Oriental, NC

We've been having pretty wild swings in weather, typical springtime. 

One day warm then one day chilly -  "smoke on the water" just after sunrise.



We ventured out for our first quasi-retail experience.  Duane needed some conduit for the electrical project and since they come in 10' lengths were not eligible for free shipping.  So we did the Lowe's contactless pickup order route.

Everything was not in stock in the New Bern store (1/2 hour away) so we decided a trip to the Morehead City store (1+ hour away) wasn't that bad.  We decided to relax and take the ferry route - it's about the same amount of travel time taking the ferry or driving around but the ferry is more fun.  They have reduced the number of runs the ferry makes from every 1/2 hour to once every 2 hours due to the decreased demand.....

 There were only a few cars making the trip with us.





The seagulls often chase the ferry - looking for handouts of bread.  They noisily swooped by my window.


 Cathy and Ed made pizza for dinner!  Yum!  Better than Domino's.



They made one just veggies for me  - sweet red peppers and some artichokes thrown in.  Delicious.




And I was out of bread, so I had left a loaf to rise while we had dinner.  Hopped off their boat and popped this in the oven.



It baked while we played cards - I had an alarm to remind me to take it out of the oven.  Perfect!
