Two weeks from tonight, someone else will be in my little Ocracoke house and I will be back in Lewisville. As the school year winds down, I continue to try to absorb all that is Ocracoke.
This has been a wonderful weekend on the island. Ocrafolk Festival was amazing. The weather was perfect. I had some great local food. Walked many, many miles both on the beach and in the village. Had the opportunity to sail on the Skipjack Wilma Lee. Even had a brief visit with someone I knew more than 40 years ago!
I already miss the island, but I am looking forward to being closer to my family, to being able to visit extended Hodges and Dixon family, to going to the mountains. Ten months here on Ocracoke, and ten weeks at home before it is time to return….
In the meantime, here is a collage of life here on the island…
When I got in the car and headed east last August, I really had no idea what to expect. This adventure has been exactly that– an adventure! It has taken me places I could never have imagined. So many new experiences, new people. I have learned a lot, not only about Ocracoke but about myself. Adventure, indeed!
Stay tuned…
