Talk about a downer for vacation ..... I don't understand how someone can go into a school and kill innocent children. It just makes me sick. It's all too crazy for me to understand.
Today was pretty much low key around the cottage. Not because of the shootings (we didn't hear about them until late this afternoon), but because we've all gotten into "island time." I didn't wake up until nearly 9 - I slept for almost 12 hours. Hmmmm ....
Susie, Soren & Birgit went to the NC aquarium and the Elizabethan Gardens. I'd post pics of their adventure, but Susie hasn't uploaded her photos yet. They said they had a good time.
I, on the other hand, did ........ nothing. Went down to the ocean and finished a book, then hiked back to the cottage pool and started reading another. "Ohplease" from the OBX Connection, is renting the cottage next door, so she & I sat together, watching her little guy play on the beach. How relaxing.
The big news of the day ...... Jeff & Carrie completed the jigsaw puzzle!!!!
I'm wondering how I'll readjust to being back in Iowa - I'll surely miss the constant sound of the ocean. I'll especially miss standing at the kitchen sink, washing dishes and watching the waves roll in, the surfers, the fisherman and the dolphins. At night, I lay in bed and fall asleep hearing the sea. This is the best that I've slept in years.
Here are some pics of the interior of the cottage. It's been absolutely perfect for our needs. Never have I rented the same cottage twice, however I would seriously consider this place again.
