I, too, am a Quaker; our Meeting (Brunswick Monthly, Falmouth Quarterly, New England Yearly) used to sponsor children from the inner city, and I oftentimes had kids staying on the farm in the summertime.

We went to Nags Head every year on vacation and my mother tried very hard to get my grandparents to come with us but they both died never having seen nor smelled nor tasted the ocean waters.NCmountainwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615765649828716560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999463332198347326.post-4481194472918939002016-03-14T13:40:44.800-04:002016-03-14T13:40:44.800-04:00What happy, animated photos and a lovely memory.What happy, animated photos and a lovely memory.Little Nellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862657943846727987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999463332198347326.post-75304074060973621732016-03-14T09:52:41.336-04:002016-03-14T09:52:41.336-04:00I'm glad I took these pictures so I'd reme...I'm glad I took these pictures so I'd remember the event.Barbara Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351113054045427775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999463332198347326.post-71971202374106317972016-03-14T09:51:36.486-04:002016-03-14T09:51:36.486-04:00I was not on computer moderating comments when the...I was not on computer moderating comments when the first one came.
