TORCH KEYS COME TO THE OBX

Eddie and I are getting ready and anxiously waiting for October 4th to arrive. That is the day that the "Torch Keys Group" arrive to the OBX and our "Fat Cat" 10 bedroom house for a reunion!!!! We haven't seen some of our friends since May and June and are so happy they are coming to visit us!!!! Watch for pics of the reunion soon!!!!

NASCAR HERE WE COME

Kansas City Nascar happens the last weekend of September and Eddie and Debbie do not miss it. So off we went to Eddie's old stompping grounds to see the Nascar races. The weather was just beautiful - 80's and sunny - and the friendship with the Hamilton's is one we cherish! Lance and Terri open their lovely home to us every year and we have a grand time.

This year we did something a little different and went to the "New Theater" to see the play "The Last Romance". It is a dinner theater - the food was good, especially the desserts, the seats are fabulous - right up against the center front stage - and the play was one of the best we all had ever seen.

It is nice to explore all KC has to offer. A great city and nice people!!!

Back home in the NC

Well, we thought we would never get here, but here we are, back in the good of OBX! Our remodeled Saltbox house turned out really nice and Debbie is once again doing the "nesting" thing. Eddie tries to stay our of her way, but is just great with helping her when needed. We have more kitchen cabinet space that we ever imagined we would have and it is just wonderful.

We are in the process of actually cleaning out all the closets, storage units and donating items that we haven't used or don't plan to use in the near future. This is a major feat for both Eddie and Debbie since they are both proclaimed professional "packrats"! Now, Eddie has been very agreeable with Debbie up to this point, but, the garage is next! You know, the "it's Eddie's garage and Debbie stay out" garage. The plan is to clean out and paint!! We will see.
