Last night I received a voice message that completely surprised me! It was from one of the organizers of the Firehouse Art Gallery in Milford, CT. She notified me that my piece "Beach Bound" received second prize in the current show "Favorite Things or Favorite Places" ! What wonderful news! Dean and I dropped off to pieces to the show yesterday around noon and the judging must have taken place shortly after the 4:oopm deadline.

The scene is from Milford CT coast. The roads are Bayshore Drive and Westland Ave. My dad and step mom would rent a house each summer a few streets away on Warren Street. Each time we'd visit , I'd glance down the side streets to see if I could get a glimpse of the water. The closer we'd get the greater our senses heightened - the air smelled salter, the colors seemed brighter and the excitement rose knowing that in a few minutes we would have our toes in the sand - Beach bound we were!
