We hope all of our readers had a safe and happy Independence Day. There was so much going on here yesterday on Ocracoke Island. Following are a few photos (I'm sorry, but I don't have pictures of the sand sculptures, the classic cars, most of the parade floats, etc., but I hope you enjoy these).

The Herd Skydivers Coming in for a Landing:
Lou Ann, Jim, & I on our Float (The "De-Hyde-Ration Co. ABC Store" -- sold out of everything...but only local folks got the joke!):
The Queens (and Buccaneers) of Ocracoke:
Evening Squaredance at the Community Store:
Even the Dogs were Celebrating:

ReplyDeleteThank you for the extra effort of posting photos for us to enjoy. They really enliven your already thoughtful words, and help those of us who aren't there to further share in the daily life of Ocracoke.
Always a pleasure.
I've got my eye on that Queen on the left.
ReplyDeleteMmmmmm . . . mighty purty.
ReplyDeleteWould Lou Ann be willing to sell me her left over ABC Store? I figure with a 4 ft x 4 ft piece of land and that shack we could finally become local residents.
