| Prompt: Words Use these words in your Blog entry today: Shopping, Lake, Note, Picnic, Lighthouse, Beach Have fun. ----------- These words reminded me of the time, more than forty years ago, when we took our sons to visit the lighthouse at Montauk point, at the end of Long Island, NY. The funny thing is, they weren't impressed at all. "There's nothing here!" one remarked. The other said, "I thought we were going to a restaurant. When are we going to eat?" My husband said, "But this is a very important visit..." and he went on to explain about the shipwrecks and how the lighthouses helped the sailors. "But ships don't need this anymore! Ships have radars," the wise Alec older one said. "They are going to turn this place into a museum," I said. "Oh, that's okay, then!" I still can't figure it out why the word museum somehow made a stronger impression on them.  In fact, the Montauk lighthouse was turned into a museum in 1987, just a few years after we were there, and I still don't know why my sons preferred a museum over the lighthouse itself. At Montauk Point Beyond the cliffs, a *beach lies there, where the *lighthouse stands at the edge of the bay. and breezes play for this beacon tall, where ocean dreams and lets its waves fall on history sleeping, and a *picnic spread on a blanket near, with memories sweet, moments dear then, near a *lake not far inland, a town is built by cool hands where small shops in rows can invite *shopping strolls into the night. Yet, I only take *note of sailors' tales and letters they wrote, on such choppy seas of lore, as treasures for me to adore. |
