Whisper

I've been tagged!! Alice is doing the phone tag thing again, this time calling it "Whisper." Here's the deal...

1. Make a change in the paragraph below. It can be as little as a single word or almost every word, so long as we can still recognize the paragraph you received (the one here in this blog, not the original on Alice's blog).

Here's my paragraph:

He got out of the car and stalked toward her, his keys in one hand and a flower in the other. His name was Robert, but she’d always called him Bobby. She said she liked his clear blue eyes. He thanked her and handed her the flower. Then he kissed her hand and said goodbye, and drove off with Susie Q.

2. Tag three people, and link to them. Also link to the person who tagged you so the chain will not be broken!

3. Now go to the original paragraph here and let Alice know you did it. She will link to you.

4. For extra credit, head over to http://AliceAudrey.wordpress.com around June 9th for the contest based on this meme. You could win a $20 gift certificate.

I'm tagging A. Catherine Noon, Dayle A. Dermatis & Jennifer Bianco.

Have fun!!

Thursday Thirteen - Fun in NC

So, I used to live in NC before I moved to Atlanta. Here are thirteen really fun things to do in NC.


13 NC Attractions...


1. The Outer Banks - beautiful beaches on the east coast of NC.

2. The NC Zoo - it's small, but fun.

3. The Biltmore Estate - a must see in Asheville, NC.

4. Ocracoke Island - part of the Outer Banks. One of my most favorite places in the world!

5. NC Lighthouses - a wide variety and very cool to see.

6. Harrah's Cherokee - if you like a little gambling.

7. Corolla Wild Horses - you have to take a tour to see them, but they used to roam free along the beaches. (How cool is that!?!?)

8. World Beer Festival - in Raleigh, NC. I had friends who went just a few weeks ago and had an awesome time!

9. NC Museum of Art - small but some great stuff housed there! And, a great outdoor concert venue.

10. NC Aquarium - several locations along the coast.

11. The Blue Ridge Parkway - an absolutely gorgeous drive, particularly in the fall.

12. NC Museum of Natural Sciences - also in Raleigh, NC.

13. The NC State Fair - an annual event in October in Raleigh, NC. I drove back up for it last year. Always a lot of fun!!
