Three cheers!

Tonight Carol hosted bridge. She'd baked these sinful brownies with creamed cheese and had brewed a lovely pot of blood orange tea that she bought on her recent trip to see some shows in New York. The long hours and hard work of summer pay off in multiple winter vacations; Carol spent part of December in Hawaii, and leaves in February for an African safari. Here's to making a bucket list and checking things off it!

Tonight's games ended with a slam, artfully bid and boldly played by Macky Bell, the most senior member of our bridge club. I was lucky enough to be her partner, and when she took her final finesse and brought the slam home it felt like we'd won a triple overtime game against our archrivals! Here's to Macky, and her keen octogenarian mind!

Here's to winter on Ocracoke! In the last week I enjoyed a fabulous dinner with an extended group of friends that can never manage to be in the same place at the same time during the summer season (Thanks, Fess and Jennnifer!), a evening of hilarity and wine with ladies escaping their pre-schoolers, and a game night with Sundae and her adolescent children. Those are just the highlights. Not having anything to conflict with watching ACC basketball also gets a thumbs up from me. Go heels!

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.
