The "can do" man The best investment my husband and I ever made was the purchase of a beach house. In the spring of 1992, we went for a weekend to Ocean Isle Beach to reserve a house for our summer vacation. We had discovered Ocean Isle with its canal houses several years earlier and had been spending our vacation time there. When my husband came from the realty office with a key to a house for sale, I was flabbergasted. There was no way we could afford a beach house. But my husband is a “can-do” person who not only found a way but convinced me, too. Now, 15 years later, we still can’t believe our good fortune. Not only is our home worth five times our original cost, but, more importantly, we’ve had 15 years of fun with family and friends. Now we are retired and living at Ocean Isle almost year-round. Had we not purchased our “dream” 15 years ago, we could never have it today. Although our best investment together was our beach house, my best investment was marrying my “can-do” dreamer nearly 40 years ago. Mrs. James Hudson |
