I don't like to rail against modern
conveniences and comforts – don’t want to go back to washing dishes or clothes
by hand, or typing stories and correcting them with white-out. But I
liked it better before beach houses were air-conditioned.
Our
guest blogger Linda Given makes the case for a salty air and the sound of
surf:
My parents both grew up in New Jersey and as a result, I’ve
spent time at the Jersey Shore since I was a very young child. One of my
first distinct memories being there is of sleeping in a little bedroom under
the stairs of a rental house, with my window open, feeling the ocean breeze and
listening to the waves rolling back and forth along the shore. In the
morning, I heard seagulls and footsteps and the occasional car. Some sixty
years later I’ve just returned from a beach vacation and things have changed!
