and welcome change, bringing with them a much-needed attitude adjustment! My energy level is up, my running regime bolstered, my to-do list is getting shorter.....and the "soup is on!"   Walking outside this morning and I am thinking oysters...It is about time for the annual clean-up of "Camp Burton", our little hideout in the back yard, camouflaged by tall wax myrtle on one side, a wall of cat briar on the ba...

"When the dodlimbed tourists leave, the bluefish cannot be very far behind.... They like people who admire nor'easters and don't mind a little rain and a squall or two." says the Old Man. ©Robert Ruark's Old Man and the Boy This is still on of my favorite books. Set back during the Depression and days of Prohibition, Ruark speaks right to the Southern heart of life spent outdoors; fishin', clammin', oysterin', duck huntin', all embellished with a crusty cast of characters, and warmed with southern coastal cooking traditions and forbidden corn "licker. The Old Man's home, now a Bed and Breakfast, is just down the block from my home of nearly 24 years now. And it was over 25 years ago, when we were still caretakers over on Bald Head Island, that we had our first run-in with September blu...

  Who is "We"?     It was said in Turkey : "We do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish  nation or a Muslim nation. We  consider ourselves a nation of citizens who are bound by ideals and a set of values."

Information worth sharing...Prevent Swine Flu - Good Advice        Dr. Vinay Goyal is an MBBS,DRM,DNB (Intensivist and Thyroid specialist) having clinical experience of over 20 years. He has worked in institutions like Hinduja Hospital , Bombay Hospital , Saifee Hospital , Tata Memorial etc.. Presently, he is heading our Nuclear Medicine Department and Thyroid clinic at Riddhivinayak Cardiac and Critical Centre, Malad (W).         The following message is given by him, I feel makes a lot of sense and is important for all to know.          The only portals of entry are the nostrils and mouth/throat. In a global epidemic of this nature, it's almost impossible to avoid coming into contact with H1N1 in spite of all precautions. Contact with H1N1 is not so much of a problem as proliferation ...

   IMPORTANT READ..... Something that we can do to help ourselves.  Nice to know.  Bayer is making crystal aspirin to dissolve under the tongue. They work much faster than the tablets. Why keep aspirin by your bedside?  About Heart AttacksThere are other symptoms of an heart attack besides the pain on the left arm. One must also be aware of an intense pain on the chin, as well as nausea and lots of sweating, however these symptoms may also occur less frequently.Note: There may be NO pain in the chest during a heart attack.The majority of people (about 60%) who  had a heart attack during their sleep, did not wake up.  However, if it occurs, the chest pain may wake you up from your deep sleep.If that happens, immediately dissolve two aspirins in your mouth and swallow them with a bit of ...
