on the way out of the driveway for a long obx trip! We usually go in August for our anniversary but last year we started the annual Memorial Day Weekend trip b/c we were going to be out of town in August. So, we camped out at Buxton then. This year, Buxton was flooded and closed! So, we started camping on Ocracoke Island.

ash set up a weaving lesson for us where we got to pick out farbrics and weave our hearts out.
now, we are longing to have another chance to weave somewhere local.
