Comment from Rachelle Allen
Very well drawn and then executed. I could smell the salty marine air and feel the grit of the sand as I pictured your crew becoming one with the water. I also really like the way none of your stories has an accompanying picture. You make your readers have their own mental images based on your words. Great work...yet again.

I think they used to have pics. Probably past the time allotted for use. Thank you again.

Oh, I didn't know that could happen! Honestly, every day is a learning experience on this site!!
Comment from padumachitta
hi
glad I dropped by and caught this.
I always wonder and am curious about those who live on the outer banks. For goodness sakes, the winds, the threat of hurricanes...
so this wee peice gave me a little insight. thanks

Comment from Cindy Warren
I'm sure that if I lived near the beach, I'd postpone moving too. I can't imagine a kid who wouldn't love it. Tornadoes can happen anywhere. If you love it there, stay.

We get water spouts here, tornados over the ocean. Incredible sight to see. Thank you so much for this great review. Have a wonderful week. Gretchen
Comment from Pam (respa)
-Very nice image and
a good story to go with it.
-You show your fondness
for this place very well
as you share the background
of your family, especially the kids.
-My father's side of the family
was lived about 40 min. outside of
Richmond, and my son went to
the U. of Richmond.
-I imagine it was very different for your
oldest, as opposed to the younger ones
who grew up with the ocean.
-The imagery is very good and vividly
shows what you love about this place.
-Amazing that you have only evacuated
during one hurricane.
-A very good conclusion, too.
-Very well done, Gretchen.

You are very welcome, and thank you, Gretchen. It was back in 2008 when he graduated. It was a wonderful experience all the way around.

Living near the sea is marvellous Gretchen, most of Australia's population is around the coast here Louise, so most are within easy reach of a beach. Australia's a good suggestion, A lot of European countries, are a little landlocked. Well done, blessings, Roy

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
You did a great job expressing your love for your hometown/area. I enjoyed reading it. I could see everything you mentioned--the beach, the kids playing in the water, and you trying to hose off them before coming inside. You words are heartfelt. I can feel your love for this special place. Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

Most of my life spent on a beach somewhere, I miss it every day I'm away, which I'm sure you will too if you ever move. Enjoy it and your children for as long as you can. Thanks for sharing!

I can certainly understand that. I was really impressed with the Sea the first and only time I saw it. I have always been.

Sometimes we need to sacrifice a little for happiness. Stay where you're happy. What a wonderfully written little story.
Have a great day and God bless.

Comment from roof35
I understand the love of the Outer Banks as I have spent time there. Your musing describes it perfectly. I enjoyed reading this. I mention a typo just so you can fix it. In the line underneath your illustration you use the word "off" twice.
