In my cemetery explorations, I've come upon another romantic and sad find--"lost at sea" inscribed on gravestones.<br /><br />I look forward to reading the stories in the upcoming Virginia is for Mysteries, Volume III!mysteryfictionfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15062837399807425873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-12909302427581218882020-10-05T00:55:35.836-04:002020-10-05T00:55:35.836-04:00I've lived in landlocked Kansas all my life, b...I've lived in landlocked Kansas all my life, but I read about widow's walks in books and stories when I was a kid!

I lived in Massa...What a great notion for a story.<br /><br />I lived in Massachusetts, so I was familiar with widows' walks. More recently, a friend lives 2 blocks from the beach on Amelia Island but is blocked from a view of the ocean by one house. She was debating architectural changes and I suggested a widow's walk, but one with seating.<br /><br />While a widow's walk refers to the exterior walkway detail, a cupola is independent and exists mainly for air and light. I find all that architecture intriguing.<br /><br />I look forward to the story! Nicely done.Leigh Lundinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07921276795499571578noreply@blogger.com
