Oriental, NC

 

  

     Bella is moving up in the ranks, she now watches guard!


     This house is out in the middle of no where!


     Camp Lejeune, NC

    As you travel north on the Intracoastal you pass Camp 
    Jeune home of the US Marine Corps. As the sign says do 
    not proceed when the lights are flashing as they are literally training 
    and firing live rounds over the waterway. Quite intimidating!



    Coming back from dinner we saw ahead all this commotion in the water.  Fins flapping 
     In the water.   As we approached we saw hundreds of stingrays.  By the 
     time we had our camera out they calmed down and stopped breaking the water surface.
    


    Quite impressive! The entrance to River Dunes Marina, Oriental, North Carolina.
     This is a planned village with everything you could want. 


    Pretty much 1/2 to 1 million dollar homes.  Living style we could get used to.


    Cabanas, pool, hot tub, restaurant, steam showers, tennis, store and cafe.


   There  is also a little chapel  and on Saturday there was a wedding planned.
     It was cold and rainy.
     At 4:45 the sun came out and it was 70  degrees.  Talk about a 
     blessed couple.







    Took Bella to a dog groomer and stopped at the Express Walmart?  They also had a
     Express West Marine.  We could use these in Fair Haven?


    We had to take Bella to get her hair shampooed and cut.  The dog groomer is an animal 
     Lover.   How unusual, this peacock was the product of the normal beautiful and 
     Colorful Peacock Parents we are familiar with.  She is not an albino as she has blue
     Eyes.  The lady groomer owns ducks, geese, peacocks, chickens, dogs, and serves as
     A Rescue facility to 25 or more Mcaws birds.
     I can't explain to you how loud her office was as they screech for attention.
