My mom would take all five kids up to Long Sands Beach for two weeks each summer. Dad would join us on the weekends. Over the years, we stayed at a few different cottages on Beacon Street that were owned by my mom’s aunt Evelyn who we all called “Auntie.” Our favorite was aptly named “3 Buoys” after my second (or is it third?) cousins ... a set of triplet boys. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimwgDhKlrC8N_V3pjBAzE1ZInI_s6vVyKQjB3HqEUt6q2S1oOY8-sy_rPtgJDRScZvbJnq7fVHwW4RpNOwutqUj876Zo2DZVzRaqf0W5V5eJPuPF4nixNvASP8DFb8AvV15T1KstLQ7v8/s1600-h/auntie.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364774693819334034" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimwgDhKlrC8N_V3pjBAzE1ZInI_s6vVyKQjB3HqEUt6q2S1oOY8-sy_rPtgJDRScZvbJnq7fVHwW4RpNOwutqUj876Zo2DZVzRaqf0W5V5eJPuPF4nixNvASP8DFb8AvV15T1KstLQ7v8/s320/auntie.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 236px; height: 320px;" /></a>Auntie A little over 10 years ago, my mom bought a cottage up York. We were all excited to create new family memories in our very own cottage by the sea. The fact that we could decorate as we wished was like a tidal pull ... bringing with it many “somethings for the cottage” that over time have been collected like so many shells from the beach.
