Here it is 4th of July week
and
I am deep in thought planning a summer vacation
I confess that I have not booked flights
or made hotel reservations…
In fact, I am having a hard time finding a weekend between
now and August school start that isn't already promised
to lacrosse games, baseball season end parties or overnights with friends.
I will not go another summer without a trip to the water
somewhere….
Back east…near the coast
Where the boys can get sand in their toes,
feel the sun and the sea on their faces,
listen to the tides roll in and roll out,
gaze at the sun disappearing behind the marshes,
smell the wood burning from a beach bonfire and
bask in the sweet ambience of summer.
I am thinking of upstate New York
the state where I was born
This rental "cottage" on Schooner Island
in Alexandria Bay
looks perfect
This is where you will find me soon
