What great memories this evokes for me. While I don't recall any receptacles of water from Gramma, I do fondly recall her always saying, "We must stand in the ocean to make us strong for the year." I remember walking her down to the water from her beach chair, hand firmly on my arm, and standing with her to make sure she wasn't swept out to sea. Thank you for the lovely post!

You were usually all together at the shore on this date. I couldn’t always be there because of work, so she would make sure I’d have some water.
