The Sugar Shack is real enough, but it is not a cold-weather place. Predictions are for 27 degrees tonight. The North wind will be whipping up Perdido Bay and in through the cracks in that 1947-vintage cottage. Like some relationships, it shows its best side in balmy weather - picnic basket, sunsets and boiled shrimp on the dock weather.
Buck and I talk about selling it. We got it ready to put on the market. Waterfront hideaways have buyers even in a bad market, but we haven’t called a real estate agent, yet. Now it’s too cold. Not a good time to show the old place. And when spring comes, the sheer romance of it will most likely get to us again, and we’ll find a reason not to let it go.

I don’t blame you for hanging on to it. It’d be a real shame if you let it go before you’re truly ready.
