What We Love About North Carolina....

People ask us all the time, "What is it about North Carolina that makes living there so special?"
That's a hard question to answer. On any given day, Blaise or I could give you a list a mile long of why we love living in North Carolina.


But, if you're really interested -- here are just a few of the things we LOVE about living in Raleigh, North Carolina........


The View from Our Front Porch right around martini time. On a clear night, right before the sun totally sets, the sky gets an amazing shade of blue, and if you're lucky, you can see the moonrise. We have a front row seat from our front porch for this spectacular view. Sometimes we have a martini, sometimes a cup of coffee -- and we just sit there and take it all in.
I took this picture just last week:


The View from the Harley as we ride through the Fields. This is one of my favorite things to do early on a Sunday morning. We get up before the kids, I grab my camera and we ride the Harley way out into the corn and tobacco fields where the air smells sweet and the vision is a sea of kelly green....





And, then, of course, there's my personal View of Sabrina, on outdoor chore day, when she stares at me from inside the downstairs window taunting me, whilest I toil and struggle. This is Sabrina's (I don't want to work outside) View:


Finally, a Recca Family Favorite -- is the View from the Outer Banks just before Sunset....
when the air is warm and salty, yet there are no crowds, no traffic -- just the quiet sound of the ocean....

I could go on, and on, and on. Isn't it time you came to pay us a visit -- so you can come up with your own list of reasons why you LOVE living in North Carolina???? You may think you're just coming for a visit -- but I'll just bet -- you'll NEVER want to leave!!!


Have a great week everybody. Spring is finally HERE!!
