I am bitter with envy. Damn you, Liza! But what a uniquely great place for you to meld new feelings and impressions with others that go back as far as you yourself do. I don't have a place like that, and I think most of us don't. I've been lucky in other ways, though, so I'll try to get my envy in check eventually.

Sorry, Chuck. But I am very aware of how fortunate I am, it's true. It's a great observation you give me, how my cousins and I share this--particularly my one cousin Cap, with whom I share a great grandfather. we love to talk family history, and this place holds many stories. It's comforting and informing.

What a haven! Enjoy the magic there.

(Knew some tough cookie aunts myself and never doubted their love for one minute.)

True, right? Those aunts. They shape us, I think.

Little more brevity in the caption would make this one a real winner! “Sometimes, it’s not about the fries.” Anyone who’s ever been to beach with food and seagulls would get it! That, forgive my suggestion. I’m no less a fan. (Just an incessant editor.)

Good point, Patrick. I think I felt the caption was too long, but didn't work on it. Good call!!
