See the tiny little clumps of yellow flowers.
My priest is new to the coast and working hard to become an expert on all the plants, shells and wildlife found here on the island of Bogue Banks. He's asked what the name is of these little flowers.
Anybody?
IS IT WRONG TO POST A NOT SO WORDLESS WEDNESDAY POST JUST TO GET POINTS?
This is the Episcopal Flag flying over Trinity Center, the Episcopal retreat center in Pine Knoll Shores, North Carolina. I took this picture Sunday afternoon while on a walk on the beach with my three grandsons. My intention is to write a blog about the center but for now it is simply A not so Wordless Wednesday post. Enjoy!
PS: Did I mention that I am approaching the 100,000 point mark and suddenly points are very important to me?
About every other week, I collect my three grandsons for a sleep-over. They love adventures, so I'm always looking for new places to visit that will be fun for them.
This week-end we visited the Outer Banks Wildlife Shelter (OWLS) in Newport, North Carolina. The facility has been around for almost twenty years and serves as a "hospital" for injured or orphaned wild animals in our area. The program is run by volunteers and is an amazing place for little boys to discover.
The boys were very excited to see so many "gooses". Quite tame.
OWLS is located at 100 Wildlife Way in Newport, just a short drive from Morehead City on Highway 24. Check it out. You can call to arrange a tour at (252) 240-1200.
The nature trail took us about 15 minutes to explore.
The boys enjoyed watching the ducks from the bridge.
Oh, and the next time you're feeling generous, they happily receive donations.
OK, I'm sure it's nothing. Or I should say "they're nothing". But let this be a warning to all of us.
Thursday I went to the dermatologist to have her look at a suspicious mole. She quickly dismissed it and said, "oh, that's just a (fill in the blank with some unpronouncable medical term.) Whew! I'm reaching for my bra...
"mmm...I don't like the looks of this one over here." What "one over here?" I'm thinking as she shined some fancy light on the area.
In any case, an hour later I'm on my way with three bandages where once there were "precancerous" moles. One on my face, one on my knee and one on my back.
I'm trying not to worry but I have 10 days to wait to see what the biopsy says.
Right here in Pine Knoll Shores, North Carolina, in the middle of this little island of Bogue Banks, you can find one of the most beautiful golf courses anywhere. THE COUNTRY CLUB OF THE CRYSTAL COAST.
It is a member owned club and in addition to the golf course, there is a wonderful club house with pro shop, meeting rooms and dining facility as well as a member lounge. There are tennis courts and a brand new swimming pool.
The Country Club of the Crystal Coast is a bargain in anybody's book. Check out the link from my web-site at www.pineknollshoresrealty.com for rates and more information.
This is a picture of our signature hole, #15. It's an easy par three over the water.
My handicap is 27 but I'm working on it. Let's play! Give me a call

The Dream Team
Testomonials: Marian Goetzinger helped us buy our island home in 2002. She did a great job and we were very impressed with her talent. We never considered anyone other than Marian when the time came to sell that property in 2007. Marian and her team handled every detail and the house sold quickly. They were always available to answer any question and do whatever it took to get the job done. We consider Marian our realtor and we are very lucky to have her on our side of the table.

Our beach home purchasing experience with Pine Knoll Shores Realty (PKSR) was quite pleasant due to Marian Goetzinger.Since this was our first purchase of coastal real estate we were a little anxious. Though PKSR was representing the seller, our questions, concerns and issues were treated with the highest level of respect and professionalism while the integrity of the seller/agent relationship was very well maintained by PKSR. Since the closing, Marian Goetzinger of PKSR has on maintained not just a business relationship with us. After the recent Carteret tax re-evaluation we had questions and concerns about the property value.We had not seen Marian since the closing, only email contact, but the feeling that I received during the closing caused me to believe that I could contact her with our concerns about the tax re-evaluation. Not only did Marian listen to our concerns, Marian took the time to look into our property tax card and provided help with our concerns. - David *************************************************

Marian,
I wanted to take a moment, now that we are through the Holiday Season, to say "Thank You" for everything you have done for my wife Kristin and I. Your guidance, honesty, and attention to detail has allowed us to be very fortunate in all of our Crystal Coast real estate ventures. Your professionalism, area knowledge and expertise is unsurpassed in the Atlantic Beach-Pine Knoll Shores area. Your time, and the time your husband Ted have graciously shared with Kristin and I is very much appreciated, and we look forward to working with you both in the future to help fulfill our Crystal Coast dreams! We appreciate the assistance we have received from the Pine Knoll Shores Realty staff, as well as the efforts you and Ted have put forth on our behalf ...especially since we are living so far away in Dallas. Be well, and we hope to see you soon.
Ken and Kristin Rozewski

P.S. Meanwhile...we'll just enjoy your wonderful website!
First and foremost we were so impressed with Marian's knowledge of Pine Knoll Shores and every amenity the community has to offer perspective buyers. All telephone calls and e-mails were returned very promptly. Any suggestions we offered were always treated with professionalism. It was a "good fit" and we thank Marian and her team for making our sale happen! Bill & Pat Madson
