S I WAS digging
through
pictures from
years past of
the really fun things that
I’ve been privileged to
do, like join the Carolina
Ocean Studies Masonboro
Island trip with a class of
Wilmington 5th-graders
to hunt crabs, explore the
marsh, and learn about
barrier islands, I became
quite reflective.
I have been trying to
find the perfect photo that
represents now — even
one that was taken in the
past — and I’m feeling
very red, white and blue.
It is hard to believe, but
this is my 20th July issue.
We are in unprecedented
times, when the principles
of our Declaration of
Independence and Constitution are really being tested. It’s also a time when the fruit of love, joy and peace are desperately needed.
For months now, we’ve consciously worked to create a magazine that’s enjoyable, entertaining and calming for our readers; one that’s
representative of the greater community that we live in and love so much.
In this issue you’ll read about the classic Elco wooden boat, a personal favorite; an update on Carolina Ocean Studies and the great
progress they’ve made; the amazing
woman behind the Hieronymus
Brothers; an incredible new home on
Harbor Island; and recipes to enjoy
veggies straight from the garden, a
unique movement called Cook it
Forward and more.
Do enjoy our high month of sum-mer
as we celebrate the birth of our
nation 244 years ago along with the
freedoms that we hold so dear.
Peace and blessings,
We are excited
to share our
beautiful, newly
designed website.
Stop by and
enjoy the July
issue with us.
upfront
For our July issue three years ago we hired a crew to paint the faces of Harbor Island children for a parade
along Live Oak Drive. I had my face painted too.

Emerging from the lockup five months and counting
into my adventure of life without the use of my left arm
finds me at a unique place. I’ll keep you posted.
