Really?

The fact that we live on the island year round is intriguing to some.  Reactions vary between envy, and pity (which I don’t understand- look at my view as I walk along the beach!) 

And, I can always count on the same follow up question from a new acquaintance:  “Where are you from originally?”   “Here, actually”  I say.  “I was raised in Avalon, and my husband grew up in Wildwood.”

This catches them off guard.   We don’t look like trolls who lived under the causeway bridge…with the feral cats!  We’ve had normal lives, with a few added adventures of growing up in a seasonal community 😉   We have full time jobs and love to travel.  And we feel fortunate to call this area our “home” .
