Ocean City, Maryland, Early Spring, Kites, Kites, Kites
Ocean City, MD is town on the sand barrier island known as an oceanside playground for visitors of all ages. Summer is the busy season but personal commitments brought me here during the spring. Walking north on the Ocean City boardwalk brought back so many memories. For instance, one is of the hotel where our grandmother worked during the summer months. She was a teacher during the school year but took on the role of hostess in the dining room of the Colonial Hotel during the summer. One year, I stayed with Granny for a week or so and she brought me to Ocean City while she worked. She gave me five dollars (a royal sum in those days) to go play the arcade games to my heart's content. As this memory was occupying my mind, I was brought back to current reality when I looked up to see a huge collection of kites flying in the wind. I don't recall for sure but I'll bet we did fly a kite or two in the ocean breezes but it would have been a simple diamond shaped kite with a cloth tail — not these fancy catchers of the wind.
