I found some for my Kindle...and they're free. :)<br /><br />I've been to the east coast one time...I was nine...loved it.<br /><br />But the beach I grew up with was Lake Michigan. There's nothing like watching the sunset from a Lake Michigan sand dune. Of course, eating a S'more at the same time just sweetens the deal!<br /><br />And the Misty books I grew up with are the same as yours, Julie. My copies are currently in storage (climate controlled) until I get my office back.<br /><br />Have a good weekend, everybody!Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-76938583232124735862013-07-13T20:54:57.040-04:002013-07-13T20:54:57.040-04:00Doesn't that sound perfect?

I read Cherry Ames and Nancy Drew, and all the dog stories of Albert Payson Terhune.<br /><br />I don't remember doing much of excitement as a child on holidays. My parents took me camping and into a wilderness area where later they bought property on a lake for a cabin. It was my early years of marriage where we spent every July on an island in the PNW... sometimes we staying in a rough wee cabin, but most times parking our trailer under a tree within spitting distance of the seashore. I remember picking blackberries from along the sides of the lane that led into the property, and I'd make muffins and blackberry crumbles in either the cabin's cranky woodstove or the very tiny trailer oven. Some days I'd spend most of the day painting, with my easel set up on the shale of the shore, and only stopping to grab crackers, cheese and fruit when the children complained about no lunch.

How did I not know there were books that accompanied The Partridge Family??? My mother is going to have some explaining to do!<br /><br />Chincoteague. I was trying to get hubby to go there on vacation with me. I've never been but always wanted to go. He says no, too hot. Hmmmm, Julie. Road trip? I'll bring blueberry pie. :)<br /><br />Ohhh, and we can eat crab cakes along the way. Nothing says summer to me like a Friday dinner with seafood and chilled white wine.<br /><br />My summer memories have a weird twist. I grew up on Long Island less than 5 miles from the the ocean.<br />I LOVE the ocean. Nothing fills me with peace the way the sound of waves do. The feel of sand and salt water - pure bliss.<br /><br />So what did my parents do?<br /><br />They bought a lake house in the Poconos. So every summer I was dragged AWAY from my beloved ocean to go sit on a dock by a lake where you swam and things slithered against your legs.<br /><br />I know. Pity me. Okay, it was a summer house, but why didn't they buy it by the ocean. Yeah, price. Sometimes I think the only reason I want to sell books is to be able to afford to summer by the ocean.<br /><br /><br /><br />Mary Curryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04173540875518117671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-5243390480571796452013-07-13T16:34:19.327-04:002013-07-13T16:34:19.327-04:00I love all of these things in your post Julie.
