As the generations play out, while we were raising our kids, the three little Scott kids living down the island would come by to bake cookies with "Aunt Ada", and swim with us on our beach. Our kids grew up and have kids of their own. Meanwhile the little Scott kids grew up, and are all in college getting degrees in math and medicine, the fields their parents have excelled in, in their own careers. To our grandkids, the Scott kids, Ana, Sarah and Peter, are the heroes that swim on our beach, jump off the dock catching frisbees, and take the time with the young ones to encourage jumping off the dock, even letting the kids bury them in the beach sand. What fun we are having! I might mention that the water is FREEZING cold! Aunt Ada, turning 75, gets the prize for being the oldest person to get in that water and swim. Not being a contender for that prize, since I am younger by three years, I didn't even try! Love, Liz
