1. I've been getting ready for Easter. I no longer have room to store a lot of decorations so I make do with what I have. Here's what I did for my front door.
and my dining room table
2. I was so sorry to hear that Nancy Reagan died. She was one classy lady and she did what she had to do, regardless, for her Ronnie. You just don't see devotion like that anytime, anywhere.
3. We made another little trip down to Edenton on Thursday. It was 80 degrees but the wind was blowing. I'd hoped to take the harbor tour but it's too early in the season. The trolley tour was up and running and we were the only ones on the trolley. You might say it was a 'private tour'. What history in that place. I can't wait to share some of it with you. For now here is one picture...
This is the Roanoke River Lighthouse. It was built in 1886 and served as a guide for ships navigating the Albemarle sound into the Roanoke River. In 1941, with the lighthouse no longer in use, it was moved by barge to a private location but fell into neglect. However, these people of this town know the value of maintaining history so they moved it to it's present location in the harbor of Edenton where it is visited by tourists.
4. I got a picture of the osprey. They returned last week and are now quite at home on their nest high atop the cell tower.

5. Another advantage of living in a 55+ community apartment building. The tax people came this week, picked up our tax stuff and will bring everything back to our apartments today. You can't beat that. Now, if they would just pay what we owe we would be in business!!

ReplyDeletei LOVE what you made for the front door, it's really perfect for easter and spring!!!!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore your Easter decorations! And your wonderful osprey return! Glad you went to Edenton, and it was so cool to get the trolley tour by yourselves. That lighthouse is wonderful! Wouldn't that make a great painting! You should do a pastel. Lovely post, Mom! I enjoyed your email...will answer soon!
ReplyDeleteHow great to get your taxes sorted like that! I like your new front door arrangement, very pretty and seasonal to welcome any guests - especially the tax preparers! Glad you enjoyed your day out. Thank you for joining Five On Friday, I hope that you have a good weekend! xx
ReplyDeleteHa ha that would be a great service! What a pretty lighthouse, so glad it has been rescued. Your Easter decorations look great. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a unique lighthouse, I don't think I've ever seen one quite like it.
ReplyDeleteLovely decorating. Wow, what a great lighthouse.
ReplyDeleteNice! Love the lighthouse!
ReplyDeletePretty decoration you've made. And what an especially lighthouse, well restored now.
ReplyDeleteNesting atop a cell tower - how scary is that?!
Have a nice weekend
Pretty Easter decorations and love seeing the ospreys and lighthouse. Taxes.....that reminds me!
ReplyDeleteDelightful assortment of photos! I have to say the lighthouse is gorgeous and the history to come is intriguing.
ReplyDeleteHello Latane. I'm here from Amy's Five on Friday link-up. The basket of flowers on your door is a wonderful way to welcome visitors. Love the Easter arrangement. You sure have a beautiful lighthouse in your area and I'm glad that it was restored. I saw the news about Nancy Reagan on tv with a clip of the way she supported her husband when he was ill and people didn't realise It was very touching. Those birds have found a lovely high place to build their nest. Glad the paperwork for the tax gets taken care of. That is something that gives peace of mind. Wishing you a good weekend.
ReplyDeletei love your easter basket hanging on your door, so cheery! i'm looking forward to more from edenton! thank you for linking latane, enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteSo happy to see this post. I'll be able to travel again, now that my Tiki has gone to Kitty Heaven. Edenton looks like a great place to visit.
