Once again. over 20 friends gathered on the Outer Banks of North Carolina to spend a week together. This is our 30th year we have vacationed as a group, renting a big house, cooking meals, playing sports and cards, praising God, and mainly just enjoying being together.
from our great room, We watched the sun set in the sound and rise out of the Atlantic hours later We played putt putt golf and ate at our favorite hot dog restaurant (tradition),
But This year was different.
Several members of the group said this was their last year. We’re not in our 30s and 40s anymore. Most of us are in our 60s and 70s and Aloma and I and several others are in our 80s. Our friends say it’s getting too hard to pack and drive for four to six hours.
But Corolla is more than a vacation. When the mild North Carolina winter ends and the Dafadils and Crocus bloom, we know that Spring is here and we will leave soon for Corolla. We will see friends and enjoy walking on the beach and watching the ocean from our room
. COROLLTime is a season as much as spring or fall.
Aloma and I have decided that if any number of couples want to go, next year, we’re in. We can rent a smaller house or even stay in a motel and eat our meals out.
COROLLTime Time is a season between spring and summer. We don’t want to disturb the rhythm of the seasons.
PS Midweek: the group decided this morning to reserve the same house for next year
The season of COROLLA TIME is safe. We will return next year. YEAH
