Weather Report
Brought to you by the flags over Hoy’s 5 & 10 in Avalon.
The blooming trees along Dune Drive partially obstruct the view from my office window.
But, it’s still obvious that today is: Â sunny and windy 🙂

A Unique Life
Late yesterday, I quickly changed after work for a walk along the beach.
As I enjoyed the warm sun and ocean views, a thought occurred to me: Â “Who else gets to do this after work?”
Grateful for our unique life!

Easter Weekend
It’s only Thursday, and already a noticeable difference with activity around town.
People are riding their bikes, and walking the beach (many dressed for the 70 degree temps inland instead of the cooler island air!)
Deck furniture is out and lights are on in more neighboring homes.
Looking forward to a busy weekend!

Peace…
As an avid traveler, the attacks in Brussels (and elsewhere) break my heart.
I will never understand the hatred that consumes those carrying out terroristic attacks.
The innocent people killed and injured are just like us: moms, dads, business people, tourists, students…all going about their day.
For me, traveling has reinforced the similarities rather than the differences. Â We are connected by our life experience. And people are generally kind and good.
Wishing for peace…

Irish Roots
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Â
On my father’s side: my grandmother was born in County Clare in the Republic of Ireland, and my grandfather grew up near Ballymena and the Antrim Coast in Northern Ireland. A real mixed marriage!
They met and married in Philadelphia, and vacationed in Stone Harbor each summer while raising 6 children (pictured in front of their rental cottage).  In the 1950s, my grandparents built a year round home in Avalon. A family business brought the sons and daughters (some with spouses and young children) from Philadelphia to Avalon shortly thereafter.
After visiting the beautiful windswept coast of Northern Ireland, I can totally understand my grandfather’s love of the shore.
Sand in our shoes… and salt air in our lungs 😉
Sláinte!
