I am 68. It’s been 56 years since I’ve been on the Island. I spent 2 weeks every summer thanks to my Great Aunt Caroline Johnson. She had her house overlooking Oak Bluffs Harbor. She also owned one of the cottages in the Campground. I am in Kansas due to my following my then husband’s job. All these years I have only had one thing on a “Bucket List “. That was to be able to get to The Vineyard 1more time. I want to see and smell my ocean one more time. Also to walk and if possible find a way to stay in a cottage for a few days. Memories of the Community Sings in the Tabernacle, The Flying Horses and the quaint shops along the little Main Street. I remember the little candy shop and the wonderful Antique shops. I plan to subscribe to the newsletters at the end of the month when my Social Security comes in. Bless all of you who post about the Campground. I wasn’t aware of over 50 groups that gathered. I’d give anything to be there with you. I’ve even wondered what the winters were like. Again, Bless you all for sharing your thoughts and experiences on the little Facebook site. I’ve been wanting to move back to Massachusetts. 50th High School Reunion in November in Springfield. Only a year and a half late. Live your lives and know how blessed you are. My prayers are with you all. P.S. I saw the special when they saved the Gay Head Lighthouse. I wish I could have been there to help.
