Swansboro, North Carolina

Hello to all from Pat & Roger now located in our new home in Swansboro, NC. I took this photo one early morning to show how it feels here looking at the sunrise. It is something we can do everyday.

We are settling in now that the furniture has arrived. We were lucky to have a few weeks so we could accomplish some remodeling to suit our needs. We have a new cherry wood floor in every room except 2 of the bedrooms. The master bedroom has new carpet and the 2nd bedroom has the original carpet. New cherry wood cabinets were installed in the kitchen along with new granite counter tops. A new ceramic back splash has been installed by my brother-in-law, Gary and a kind neighbor. New SS appliances were installed by yours truly as well as 4 rooms receiving a new paint job from Pat, Gary, Gary's friend Jane and myself. In between our slack time the same neighbor, Bruce, Gary and I installed a patio deck and fencing for Oliver. As you all can tell we did accomplish a lot in a short time for our comfort and anyone who would like to visit. We are extremely close to the inter-coastal waterway and the ocean. Our little town has a great historic downtown district and approximately 11 restaurants for your enjoyment. Did I mention they all serve fresh daily caught fish. The fishing fleet has many local shops selling the "catch of the day" so one may prepare it at home for private consumption.

I have uploaded a short video of Oliver's first visit to the Ocean. I hope you all enjoy it. We have enjoyed the ocean and the area and have become accustom to what the area has to offer. I have added a tour of the house so Miss Pat can show off her new home a little. Please post your comments and email if you would like to receive more videos.

Signing off for now and until next time..Etcetera, etcetera.....
