Growing Up on the Beach Will Never Be the Same

Image
Corpus Christi Skyline The Sparkling City by the Sea I grew up in a beach town. In the 50's...when we had to rely on my mother to drive us out to the beach...and then into the 60's...when we had our own cars, and hit Port Aransas and the Big Shell and all those spots in between....the beach....where we danced the night away smoking our first pot at the Dunes in Port A...across from Horace Caldwell Pier...the longest on the coast. Sit out there on the end all night long, fishing, talking, growing up...taking the fish to the Island Food store, grabbing pork&beans in the can, and talking the breakfast cook at the dock into frying up that fish...beans, fresh bread, and fried fish...omy, I can taste it now. It's the water, you know...the WATER...I'm supposed to be able to verbalize my faith, that's what I'm told...all I can tell you is that it's the water, it comes in every day, the tides rise and fall...the gulls call and coo, and the sun makes it sparkle..
