Christmas Cactus

So lovely to return home to these delicate winter blooms and holiday lights on Ocracoke Island. Typically I'm fairly indifferent to Christmastime, but this year I'm kind of in the spirit, and even --fair warning, friends-- trying my hand at some homemade gifts.

I had a nice conversation with someone who I seldom see, because she lives down point, in the Post Office this morning. Plan for the afternoon: find an excuse return to the bank in order to eat another one of Brooke's reindeer cupcakes.

I was hoping you would give us an update on the adventures of Al and Linda in Florida.

As of yesterday they're still in Vero Beach, but the outboard is fixed and re-assembled. When I left (on Friday) they were admiring the Christmas tree poster Max colored for the boat and were talking about baking bread in the tiny galley oven.
Al has laid in a store of boxed wine and dinty moore, and linda has chocolate stashed all over.

Anonymous, you're not actually one of my parents, are you?

If I were one of your parents, do you think that I would admit it -- right here, where God and everybody could read it? Nope. I'm just one of your many secret admirers.

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.
