An Afternoon at the Beach

Rich & I love Short Sands Beach in York Beach, Maine.  We both grew up visiting this beach each summer - his family staying at The Union Bluff & my home only a short drive away in Portland.  I like to imagine our paths crossing one afternoon many years ago with our noses against the glass at The Goldenrod watching the taffy being pulled.  Now we love to visit late in the afternoon, just as the beach is about to empty.  We play skee ball & pinball, give our tickets to the cutest kid we can find, pet Midas the golden retriever in front of the bowling alley, then get an ice cream & a box full of taffy, & watch the surf roll in.
