A large lake and an ocean are the best. The rolling waves and the sound of the water are the most relaxing thing I can think of at the moment.

I wonder if the big waters call all of us in one way or another throughout our lives, even when we aren't near them.

I know Maddox Cove, have been there and to Petty Harbour many times, I like the area and the views of the ocean.Shammickitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11969803866899076638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293097948980376506.post-53412408026383460512016-07-26T08:42:55.642-07:002016-07-26T08:42:55.642-07:00Roaring surf...I haven't heard it in years.
