old friends, good food

Some people you see too seldom, like friends who live on the west coast and are busy raising children. Happily, Mandi and Jim found a fantastic rental home for their week on Ocracoke (through Blue Heron Realty, of course). Their vacation cottage is small but uses space remarkably well, with room for their family of five, and a huge screened porch and shaded yard.

Perfect for entertaining, and on Tuesday they hosted a cookout. Jim had spent the morning gathering clams, and there were skewers of meat, veggies and scallops on the grill. Cool cubes of pineapple were inside, near the white wine on ice. Yummy! Excellent party. There is nothing like a cookout to make it feel like summer.

Figs are ripening like mad, and Sarah told me she's been eating two tomatos a day. I wonder what she's trying to keep away? A lot of people schedule little breaks for themselves in the middle of the summer. Maybe I should pop up to the mountains and hop in a cool stream.

Bryan just got home from fishing, reporting "spanish mackerel and bluefish, a lot of 'em." He's frying shrimp they've got at good prices at the fish house. I'm going to try to enjoy summer while it's here.

About Me

My Photo
Name: Blue Heron Vacations
Location: Ocracoke, NC, United States

I grew up on Ocracoke (Class of 1990!) and graduated from Davidson College. Jennifer, who many of you know as the owner of Blue Heron Realty, has been a great and true friend for as long as I can remember. I work as a waitress at the Cafe Atlantic, serve on the board of our community radio station (check out WOVV.org) and write an occasional column for the Island Breeze. Every time I travel I fall in love with a new place, but nothing yet trumps living near my (at times eccentric) family, swimming in the Atlantic on our world class beach, and being part of the strong, warm and inspiring community which is Ocracoke.
