Mathews County

Oh my gosh. I am so glad to be back ya’ll. Once, a couple of weeks back, I jokingly said that getting the internet out here on Gwynn’s Island has been trickier than getting hooked up in Alaska. I didn't mean it then, but boy, am I convinced now. The process has been way too lengthy. I tried a lot of companies but eventually ended up with Wild Blue. Wild Dang Blue. So slow, so expensive, so the only option.

So, we are here: 
This is our little Cape Cod. Cute ain't it?
It needs a good washing and some plants and gosh somebody really needs to take those Christmas lights down. Oh wait. Somebody did. It was me. Annnddd, we don't have a ladder. So I slid my body out that window all Russian spy-like (I don't know why it has to be a Russian spy) and ripped them down.
I was scared.
And I was ashamed to be scared.
I didn't used to be scared of nothin'.
(My Mom is rolling her eyes at my grammar right now, guar-UN-teed.)

Anyways, we can see the Chesapeake Bay from our driveway!
Granted, it's only a sliver and the access is all privately owned but still, it's the CHESAPEAKE BAY YA'LL! The stuff of Nora Roberts' novels. I'm practically famous now. 

We can hear the waves crashing on the beach from our back porch!
It's coastal around here, but feels wooded and green at same time.

So, a couple of weeks ago, we took a trip to Haven Beach. 
It's a public beach in Mathews County. 
It was only a 10 minute drive from the house. 
Here's what we found there...

    Your house is BEAUTIFUL! I love that style. And close to the beach too. Ahhhh... reminds me of our years in NC, GA, and FL. We spent a lot of time at the coast. Miss it a bit.

    The photos are wonderful. Glad you're back online.
