Ce —— QAK HILL by Bridgette Correale Most people when re- turning from a vacation have the three S’s-suntans, snapshots and souvenirs. Most people, not The Correales. This year they added something unique, a knee-hi cast on Louis’ right’ leg. Just a little something to add more color to the mother’s hari and years to her age. Our vacation began last Saturday with a few words from Vin about all the lug- gage we were bringing to Bethany Beach, Del. Being it was early in the morning, the children more or less slept until we reached Wil- mington, Del. then the fun began. First we stopped for breakfast at a family rest- aurant where we had to wait until the chickens layed their eggs. Maybe I'm spoiled with the quick service from the Dallas’ keep three hungry child- ren, who are anxious to begin their fun and frolic, seated, let alone quiet. The next four hours were a lot of un, “He’s on my side.” “That’s my pillow’. ‘‘Take your feet out of my face.” ‘‘It’s my turn to sit by Daddy.” If that wasn’t enough, we were stuck in two traffic jams that lasted an hour each. We complain about New York and it’s traffic, but Delaware take’s first prize. Thou- sands and thousands of cars heading for the sea- shore on a two lane high- way that has a light every two blocks and in our case that light was always red. How Vin didn’t ditch us and the car is a miracle. Finally after seven hours of traveling we met my brother Jim and his family at Sea Colony where we began one of the nicest vacations I could remem- ber. The accommodations we secured was a condi- minium overlooking a beautiful landscaped court yard, a pool and the ocean. The side terrace overlooked several tennis courts and the back ter- race, a fish pond and a golf course. That alone would have been enough, but the actual apartment was heaven. When planning a vaca- tion I always say, “I want accommodations as nice as my own home or better. If not I'll stay home.” This time our apartment was better and as a woman I could keep writing about the apartment until to- MOrrow. One of the many nice things about Sea Colony, it had something for every- one, every minute of the day. Between my brother’s children and ours there were five ranging from seven years old to 16 and we only saw them when they were hungry (frequently). On Tuesday afternoon, the social director con- ducted a Junior Olympic swim contest which I'm happy to say Louis took first place in the Free Style, ages 14-16, and second place in the father- son competition, only his father was my brother, be- cause Vin wasn’t around. Then came Wednesday the B-A Day (Broken Ankle). In the four days that we were into our vaca- tion, Louis surfed, skied, golfed, played tennis, swam, everything possible until he decided to jump over the pond. Well Her- cules didn’t make it and he clinic that was about seven miles from Bethany Beach. Two doctors at this clinic advised us that he should be taken to an orthopedic man in Salisbury, Md. to have his ankle placed in a cast. Salisbury is 50 miles from where we were and that was the closest hospital. I couldn’t believe it, between Rehoboth Beach and Ocean City, a multi-million dollar resort, and people had to travel to Salisbury, Md. for a hospital. And I think Nesbitt is too far for us in the Back Mountain. We arrived in Salisbury and a specialist was on hand, so Louis was put to- gether while Vin, Jim and myself were falling apart. When we learned of Louis’ accident, we were swim- ming in the ocean, you know salt water and sand and none of us stopped to pick up clothes, so you could imagine how cute we looked walking around the hospital and the city for a drug store. Fortunately Vin thought of his wallet otherwise we probably would be still in the hospital washing bedpans. After that, Louis was the star of Sea Colony. Every- one signing his cast, girls asking if they could do anything for him, as he lounged by the pool. All I know is I could break his head, now it’s up to us to mow the lawn, vacuum the pool and deliver the Sun- day papers. So much for summer 1977 vacation. Belated greetings to Jack Thompson who cele- brated a birthday Aug. 7, to Joe Kishkill his 13th birth- day Aug. 4 and Tommy Hession his 8th, Aug. 9.
