Ah yes- memories! "Swimming lessons" and "town beach" made me smile- I think we spent every day of our growing up lives at that beach! What fun we had! Except for that freezing cold water when we had early morning lessons...!!
And that picture of Lloyd and "fire hydrants" brought back such wonderful memories of our July 4 on Nantucket with you- that was so special!
"Beaches"- oh how much I miss the ocean!! Like crazy.
Even though I did not grow up in RI, I have loved so many things and places in it for years now, and I loved the collection of names and places in the list.

Like Jenn, the "Swimming Lessons" and town beach" made me smile too! I could picture our moms sitting together - as brown as brown could be, drinking iced coffee in their low slung chairs, looking like sisters.....and all of us just running around carefree. I miss those days!
And I miss you! ~Holly~
