There are at least three yard sales planned for tomorrow morning. There may be more, but I know of three: one on Back Road, one on Cedar, and one at the Ocracoke Pizza Company building. I think Connor and I might need to take a walk around and do some shopping!
I don't need another single thing, but I usually find some little treasure that I like at yard sales. Sometimes I find gifts for others. I almost always come home with several books. What are your favorite yard sale finds?

If you're planning to be on the island this weekend, you have plenty of choices for food and beverages. No, all the restaurants haven't suddenly reopened...but there are some fundraiser meals planned.
On Saturday, head over to the Ocracoke School Commons between 11:00 and 2:30 to enjoy a homemade chili and cornbread lunch. According to info. posted on Facebook, "This event is sponsored by the Ocracoke Youth Center Saturday Basketball teams. Proceeds will be used for trophies and other equipment."
For your Saturday evening meal and entertainment, you might choose Gaffer's, which has good food, including daily specials. Martin and Friends (Lou, Brett and Clifton are the friends) will be playing starting at 9:30 PM.
On Sunday morning, get some delicious pancakes to support OCC.
If you're thirsty after all that food, and if you like beer, head to Zillie's on Monday night. Get more info. on that here.
(Eat and) drink up me hearties, yo ho!

OCRACOKE-CEDAR ISLAND ROUTE WILL HAVE ABBREVIATED SCHEDULE FOR MONTH OF MARCH
Two Sound Class boats will be at shipyard for Certificate of Inspection
MANNS HARBOR — The N.C. Department of Transportation’s Ferry Division
will be running an abbreviated schedule on its Ocracoke-Cedar Island
route beginning Tuesday, March 1.
The Motor Vessel Silver Lake is currently at the shipyard undergoing
extensive work during its dry dock period. The MV Pamlico is scheduled
to come in for its U. S. Coast Guard Certificate of Inspection March
1. Since both boats will be temporarily out of service, the route will
go to a two-boat schedule.
The route will include the following runs:
Departing from Cedar Island at 10 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.; and
Departing from Ocracoke at 7:30 a.m. and 1 p.m.
This schedule will remain in place until the required work on the
ferries is completed and they are inspected. The Swan Quarter-Ocracoke
route will not experience any changes during this time period.
NCDOT awarded contracts to build two new Sound Class vessels to serve
this route to Orange Shipbuilding Co. The new ferries are currently
under construction and are expected to be delivered later this year
and in 2012.

The only bad thing...
...about early spring weather, is that it brings other early things, like mosquitoes (yes, really, although thankfully only a few) and pollen. My eyes itch and I have a bit of a sniffle...something that normally happens in April, not February. Oh well. I still enjoyed those few lovely warm days we had! Now the chill seems to be coming back, brought in my a cold wind. Darn.

Duh!
I went to the Post Office today after going to Turbo Kick (exercise class). Now why wasn't there any new mail? Duh! It was President's Day. Whoops. I didn't remember because I didn't have the day off work. The kids here also didn't have the day off school - it was a make up day for one missed earlier in the school year (last fall, I believe).
So, anyway...Happy President's Day, wherever you are!
