It's unfortunate, but some people are just plain mean. Mean of heart, mean of spirit...mean. There are other words to describe these sad souls, but I won't belittle myself by invoking them here. The reality is that these folks have been this way for as long as I can recall, and they've passed along this bullying soul to their progeny. A vicious circle indeed.
We have finally decided to put the Camano property on the market. It's been a long time coming, and not an easy decision to make. Once made, however, it's been re-inforced on more occasions than i can count.
This property has been in the family for more years than I've been around...passed down from generation to generation. Most of the property on this particular beach is like that. Folks just keep it in the family. So, the fact that we are selling is a bit of a novelty there.
It's a nice place with a lot of fond memories from the past. Lazy summer days spent running around the beach looking at tide pools and climbing on rocks. Swimming in Puget Sound (only a kid would do that, lol, and we did). Mom stayed on the beach or in the boat - watching us, but wondering whether or not our brains were freezing along with the rest of us. You see, on a good day, it's only about 50 degrees in Puget Sound...now, I don't even enjoy going in that water in full wetsuit and mask...
Now, however, the meanness seems to overtake the place. Many of the older folks that are there - and were old when we were kids, lol - just don't have the fight in them any more to protest it. I guess it's our turn when it comes to the nasty folk of the beach. We are doing it - regretfully, as we don't think that neighbors (or anyone, for that matter) should spend so much time being so incredibly nasty - but it's not our call.
Our attorney thinks that things will turn out our way just fine. It's just a matter of time and money...isn't it always?
For now, though, we'll battle the big meanie, and get her to behave (for a bit), and then we'll be gone from there.
Hopefully, the next people there will be able to find the happiness we had those long ago summer days...
