..Oh, the days before the heavy crowds and commercialization of the shores... not even a paved road led your dad driving to your paradise! No cabanas. No food stands. Just you and your brother playing in the surf while mom and dad relaxed under an umbrella. Time to come in! Mom has lunch ready... sandwiches with a bit of grit for good measure!!

A beach walker is oblivious to a small skiff half buried in the sand, its bow in need of repair. If she would stop, oh, the stories it could tell of fun and adventure of the escapades of two youth or a grandpa and his grandson.

It is evening. Sometimes the solitude gives one time to think about things more important than just fun. As you ponder some serious subjects, you realize that as you walk, you are not alone.
