The funny thing about going to Chincoteague in the Autumn, Winter and Spring is that I probably won’t be spending much time there in the summer.

And going in the other seasons is beautiful, but I need to go with someone who isn’t so difficult to talk into a couple of fun diversions rather than just WORK< WORK< WORK!   My dear husband is great for getting stuff done, but not much for going to the beach or even out for a seafood dinner.

So, when I was scanning Robin’s photos of her garden, I ran into some from Chincoteague and it started all kinds of memories of time spent there with her.

Robin and I always had a good time- no matter what we were doing.  Jobs became times of good fellowship, long car trips were spent in planning and speculating on what we could do in the future and marathon prayer sessions, and when we  got together to plan or organize an event, the brainstorming discussions  were exciting.  But when we were on vacation- everything just was easy.  Times and outings and adventures flowed.  No problems, no disagreements- just acceptance and compromise and good times.  Looking at these pictures brought back that special time in that special place- and I was looking at Chincoteague with new/old eyes.

I thought you might enjoy seeing the island rather than just the house.

Enjoy!

The first two pictures were Robin’s – I didn’t scan in as many as I thought.

The last three are from last summer- before Meredith bought the house.

Just a little taste of the island this June 11, 2010.

Happy thoughts.
