No.1 Outer Banks,North Carolina.
A VACATION on the Outer Banks, that 120-mile string of islands jutting out into the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of North Carolina, might best be described by what it is not. “It’s not boardwalks,” says Tim Cafferty, owner of Outer Banks Blue Real Estate Sales in Kitty Hawk. “It’s not neon-type entertainment.”
Laid-back beach towns dot State 12, which runs from the Virginia border to Ocracoke Island. These coastal communities call to families who return each summer, tumbling out onto the beach in the mornings to swim, collect seashells, and build sand castles until dinnertime.

The Powerg Poinsettias
A little while back, a neighbor knocked on my door, hoisting up a ruby red plant so enormous it concealed her completely from midriff to head. I was new to the area, and this was her way of welcoming me. A poinsettia, vividly colored, overflowing its pot, and endearingly ill-timed-it wasn't even Thanksgiving yet. But the plant seemed to brighten up the whole world just a bit, as if daring anyone to reject the early holiday spirit. You could say it kick-started my love for the leafy shrub and what it seems to represent: a simple kind of goodwill.
