The stars are bright.
The moon is full.
Little waves lap against the shore
as the night beach approaches hightide.
Ever spend a night on the beach? The moon, the stars, the waves, the moon setting, the stars fading, sun rising through a rosy dawn over the sea.

We were college students. You do crazy things when you are in college. It’s one of the reasons college age kids want to go to a college in a state far from home. This story is more sedate, we both went to a college within 15 miles from home.
She was a guest at our summer cottage. We, “I” decided we’d hike to a remote beach to watch the sun come up. It was June, not quite summer, close though. We got up at 4, hiked our mile long beach, climbed the cliffs, followed the farmer’s tractor path along the cliff’s edge to cove number one, then cove number two. We sat on the remote beach to watch the sun come up.
It was a long wait. The stars were still out. We had on heavy wool sweaters. The night dew gathered on the surface of our sweaters, the same dew that gathers on the lawn grass. My recollection is it took forever for the sun to rise. It seemed cold….it was cold. She was a good sport. When the stars retreated and the sun finally broke the horizon, we were relieved. Would 40-somethings go to a far shore to watch sunrise? Never! That’s what we have college students for.
Following the dramatic sunrise we went back to the cottage and had scrambled eggs, English muffins, and orange juice with the family. – R.H.P.

Our extended ninety days, for a small business, is almost unheard of. Truth is, we shop for gifts too, and rather than scrambling at the last minute and feeling the tension of time, we like this more relaxed approach. We wish everyone did something like this… it would be a kinder, gentler world.
