Just This 'n That .... or as they say in Denmark, "Lidt af hvert"

Holy cow!  I am outta Iowa in 8 - yes, eight - days!  I still have lots to do, and the time crunch became apparent when Bugs brought home a gallon of milk .... .and the expiration date is whilst I'm on the Outer Banks!  Yikes or Hooray!!!!  I'm not sure which.

I received a missive from Søren today.  He & his wife, Birgit, will be cooking a traditional Danish dinner during our stay at "Island Jewel".  Some of the group are wondering if any *innards* will be used in the preparation of the meal.  C'mon, you guys .... let's be adventurous!  And more importantly, let's not ask.

It would appear that it has been raining nearly daily on OBX.  There has been some flooding and with the recent passing of Florence, the surf has been causing beach erosion along the shoreline.  I wonder if we will be more oceanfront than previously expected. 

I am a bit annoyed that a sand fence was erected in front of "Island Jewel".  Yeah, yeah ... I realize this fence will help Mother Nature with the building of dunes, but it's an irk factor for me.  And, really .... isn't this trip all about me? 

If you're reading this, be a pal & leave a comment.  I'm actually surprised at how many hits I've had, and I'm still in Iowa!  But, I feel as though I'm performing to an empty room.  I need feedback!  Thanks.

I just wanted to see what you were up to.  I couldn't remember the dates you said you were going to the Outer Banks.  I was just checking in.  Have a great trip.
