For my mother, the happiness of our annual early summer trip to Ogunquit in Southern Maine meant those little pleasures one can expect to find in that lovely coastal village: the sea, the Marginal Way, the Sparhawk oceanfront balcony, the bench under the green fabric awning (now blue!) facing the beach near the Norseman Hotel, her crossword puzzles and her mystery novel. Each and everytime I would leave her to walk the beach, I would ask her: \u201cAre you sure you\u2019re OK? You won\u2019t be bored?\u201d She would burst out laughing and say: \u201cNo worries! I have my crossword puzzles!\u201d<\/p>\n
