April 10 was our anniversary. We celebrated by visiting a lighthouse named "Old Baldy' off the coast of North Carolina. Pictured above is Mel standing in the doorway of its base. You can see beautiful pictures of the lighthouse and explore its history at the website http://www.oldbaldy.org/
We had some great seafood for lunch at Southport, NC. Then we rode a ferry across the sound (about 30 minutes) to Baldhead Island, given its name by ancient sailors who thought it looked like the top of a man's bald head sticking up out of the water. We both climbed to the top of the old lighthouse which is no longer being used and enjoyed the museum and history surrounding it.
The weather was perfect that day. We spent the afternoon walking around the island and had refreshments at an outdoor cafe. We were able to take our Nala and Gretel with us. Gretel enjoyed the outing and the attention from strangers and all the new smells. Nala was frightened by the ferry ride and did not enjoy it as well, but she got some good exercise. She was glad to get back to the haven of the truck when we got back to shore that evening.
For Easter, we went to an early church service with Amy & Josh & Abigail. Abigail looked like a little doll. The service was a very worshipful celebration with full orchestra and choir and message from the pastor. After church we visited the grave of our little Emma Cate. We look forward to that resurrection day when we can hold her in our arms and watch her grow up all because our Lord Jesus conquered death and the grave. He is our life and our sure hope of eternity. Hallelujah!
