Beach House Memories

4-wheel drive 
Joe, Dad, Jesse and I came down for Memorial Day weekend.  It was a much needed break and very relaxing.

Today I was looking at the only photo album in the cottage with pictures from 1986 - 1992.   There are also some great photos of the wild horses when they were roaming the Corolla beaches.  Fortunately they are safely contained in the 4-wheel drive area, but it was pretty wonderful to see them grazing in the yard and roaming the beach with us.

I hope you enjoy this photo stroll down memory lane.  So many wonderful memories of beach time with my Heather.

Heather's first trip to appropriately named Duck NC.  There were ducks at the Wee Winks Store.  Doesn't everyone travel in a robe?

















Heather (age 4) standing on the stairs of "Ducky Irene".



Heather - 5 years old.  Who says you need an umbrella to get some shade.  Mom's beach bag works fine.


Heather obliged my love of photography and she is super happy I take pictures of birds now.

Horses in the front yard.  This small herd lived here for a few years.




Check out my fine parenting skills - Heather is playing next to the horse and I am watching from a safe distance.  The horses were on the beach all the time with us.






Frisky Stallions.


This is pendant that I designed and gave to Heather.  It has the nautical coordinates for the beach house.  The diamonds were from earrings and necklaces that I received from my Mom and Grandmother.  The back is engraved with Irene.  Heather and I both have my grandmother's name as our middle name.  I also named the beach house after her - Ducky Irene.



Saving the best for last, there is a journal at the beach house for family and friends to write in.  Well, I was looking for my Mom's last journal entry and found this gem.
