Ah! The Commons! I couldn't remember the name.
That does sound like a great trip! My family rented cottages in woods with lakefront on small mountain lakes for vacations. I remember those times fondly, playing cards with my four siblings while my parents got sloshed next door. Everyone's windows open to the screens in the evenings, sounds of human merriment rang through the woods. Now kids are glued to their electronics on vacay. I'll probably use something from those vacations for my post about my father.
Are you using prompts from the book, or making up some of them? I thought "what would you like your heirs to find in your pockets?" might be a fun prompt. Not exactly a memory, but a cool vehicle for memories to be told through.
Allow me to brag a bit, and take myself back, way back, in the process, Here are some snippets from the review I left out the bit that said our shrimp tempura was "flaccid":
Man, would I ever like to eat there!
We had similar vacations! Some of the campgrounds we stayed in around that area were wonderful. The lobstermen would bring their catch in once or twice a week. My Mom would get a huge lobster dinner with boiled potatoes and corn for $10.
"What would you like your heirs to find in your pockets?"
That would be an awesome prompt! We bought my Mom and Storyworth subscription a year ago and I just recently got a subscription for myself. Their algorithm picks your prompt for you each week but you can override that and choose from a list or make up your own.
The descriptions of those dishes made my mouth water! I'd like to eat there too! I just tried lamb ribs for the first time this past Easter. We ordered BBQ/smoked ones from Jack Stack's BBQ in Kansas City and they were delivered on ice.
