I think about those days often, and miss them. I loved our trips to the beach - Point Lookout was our favorite, also. Dad would created a concoction of lemonade, orange juice, and pineapple juice in a red Thermos jug with a cream lid (I can still see the jug and taste the punch -- always diluted by the tons of ice he mixed in); Mom would make salami on poppy-seed rolls (I think the purpose of the poppy seeds was to camouflage the crunch of the sand). Off we'd go to the beach where Howard and I would bury Dad in sand -- not a difficult feat given that six inches of sand was usually enough to bury him completely (minus his head and his long feet which he'd wiggle through the bucketfuls of sand we'd dump on top of them) -- Robin's transistor radio crackling by her side a safe distance from the sandstorms as we tried once again to cover those size 12 feet.Judynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7465072391199760560.post-65794952013775417892011-07-05T16:45:19.523-05:002011-07-05T16:45:19.523-05:00PUNKS!
