Such evocative lines here, Sharon. You have taken me back to the beach of my youth and set me down in the sand. I especially love these distinct images that separate the day-trippers from us locals:

"The ocean waves goodbye to summer vacation, with its sun worshipers and sandcastle architects." "...the coveted parking spot" "Now the beach is wrapped in the sharp cold of autumn, and the fog carries a bite....the locals return for the sunset". As for wrestling around in sleeping bags... I will just keep my comment to myself...

Thank you, Sharron! We were fortunate to have grown up in a beach town. I still love it!

Love it and the picture of my beloved cement ship.

Thanks, Carol! Yes, the cement ship is just a ghost of itself, now, but it was beautiful in its day.

Thank you, Sue! It's still a beautiful little town, albeit not as little as when we were growing up.

We can't wait to see you, as well! Wouldn't it be fun to get together for a bonfire on the beach? (minus the wrestling in the sleeping bags...ha ha)
