It Was The Time...

   As I looked at Christmas posts on Facebook this morning, One thing stuck out in my mind. People posted pictures and thoughts, and the vast majority of these from "Facebook Friends" were of family.

   That just seemed to be the theme, and we were no exception.

   From the time the Christmas Cactus began to bloom, we looked forward to having some of our family with us on the Island.

   And our Virginia folks showed up to make the season bright.

   There came Doug and Dawn with theirs: The originals, Drew, Caroline and Lucy and the new additions David and Laken.

   The weather was great, outside beckoned, and the ocean cooperated..

   Christmas morning at the Cloister Chapel, the right place to be..

   But four days is not enough, and, too soon, it was time to go.

   They had stuff to pack, and bikes to strap on.

   And then it was on the road north.

   And what memories will we take out of this Christmas, 2016?

   What we did as a family…

   And what did we wish for?

   More of the same, with the Arkansas 4 and the Charlotte 4 added to the Virginia 7 making the Holiday truly spectacular.

   Maybe 2017

   We are blessed, and we know it...
