My wife had been trying to talk me into buying a summer home in Ogunquit, Maine for as long as I can remember. Well, as it turns out her good friend’s parents have a place there and last summer she invited us to visit them with her. I agreed, but have to admit it was with hesitation because I was worried the trip might further progress this madness that seemed to be developing in Sarah. As I mentioned before she seemed to have always wanted to get a home there but the desire was growing in her and it began to be a standard topic of conversation. Maybe not a full conversation, as I generally tried to change the subject before an actual conversation could develop.
However, almost as soon as we arrived in Ogunquit, I was completely enchanted and found the entire area to be absolutely beautiful. My wife had a great time of course and she and her friend went off together. I’m not sure what all they did, probably shopped. I spent my time down along the Ogunquit River and found such a peace of mind that reminded me of my carefree college days. I could definitely see myself learning the fine art of deep-sea fishing along here in the summer.
Just as I had imagined my wife had been out shopping all day but the most interesting thing she brought home was information on the Ogunquit Playhouse. I have always loved life performances and this seemed like a great little place. That night I had to confess to my wife that I was convinced that this was the perfect place for us to have a summer home and maybe even plan our retirement. Sarah grinned her knowing smile and told me that she knew all I had to do was visit the place and I would fall in love. Next summer we’re going to stay in one of the local Ogunquit hotels and try and pick out a potential place to buy.
