I am a child of the beach.  My grandfather was a lumberman and he owned property all over Bruce Peninsula.  Sauble Beach was a favourite place.  His foresight allowed his children to all have property and my mother and her twin chose this spot on Lake Huron.  Their elder sister had a cottage only a stone’s throw away.  The three sisters spent many happy hours at their cottages and so did their children and grandchildren.  Since I was a child born to middle aged parents and my brothers had flown the coop, I especially benefited from the arrangements. I spent the entire summers at Sauble.  As a result,  I have always needed the water to balance myself and when I dip into those blue-green waves, I feel refreshed.  My feet are in that water, in that place, as of Easter weekend and all the way to Thanksgiving, (sometimes, Remembrance Day, on a good year).  Sometimes there is even ice, but it doesn’t really matter.  I need to feel the sand between my warped toes and the water around me.  My grandfather left a fantastic legacy!
