Undated, Summer 1968?
Grandmom, my brother and I. Beach Haven, Long Beach Island, NJ. Grandmom often minded "the boys" when we were at the beach. Ironically, my brothers and I could all swim better then she could - in fact, I never saw my Grandmother wear a swimsuit or swim. The "boys" sure didn't mind that - and we sure looked forward to her fresh fried eggplant and flounder dinners.
Dated October, 2003?
My Nephew and I. Beach Haven Bay, Long Beach Island. It is windy and cold but it is Blue Crab season. Here you see one of my two nephews "manning the helm" of the Skimmer as I man the bridge. We caught no crabs but enjoyed pulling in a bunch of sufficiently gross seaweed to play with.
Undated
The Skimmer in port. Beach Haven, Long Beach Island, NJ. The Skimmer went between Beach Haven, NJ and Oxford, MD a number of times. It is now in Chestertown, MD next to the houseboat.

Love the pics. Your nephew looks a bit chilly but you stand there in a short sleeved shirt. :)
It is awesome that you have such fond memories of your grandma. I never knew either of my grandpa's but my both of my grandmas's were very special to me. It is because of them that I spend so much time with my grandchildren. Life is too short not too!
I was really close to the one gramma of mine as well. Been a little over a year since she had that last shot of scotch and headed home. I miss her.
Looks like a wonderful day with the nephew.
