Sometimes looking back can be a mixed bag of good memories, and those not so good. I remember my dad didn’t like to talk about the past– until he was much older, and I think it was that life was just that hard, back then. He preferred looking forward to new innovations, new folks moving in, new crops to try. I think our annual Thanksgiving season gives us all a good and ‘safe’ vantage point from which to look back, because we can be grateful for the good that has come out of even those hard seasons. We can see the family strengths that have shown through, and the Cove legacies passed on.
My family and I are talking about ways to encourage a collective sharing of memories for another published peek into Indian Cove’s past. You will be hearing more from us on this. Take another look back, and jot down what appears in your rearview mirror.
