[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 107121"] Growing up we had a cottage in Door County, on the water. We had a beach, dock, boat, motorcycles. We would move there when school got out and move back when school started. It was 20 miles from our home in Green Bay, so my dad drove in to work everyday. Mom didn't work. Everyone did the same who had cottages. The cottage, beach, water faced the west, so we had outstanding sunsets over the water. When we were young my brother and I thought the sun set in the water. All the kids had mini bikes, and we road the trails and private roads, took turns having bon fires at each others cottages. We swam in the big waves, and water skiied on the calm days. We still have the cottage, though most others have been knocked down and big homes built. I don't get there often. But I do live near Lake Michigan. (a few blocks) So, on stressful days I take the dogs and sit along the beach. The water brings back so many memories. My dad especially. What a special gift he gave to us. To cherish forever. Too bad growing up we didn't realize how special we were. It was often hard to leave our friends in town for a summer. But had so many others out there. So, the answer..water. Even on the stormiest days, the water is a peaceful memory. [/QUOTE]
