We arrived on July 9, 2023 and are ready to leave three weeks later.
It is a wonderful place and we stayed in Duck in the same house we have been in for several years.
The weather was great and the pool was very refreshing. We went to dinner at the Paper Canoe and The Collingwood Cafe – both excellent restaurants.

My Running Path – ran this path with Paul.
I ran four miles daily except Sundays early in the morning before it got too hot!

We had a great time – lounging in the pool visiting our friends and a visit from Paul and Gretchen.
God has richly blessed us! Praise him!
Thank you for reading my blog!
Looks like you had a great time again this year!
The pics are really nice and tells the story beautifully 😊
