Having grown up in a family of five children, we never lacked for playmates. Our neighbors were like family, and children often gathered at each other’s homes.
My wife and I (and our dog) took our vacation in January and February, when we drove cross-country. Why those two months? My wife retired the first of the year, so the trip was in part a celebration of her newfound freedom. She now calls herself a Lady of Leisure.
I can’t think of a more delicious summertime treat than a piece of truly fresh fish, grilled to perfection—not overdone and flaky, but moist, flavorful and still tasting of the sea.
