LOL. Raine, you’re a woman after my own heart. I was watching The One on TV & becoming more & more PO’ed every second. My 18 yo son walked in the room. I turned to look at him and he said “Sorry, mom.” Me..”Sorry for what?”...Son...”I don’t know. You were giving me The Look.” You have the clenched teeth; I have the slightly jutting lower jaw. Silences everyone in the room.
We’re going to Avon also. My parents are having a reunion of friends at their house in Rodanthe and it just so happened to coincide with our vacation schedule. We’ve never stayed in Avon before but I’m looking forward to NOT having to drive 20 miles to the grocery store. :)
Back in the early 80's we used to camp in Rodanthe. Later my parents bought a house there. So much has changed over the years. Fortunately Lisa's Pizza is still there in Rodanthe. We're headed down the 1st week of August. I can't wait.
I assume that little girl's parents were right there with her. I've been pulled out by the undertow quite a few times. I hope a parent wouldn't let a little one play in the surf alone.
That is so beyond disgusting. I’m sorry you and your wife were forced to suffer such indignities. I commend you for your self-control. I imagine it was horrific for you to observe what was going on. These people are sadists.
I would like to thank Fr. Longenecker for his words of wisdom. Something everyone needs to remember in this age of instant media and the cult of celebrity going full force.
