My Grandmother Carpenter lived in Cape Cod. The only time we ever went there it was winter, but we walked on the beach anyway.
While we were there I tried to get my uncle to teach me how to make that loud kind of whistle sound that you can make by putting two fingers in your mouth.
My Grandmother Carpenter told us: Young ladies do not put their fingers in their mouths. I asked my uncle to teach me how to spit instead.
Later I learned that The Cape, as they call it, is a narrow spit of land.
I do not have a photograph of my Grandmother Carpenter. If I did, I would insert it here.
