I posted the Ocracoke photos! We ended up with 200 photos of kite flying and ferry rides and not much in between the two activities. However, there wasn’t that much to our days there. We made it to the beach with Miles every day. I read more of Owen Meany (almost done–written in the Reagan era, it is uncannily applicable for the present time/wars), Ellen knit a scarf, and Miles drank a lot of water since it is hard to be a black dog in the sun. There are more options on the island since I was there last (16 years ago). We are ready to go back with a group anytime.
In other news, I found out two friends of mine (J & D) are simultaneously contemplating moves to northern climates…Alaska and Montana! Also, we’ve heard from the owner of Quincy (Q is our favorite Italian Greyhound) that they are both still in the New England! Also, I will get around adding links on the side of the page to Joyce’s blog as well as Hedy’s blog soon, I promise but you can enjoy these pages from these links for now. Hint: if your Dutch is rusty, you can go to Babelfish and copy and paste Joyce’s web address: www.sjoisie.blogspot.com in the “Translate a Web page” box and choose “Dutch to English” translation.
