Storyline

Ellen, a New York lawyer, and her pre-engagement boyfriend Hayden, a politician, are perfect together on paper, but she still has not given him an answer to his proposal of marriage. Ellen and her maternal grandmother Ruth have always had a special bond, they going on unusual adventures together, something that Ellen's more conservative mother, Cynthia, has never understood. The last words Ruth said to Ellen before she passed away was for Ellen to hand deliver a letter for her, it addressed to a Chet Cumberfield in Beacon, Maine, where, as Ellen just learns, Ruth was born and grew up, Chet of who Ellen and Cynthia had never heard. Ellen has no hesitation in obliging her grandmother's last request, it a task which she believes will take two days at the most, her return to New York when she will give Hayden an answer. Ellen makes a literal and figurative big splash upon her arrival in Beacon, that event which will forever tie her to a local contractor named Roy in the minds of Beacon ...

Nothing Blue about this Great Movie

This movie was a great surprise. Alison Sweeney was the actress from "Love on the Air". Absolutely loved her. Looked up her bio and she's been in 1800 episodes of Days of Our Lives. She was perfect. What a great role for Shirley Jones as the grandma. Marc Blucas from "Operation Christmas" was perfect as a construction worker. Kavan Smith from "When Calls the Heart" plays in a similar role. The crowd at the motel/inn was very well done and added so much to the movie. They gave our lead actress the nickname swimmer then got her to Karaoke "Foot Loose" (an excellent memorable scene). Now the blue berry plot did not make much sense and was a bit of a stretch, but this was a fun filled movie with true emotion.
