Edisto Island is known for her amazing sunrises and sunsets. It's laid back, timeless, vibe makes it the perfect place to host family and friends. Ken and Linda Moore (friends from Ohio), Don and Val Pate (family from Virginia), our son in law and oldest granddaughter from Indiana, all visited during our first three weeks here.
Our two bedroom condo in WYNDHAM OCEAN RIDGE was filled with memories of days gone by and a mixture of laughs and groans as we played games. (which by the way were, as usual, won primarily by Sherry)
Walks on the beach, meals at Waterfront (all you can eat boiled shrimp), Whaleys, and Sea Cow, along with outings to Botnay Bay, were enjoyed by all.
This slow paced, beautiful island continues to call us back and we've accepted that call since 1984.
REFLECTIONS
Ever feel trapped and at a dead end with no outlet? It's not a fun place to be!
This year there is a new tidal pool on the beach just below our deck. When the tide comes in, it is filled to the brim. When the tide goes out, it's level drops but it never empties. Schools of small fish thinking, at high tide, that it's the ocean swim in and are stranded when the tide goes fully out. For them, it literally becomes a "dead" end with no exit.
The egrets and seagulls now have a seafood smorgasbord for their culinary pleasure. When tide goes out...they come in. Good for them, not so much for the panicked fish.
Sometimes we, too, follow the "school" into dangerous waters. At first, all looks normal and good but before we know it we find that we are trapped in a place we never intended to be. Simply put, choices have consequences. Be careful who you follow and, if you make a poor choice, get out before it's too late.
