This memory I will share with you.....

The Ocean House - Watch Hill

“It seems as memories of days gone by find us at turns in our lives when we least expect them. This magnificent charmer found it's way back into my heart and scurried up fond memories through you my very dear friend.

I had not thought of the days long gone when life seemed effortless and simpler. My children were small when first we met this charming lady...alight in all her finery...glowing like a beam of sunrays against a blue and peaceful sea.

My fondest memory which will always be preserved is sunset...a time when the sky appears to be showing the world her pageantry and life. As we sat each evening on the porch basking in the final rays of summer light, aromas coming from each pore of this great Goliath.encased us...coupled with salt and sea the smell of my children's hair as they lay against my chest...feet swinging in the breeze as if to some distant melody that only they could hear and this rare and precious moment consumed my senses.

I can remember writing post cards to family in the writing room and the giggles from my children as we told of our adventures....a time that time cannot replace....but tucks these precious memories in secluded attics of our minds to be dusted off and felt and treasured again in another place and time!

I do hope that this will bring you joy! For it is joy for life that brings us peace!”
