2nd Saturdays With Sarah
After my daughter cleaned up in more that one way from her
"Toy Yard Sale"
What an awesome motivator for a deep cleaning of her room!
We spent the rest of our Saturday in Manteo with our good friend Sarah at the History Center.
After watching the documentary film
"Rescue Men": The Story of the Pea Island Lifesavers
we spent some extra special time with Sarah in the History Center checking out interesting books, artifacts, documents, photos to back up some of the Outer Banks notorious history, legends and other "Local Lore".
We really enjoyed ourselves!

Taking A Dip
Ok, so we spent Sunday afternoon with Sarah too. Mary LOVES hanging out at the pool with
Sarah and Chopper!
Monday Rolls Around
So ... I figured it was about time to actually get back to "WORK"
You have to start somewhere!
How many Dremel batteries does it take to get to the center of 9 kettle gourds?
Duno... I gave up after 2!
It didn't help that these guys were SO... thick I couldn't use my cutting tool to break all the way through the shell.
Wow!
I had to come back with a deep engraving tip to finish the job.
Kettle Gourds
aka
Martin House Gourds
These guys will eventually end up being birdhouses and bird feeders.
Bird Feeders
Dirty Job
I hear that these lowly squash made it to the show "Dirty Jobs"
Hmmmm... I can't imagine why???
I haven't seen the episode but I am sure I will as soon as it makes it to Hulu or Netflix.
These gourds were actually some of the easier gourds to clean.

It will be time to decorate and dye as soon as I get them completely cleaned out and touched up.
