Beaufort, North Carolina

Saturday, March 31

A family friend of ours, Phil Gates, stayed with us recently. During his visit we all took a day trip to Beaufort, just over 2.5 hours from Raleigh on the coast. We took a guided tour with Captain Bob, learned about the town's history and saw wild horses on Carrot Island. All of us visited the Maritime Museum and saw some of the recovered remains of Blackbeard's ship - Queen Anne's Revenge. We closed out the day with a stop at Atlantic Beach where the girls went swimming and Sam ate some sand and chased the waves.

R.I.P. Mr. Jiggles


Monday, March 26

Please say a prayer for Hanna because her hamster, Mr. Jiggles, died. We believe he was getting old and may have become sick. He died peacefully in his sleep. Hanna is very sad.

Here is what Hanna wrote in her not that will accompany Mr. Jiggles in his final resting place:
"R.I.P. Rest In Peace. Here lies Mr. Jiggles my hamster. He died on 3-26-2007. I hope he has a good life in pet heaven. I love him to the end of the ground to the end of space around the planets and back! I just want to say he was the best and never bit me. He bit my mom once. I hope he has a good life. XOXOXOXOXOXO. Signature of owner Hanna K. Melting."

St. Patrick's Day

Saturday, March 17

I haven't posted a blog for a while but I did just upload some pictures to my Flickr account (click on Melting Family Photos to view). Tonight we will be attending a St. Patrick's Day party at our neighbor's house. Hopefully we have some stories to share that we can post later tomorrow.
