Okay, have you ever been to the Outer Banks of NC? If not, you are missing out.
Not only does NC have the most beautiful coastline, but being one of the original 13 colonies, NC is rich in history. You could spend a lifetime visiting all the historical landmarks in our state, and still not see them all.

Are you aware that NC has the tallest lighthouse in America? Cape Hatteras at 208 feet. NC also has the oldest lighthouse in America....Ocracoke Lighthouse build in 1798.

If you go to http://www.outerbanks.org/, click the where to play drop down box, and then click lighthouses, you can read about all of NC lighthouses and see a picture.

5 years ago, I went on a vacation to the Outer Banks and did all the touristy stuff, including climbing the Hatteras lighthouse. Let me say two things: TALL and WINDY.

Make it a point to visit our famous coastline if you have not. It is well worth the time.

Think about that......

MIA

Sorry, I have been MIA for a while. Things got very busy here for me. It's no excuse, I know. I apologize. AND since things don't look like they are slowing down at all...I'm just going to do my best to keep up.

Yesterday on my Facebook page status, I wrote: So this is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause.

My friends thought I was being deep and philosophical. Actually, it was a quote from a movie, but my how relevant that is today!!! I tell my children that as the government slowly, one by one, takes away our freedom, we let them. One day, we will wake up and have none. We will only have ourselves to blame. Forcing us to recycle may seem stupid to worry about, and comes across as helpful. But the emphasis is on FORCE. Recycling is good, but not if I am made to do it.

We need to wake up and not let our leaders do things that our Constitution does not allow them to do. We need to know our rights, and what they can and cannot do. The bible says "My people perish for lack of knowledge."

How much constitution knowledge do you have? Maybe you should Google it and have a good read. You will be amazed at what you will learn.
Now, go think about that.
