A Proud Aunt!

I blogged about my niece Jenny Fields, a lieutenant in the US Coast Guard who flies helicopters, shown below with my grandson George.

Jenny took part in the rescue of the crew of the HMS Bounty off the coast of NC and if you'd like to see the ABC News video, click HERE!


Yup, I'm a proud aunt.... and one who is very glad she is safe!

Weather Watching

Those of us who live in The Hurricane Magnet of the World (aka:  North Carolina) are accustomed to paying close attention to hurricanes.   I'm safe here in south central NC but the Outer Banks of NC are taking a hit.... and it's only the outer bands that we're getting...

My son and his family live in Wilmington NC...

Prayers for all in Sandy's path!

Hurricane Party!

Blog friend Mary contacted me about whether I was safe from Hurricane Sandy this morning and so...  in case of any concerns...  this weather map should be helpful.

I'm in the green "buy a boat" area.

On a more serious note, I hope that all in the path of Sandy will be safe and damage minimal.
