I love listening to sea shells; I can't interpret what they relate to me, but their call is magical. Well penned.

I remember doing this when I was a kid. We have many lakes here in Wisconsin, but I hope to see the ocean one day... I enjoyed this wonderful write. Very enchanting, Barbara!

I haven't been on in awhile and missed much. I also haven't been to the beach in years, thanks for taking me back there. Good to read your work again, my friend. X
