My grandfather loved his visits to your parents' Door County home.
I remember one trip when he and my mom drove up, and I followed a few days later. I pulled up in the driveway and saw him sitting on a rock near the beach. He was in his late 80's by then and used a cane, which he had placed on the ground next to him. I have no idea how he managed it. I walked over to say hello and chat. I asked him how his visit was going so far and he said "I like to sit on the beach and hear the lake praying."
I have a photo of your Dad and Grandfather that I had planned to post as part of the "Sunday Paper" series. It captures a moment similar to the one you describe. I'll send it to you now.

It's one of my favorite Door County memories.
What a lovely memory.
