For many years when I was a child, we vacationed at Myrtle Beach. I remember being very happy there, enjoying the family and whatever friends happened to join us. It seems to me that mom and dad were especially happy there. I remember one time that mom, dad and I (and maybe Troy) pulled the seine net in knee deep mud to catch shrimp. I'm sure it was awful in its own way, but all I remember is us laughing when we got stuck in the mud, or fell over, or got excited to see the shrimp in the net. Another time, I remember family laughter when Troy was catching the she crabs that two women on the beach were throwing back and they got upset with him. He couldn't understand why they were upset. He was so excited to catch so many crabs so quickly!
