We got up at 4:30 a.m. and drove and hour from Oak Island, N.C. to Myrtle Beach, S.C. to catch our 8:30 flight. We we arrived, very annoyed by a 3 or 4 year old girl who was bossing her grandparents and parents and 2 year old brother around for the whole 1 and 1/2 hour flight, and went straight to Wallingford to pick up Brigit at the Kennel.
I missed her so much.
The beach was great!
Oak Island's beach faces South so the sun rises to the right, in the East, and goes straight up to the West end for wondrous sunsets.
The company was incredible!
Mimi, Tim and Eleanor, our daughter son-in-law and 6 year old granddaughter. We love them so.
Jack and Sherry, who we've known since we arrived in CT.
And John, who we've known since I was a social worker and Bern was finishing college in Morgantown, WV. He went to the house church I attended and Bern and I hosted in our attic.
They are our oldest friends and we know them so well and they know us the same way.
We took turns cooking dinners and had great meals. Lots of fish, Bern's pizza, Tim and Mimi's burritos and other yummy stuff.
We read and talked and sat in the gazebo attached to the house, took beach walks, collected shells (mostly Bern and Eleanor) and put the shells at the public access to the beach with a sign that said "Shell library, take one and leave one". Lots of people took pictures and videos of that.
What could be better than and island in North Carolina with some of the most precious members of your life?
Not much, beloved. Not much....
