We decided to take our company to Ocean Isle Beach – play some mini golf –
walk to the ice cream store and then go out onto the beach at sunset!
The people had gathered waiting for the surprise – we did not see it – but it was beautiful.
It was a fun day – we had gone to Sunset beach in the early afternoon –
then to dinner in Calabash and after here to play mini golf and walk the beach with ice cream!

We have known them since our volleyball days back in the mid to late “80’s.
We have vactioned with them and their children – shared meals and presents.
Moments in time of destress and family passings.
TRUE FRIENDS all these years and now they have come to vaction in our new home.
We planed a beach week – golfing day – eating out for seafood and now – minature golf –
as their son and daughter in law along with grandbaby – join us.
It has been a wonderful time rehashing old stories and listening to new news fom back home.
They are from Portville N.Y. as were we before moving to NVA and now N.C.
They visited us in NVA and now here.
One of the things they agreed to do with us was walk to what is known as the KINDRED SPIRIT mailbox
that is installed about 1.4 miles down the Sunset Beach and known as BIRD ISLAND!
It was installed there going on five decades ago – by a peace loving hippie couple.
In that mailbox are journals to wrtie your thoughts.
These journals are considered historic essays – thoughts and from all types of people and currently are in a musuem.
It is very wide when the tide is out – and rather calm – hard packed sand for easy walking!
The water was a balmy 82 degrees in mid September!
Now – the tourist season is mostly over – kids back in school – college kids gone so business scale back.
But – the beach remains the same – we almost have it all to ourselves!

A couple weeks ago after we moved in – we tried to come down to the beach – a band we knew was playing –
but there was a line to cross the causeway and started a half mile before the traffic circle.
We learned that next time we would come earlier – and we did – and had no wait – we drove right in and parked.
This venue is free and runs from Memorial Day right through a couple weeks in September.
All top notch bands – and it is a bring your own food and drink –
no glass containers – and most people have plastic cups.
Lawn chairs – just sit down where you want –
and they do have pop corn – water and soda’s for sale.
Bathrooms are here and this is located right at the traffic circle – across the road from the beach.
A friend of ours who lives back in Lancaster Pa. –
told me she grew up in a community with one of the band members and knew him quite well!
It is indeed a small world!
We stayed for over a hour –
and then drove the 4 miles back to Cameron Woods.
The pier is but a short walk across the intersection –
and there was plenty of parking.
By the time we left –
I would say 3 to 400 people were scattered around.
I think a lot of them were locals
but also from beach rentals.

It was a beautiful sun rise – the best I have yet to see here!
Everything was quiet – except the birds!
I went back inside and grabbed my phone to take a few pictures.
The sun comes up right there and that is where the Ocean is some three miles away.
We get really fantastic cloud formations from here and to the West.
It will be a good year and half before they have built out – but most of that is away from us!
Each week more and more homes close – and people are moving in.
And I am surprised how easy it is to leave the Cameron Woods community and get onto the main road.
It is a good half mile stretch or 3/4 mile in both direction and is straight so you can see.
Only once have I had to sit and wait and that was only a minute of two.

Sherry flew back to NVA to watch the twins in a play and because both parents work – instead of them paying
for a couple weeks at summer camp –
they bought plane tickets instead and she flew back with them for me to pick up!
The parents were coming down the following week anyways for a in law family vacation about a hour South of us.
We spent the day yesterday with them – in the sun and the warm water of the ocean.
But once we seperated the two –
Cassidy and Bode – it was fine.
Taylor – who is only ten years old – will be taller than her MorMor ( Sherry ) who is 5’9″.
I had purchased the tickets for he and I – and while standing in line he said to me –
“Papa – can we get a refund”?
“No” I said.
“PAPA – I am scared – will you hold onto me”?
OF COUSE and I did and he loved it – wanting to go again!
