Quote: He was too simple to wonder when he had attained humility. But he knew he had attained it and he knew it was not disgraceful and it carried no loss of true pride. Ernest Hemingway/The Old Man and the Sea

Sights like this always humble me--make me know there is a power greater than myself and that I must be true to the passions in my life.

Today we said good-bye to one of Surf City's original kids. We all grew up together in the 50s and 60s and 70s, when the island was a real paradise. 

TY-truly one of a kind-thank you for the horse back rides and the rides down the snow covered dunes in the sea turtle shell. Thank you for your individuality and tenacity. Thank you for being you-a good friend, a wonderful husband, father and grandfather. You are missed. Ty Medlin.

Quote: It was considered a virtue not to talk unnecessarily at sea--Ernest Hemingway.

Yes. Sometimes there are no words.
