So...

I quit blogging for a while. It was a very full and also unusual year in my life last year. My sister got married on July 1st, so I was busy helping her plan and get ready, and also planning a shower for her. Then in August, we transitioned Connor to living with her...or we thought we did. It turned out he had to come back and live with John and me again for a while after the first transition. So then in October, there was a second transition. Getting used to living without him has been hard. And for several months (during the first transition, and immediately after the second and final one), it seemed like I was off the island more than I was on it.

Anyway, something had to give. That something was blogging.

I've actually sort of enjoyed the break, so I'm not sure yet whether I'm coming back to blogging or not. I strongly suspect it will not be daily ever again. Maybe I'll rename the blog. Maybe not.

Easter services

In case you are on the island for the Easter weekend, here's the schedule of planned services for Sunday:
- Sunrise Service - 6 AM, Lifeguard Beach
- United Methodist Church - 11 AM Service
- Assembly of God Church - 11 AM Service

Happy Easter!

Toni was smarter than they thought...

My Mom and I attended the final performance of "We Must Kill Toni" today, and it was terrific! The cast was made up of 5 Ocracoke School students, all of whom did a great job and had many lines to memorize. The set was amazing...the Community Center was completely transformed! Oh, and don't worry...they didn't kill Toni. She was a smart cookie.

Breakfast with a bunny?

Does this sound like fun or what? I may have to take Connor.

New menu

I didn't get to go to the Cafe Atlantic's first open night of the season as I was off the island all day today (left on the 7 AM ferry, came home on the 10 PM...no wonder I'm tired!) But I did get to see their new menu thanks to the wonders of technology (it was posted on facebook). There weren't any major changes that I noticed. I'm looking forward to going to check it out in person as soon as I can.
