Sand dunes stretching for miles and miles along the Atlantic Ocean. Walking down the hill to the beach early in the morning. Shell treasures in her pockets. Library books checked out for the summer. Saltwater waves. Wet bathing suits on the clothesline. The keeper's house at Nauset Light. Her Father's stories of how the lighthouses guided sailors lost at sea.
In her mind, the view to the ocean out the beach house kitchen window mingled with early childhood memories of summer vacations on Cape Cod.
Griff's stories of childhood summer vacations with his Mother and Father. On the slopes of the Rocky Mountains near Lake Louise. Canada. How clear the water was. How in Seattle he fell in love with the Pacific Ocean. Looking out to sea from the Mukilteo Lighthouse.
