I LOVE lighthouses. I may have gone overboard in an earlier phase of life with lighthouse figurines lining the mantle and book shelves. My husband and I have searched out lighthouses on both coasts and great lakes. I never tire of the feeling I get standing close to one. I'm glad you've felt that feeling!❤️. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃😊
As always, your essays are like a lighthouse leading us all home. I’m visiting my lovely son and his delightful wife in Tacoma right now, making the slog from alarmist specialist to more alarmist specialist about some scary medical stuff I’m having. Like many lost at sea, I needed a lighthouse tonight. Thank you Amy.
Awww Susan -- you're always so supportive, and thank you. I hope you still have my email address ... in case you want to get in touch. (I'm holding out fresh hope for your health.)
I’m so you got to visit Portland Head and Merrill Auditorium. I’m sorry I missed the taping! How is it I read 3 daily newspapers and didn’t know Wait, Wait was coming to town. My son is a professional photographer and the Portland Head Light is the most popular location that engagement and wedding couples choose for photos.
Lived in New Jersey briefly at age four and do have memories of the Atlantic Ocean and climbing slowly with my patient Dad up Barnegat Lighthouse with my little legs. I LOVE learning from “strangers” about their areas!
I love lighthouses and have visited several here on the west coast. More importantly, your commentary at times for me is a lighthouse, bringing me home when I need it most. Thank you!
I've gotta remember to ask more strangers what to do in their towns.
I'm happy by how often this yields great responses.

I don't think it's possible to really "go overboard" regarding lighthouses. I now have lighthouse-fever!

Thank you. Fresh hope is good!
I love lighthouses and have climbed to the top of one at Port Isabel Texas. A stunning sight. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
What a fun story! I have climbed to the top of historic Split Rock Lighthouse on Lake Superior twice and it never gets old.
Your writing always lifts me up! ❤️
Thank you, Elise. I really appreciate it.
I love this adventure! I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
It was FANTASTIC!! Sending hugs to you ...
Lovely story!!
Climbing lighthouses is one of my favorite things to do on vacation.
My husband and I climbed up 2 in Mendocino, Ca during a trip in May.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your lovely family.

I'm so sorry you missed us! The show was so popular that we taped for TWO NIGHTS.
But we'll be back ....
Thank you for the little light, Amy. It seems the world is a very dark place lately, and I so appreciate your caring words. Happy Thanksgiving!
