Her mother's family had the cottage at Breezy Point and so a family tradition of summers at the beach began. Sadly the cottage burned to the ground in Hurricane Sandy (2012). That was long after the family gave it up, sometime in the late 1970's as I recall.<br />Cheers!<br />AprilApril Hoellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06009538299533789189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8360342764276923619.post-81290942107322159432018-04-03T13:05:10.469-04:002018-04-03T13:05:10.469-04:00Thank you, Marcy.

It was a part of me. During my 20's & 30's, living in Florida, I spent a lot of time on the beach, especially with my children. Now, much older, I like to listen to the waves and seagulls, watch the pelicans and see the moon reflecting on the water's surface. But I'm no longer a fan of the salt & sand.
