Growing up in NWPA and WNY-
Vacation time was almost always a week at the beach!
In the early years –
It was in New Jersey –
Simply – the closest and easiest to get to from WNY!
Then – it was the Outer Banks!
Always – I had that internal feeling-
Someday – I hope to have this as an everyday part of my life!
Today, we have that opportunity –
We have moved to Cameron Woods Community-
In normal traffic –
A ten to twelve-minute drive to the beach from the mainland.
Above – Sherry and I –
We volunteer for the Protection of Sea Turtles!
From mid-May to mid-October –
We are on the beach almost every day!
Our dream of living near the beach has come true!
Our happy place-
On the beach – chairs- and shade from the hot sun.
I have to be careful – sunscreen is a must for me.
I visit the dermatologist every four months.
My Irish heritage is susceptible to pre-cancerous skin cancer from the sun.
So – I enjoy the sun, sand, and surf –
But I am also aware of the hot sun!
We have walked to the Kindred Spirit Mailbox a half dozen times!
And we have walked with family and friends!
It is a quiet walk –
No houses – just sand, surf, and dunes!
The pier at OIB-
Oftentimes, we go here to sit in the shade and watch the surfers!
When there are strong storms out to sea –
The waves here are a surfer’s paradise.
In 2024, we celebrated our 75th birthdays –
On a family beach vacation on OIB!
In our move to NC-
We wanted it to be a day’s drive- 6 to 8 hours for the family to visit!
And they all have been here numerous times,
Even though busy life- jobs and school limits-
Their time here.
We, in turn, travel back-
So every few months we reconnect!
Today – our home –
This is more than likely –
The last time we moved!
We have either built – or bought –
SIX homes!
This is the sixth!
Our BEACH DREAM IS HERE!
In our case –
“DREAMS COME TRUE”!
PAPA’S WORLD –
OIB- BEACH LIFE!
