We were not too far from the Anglesea lighthouse and on foggy nights we could hear the fog horn blow every few minutes. It was a mournful sound in the middle of the night and it used to keep me awake. I would lay there in bed and wonder if there were any boats out there lost and trying to hear the horn.
We had a lot of neighbors that were fishermen and that song "shrimp boats are coming, there will be dancing tonight" was very popular with them. Mary Shivers, our neighbor was always singing it. I'll never forget her, she was always over our house. She took us to see our first movie, it was Abbot and Costello meet Frankenstein and it scared the wits out of us.
