Chicken Soup For The Beach Lover's Soul (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
Ralph W. Sockman My beach boys have come to my home at the shore for a visit. Grandson Ben is six years old, Jake nine. Both understand that they are coming to a special place and life will change dramatically because they are here. There will be a lot of sitting in rocking chairs, telling stories, not rushing about, and hours at the beach. They wave to me from the porch and their faces glisten with anticipation. “Is it time to go to the beach?” Ben asks. It doesn’t matter if it’s summer and the town is filled with tourists, or winter and filled with snow. Ben asks the question anyway. For he knows four blocks up, it’s waiting. Like a promise never broken—his friend, the ocean, greets him with another friend: tons of sand. And perhaps even the little-boy friend he met a few months ago, running across the beach. Ben already holds his bucket and shovel. He is ready for another shore adventure. My grandsons have been beach boys since they were born. In the warm weather, as soon as we approach the boardwalk, they take off their socks and shoes for they realize the beach expects such changes.
