Hi Dale,


 RH> Steve proposed to me out on the Bogue fishing pier on Emerald Isle.

 DS> We drove by there.

And we intend to get back there, hopefully while school is out for the
summer.  Latter part of November would be more appropriate, date wise
tho. (G)


 RH> Did you possibly get up to T&W's Oyser Ba (HWY 58, heading towards
 RH> Maysville) while you were there?  We knew the original owner.  When we
 RH> visited the area in October, 07, we stopped there for a meal on our
 RH> frst night.  Other than expanding the restaurant, it hadn't changed.
 RH> Lots of good food, decent price.

 DS> We did not know of that place.  We were there four nights, two of
 DS> which had catered dinners and the other two we only ate light fare.
 DS> You guys might be interested in the last place we ate on Emerald Isle
 DS> -- called
 DS> Andy's.  I talked about it yestereday.  They have one in Wake
 DS> Forest:-}}


I saw the reference & looked up the location of the one in WF for a
possible visit.

When you talked before the trip about going to the Outer Banks, I was
thinking of the Nags Head, Manteo, Kill Devil Hills area.  If you had
said Emerald Isle, I would have suggested T&Ws.  In that area, they're
known more as the barrier islands vs the outer banks.  When we were in
TX, a hurricane blew thru the area; I saw a reporter doing his "stand
up" at the B Cameron Langston bridge.  A sight of home as at that time
we were thinking Steve would only spend 4 years in the Army.

 DS> Friday night was the wedding rehearsal and afterwards they served a
 DS> dinner for everyone there.  It was quite nice.  The wedding planner
 DS> arranged the table set up under a huge canopy at the hotel for about

 RH> Which hotel?

 DS> A place called the Islander.

Sort of thought it would be, just curious.  We wanted to stay there on
our trip up from Savannah in 07 but they were full--fishing tournament I
think.  So, we stayed at the Best Western in Bogue--that wasn't even in
exsistence when we moved away in 83.  The RV place across from it had
been a watermelon field.


 DS> and a choice of martinis.  The chocolate martini was quite good.

 RH> Much as I like chocolate, I don't think I would have liked a chocolate
 RH> martini. (G)

 DS> Understand.  It sort of resembled Bailey's Irish Cream -- and this was
 DS> an Irish wedding:-}}

Sort of got that impression.


 DS> from the chopped pile.  As need be, he would pull other parts
 DS> (shoulder, loin, etc.) in to the center and chop.

 RH> Standard for the area.

 DS> I'll be posting some pictures soon.  Will post the link to them here.
 DS> By the time the folks were done, that pig was pretty devastated.

I've seen it "for real".  I'd be devastated too, if I were that pig.
From your description, I'd also be pretty well decimated or devoured.
