I am a great fan of sunrises. That must be why I chose the North Carolina coast to retire to.
It may not be fair play but all I have to do is to call my grandkids and remind them that Grandpa Neil has an ocean. It saves me a lot of travel time and money.
Each time the three of them come I have to take them each individually for a sunrise. this creates wonderful bonds and individual time helps each one to feel special.
I call it Magic!
