Misty-Eyed

I just checked out my latest read: Misty of Chincoteague from the library. Yes, it's the children's book...and no, I've never read it.

I'm reading it now in preparation of my upcoming trip to Chincoteague Island in October. It'll be my first time there, and I'll be there as part of an Elder Hostel service program.  The group of us will be tending to handicapped paths, building boxes for birds & fox squirrels, and mending pony fences. Of course, there'll be time for photo taking and seeing the town too. 

I'm excited at the thought of spending the week contributing - giving something to the ponies and the place - and having the experience become a part of my history.

This sounds like a wonderful trip. I've never seen the ponies run. But I loved the book. :-)
