waving from the coast / by Anne Ylvisaker

Three weeks ago my family and I and all our belongings crossed Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming, Utah, and Nevada into California spring. I went from a lifetime of living on an inside piece of the jigsaw puzzle of the country to one of the outside edges. I can’t get enough of the ocean, the sea, the briny, the drink.
