I have been thinking about life lately, perhaps because we have lost so many talented people who have entertained us.
It seems like just yesterday, I was climbing the jetties at Surf Drive Beach. Many people liked to lie in the sand and soak up the sun. However, as a child, I could never sit still.
We had picnics at the beach, eating somewhat sandy peanut butter and fluff sandwiches. It didn’t matter. Looking back, it was the best.
Imagine living in paradise and not even knowing this. So was my childhood growing up on Cape Cod.
All summer, I went around in bathing suits and bare feet.
Of course, back in the 1960s, I could ride my Schwinn bicycle all around town without worrying anyone.
Dairy Queen treats and trips to Elsie’s Restaurant, where she served the best German food!
Life was simple and carefree, and today, as I am living out the final decades of my life, I appreciate that time even more.
