THROUGH TIME- MEMORIES IN PICTURES!

On the EAST end of OIB –

a new granite wall was installed –

900 feet out to the water –

with a 90-degree turn – a few feet.

Then dredging from the Shalotte waterway –

Sand pumped up-

and a new wide beach formed –

to save that street from underwater!

Today that beach remains but beyond that wall –

erosion is happening!

That is the part of the beach that we walk as volunteers to see if Sea Turtles –

Have come ashore –

and made a nest to lay their eggs!

It is a very fragile stretch of beach.

But that wall protects everything West of it!

Where we live nearby – Causeway Bridge from the mainland to Sunset Beach!

We choose our home location –

Cameron Woods Community – OIB –

because we can be at this bridge in fifteen minutes!

The year Sherry retired – the twins had just started walking –

We were on a beach vacation on Oak Island-

Little did we know then that we would live near here at OIB!

MEMORIES – TIMES IN PICTURES!

Papa’s World – Making new memories – revisiting past ones!

It was a game where Pittsburg played Buffalo in a playoff game – it also was where four neighbors came together – two households were Steeler fans and two households were Bills fans –

And all four houses were close to one another – PARTY TIME making new memories!

So it goes in our Cameron Woods Community neighborhood – NFL playoffs – team spirit!

The gathering before the game – fun – shots – a few drinks and BUFFALO WINGS AND BUFFALO DIP!

Lots of food and snacks – TERRIBLE TOWELS were shaking –

Golf cart decked out – jerseys came out of closets –

and a good time had by all!

In the end – the Bills moved on – but the neighbors remained – good friends!

When the ladies of the Steelers and the Bills come together –

Making new MEMORIES –
