I took the photograph above of my sister Susan and mother Mary at Stuart Beach, located on Hutchinson Island here in Florida, back in August of 1995, almost 30 years ago. Things definitely change over 30 years. After my mother passed away in 2009, we rented her condo out until just last year, when we took it back from our renters, and now spend part of the year here. The photograph shows Susan after a refreshing dip in the ocean on her boogie board, which I threw away when we started renting the place. She keeps bringing that up, and I have, of course, offered to take her to Walmart and buy her another one. Not only that, but I also told her I would be sure to personally launch her out to sea, and that boogie boarding is now very popular with octogenarians, but she keeps putting me off. I wonder why?
