Seaside in Dallas News

[DD]

And as many of you that know me has heard my story of coming to Seagrove in the early 60's with my parents - staying in a small cottage on Camilla - and they paid their friends $5 a night!!

There was NO Seaside then!!!

What a wonderful memory!:clap_1: I would have loved to have come down there back in those days!!

The first memory I have in life was, believe it or not, as a baby lying in a crib at the beach. My folks were renting an old beach cottage at Seagrove. There was a big storm and the power went out. Before we lost power, I remember looking at white paint dribbles on the window panes and thinking, "Ghosts!" Then the power was lost and I began to cry. My Dad came in and struck a match over my crib to make sure all was well. I can still remember the flash of that match, the smell of sulphur, and hearing the thunder and lightning and the rain coming down.

Oh, yeah...we weren't at Seaside! :funn:
