Ned, the manager of my condo building here in Denver, came up to our unit the other day to check out the repairs being done in the kitchen after a leak was discovered behind the wall there. He asked about our time in Stuart, Florida, and Susan told him how much she loved it there, and how much she loves walking down to the St. Lucie River to sit and watch the boats pass by and to go to Stuart Beach each day. She also mentioned how disappointed she was that I threw away her boogie board, which she used to float out in the ocean on. Of course, that was 15 years ago, when we began renting the condo out after our mother Mary died, but some people have long memories. I have offered to buy her a new one at Walmart and help launch her out to sea, but she keeps putting me off. In any case, I took the photograph above of Susan and my mother Mary at Stuart Beach back in August of 1996, just before Susan started another one of her boogie board adventures.
