mother grew up on the banks of the Codroy River in western Newfoundland. The original house is gone, as is the sawmill that the family ran, but the view is the same. This is the beach where boats used to pull up at the mill. It's quiet and peaceful now, a place for meditation and contemplation. The property is still in the family - there are two new houses up the hill from the water - but I can't stop wondering what life was really like for my mother and her older siblings, before she left as a teenager to find work in Montreal. - Carol
