Lift Up Your Heads, Rejoice Lift up your heads, rejoice, redemption draweth nigh; Now breathes a softer air, now shines a milder sky; The early trees put forth their new and tender leaf; Hushed is the moaning wind that told of winter’s grief. Lift up your heads, rejoice, redemption draweth nigh; Now mount the laden [...]

…to the freshly made apple fritters! On the way to our Emerald Isle adventure we decided to stop for breakfast at Yana’s Restaurant on Front Street in Swansboro.

Last night we headed East to Swansboro to have dinner. I tried Grouper for the first time ever and it was very good. We also had a great scallop nacho appetizer. The scallops were like butter.
