“Where do you really live?”

A question I have answered numerous times (twice this week in fact).  

A look of confusion is common. “Isn’t it (pick an adjective) isolating, dreary, quiet, creepy, boring in the winter?” 

Then to the follow up question: “Where are you from originally?”  When I answer “Avalon”, it’s certainly not what they are expecting.  How can somebody be from the shore?? 

This is when I feel obligated to mention that we love to travel (to clarify that I can drive over the bridge!) and feel so fortunate to live by the beach.

Avalon and Stone Harbor: my family history, my childhood, my place of business, and my home.  Proud to share it with you, too.
