Ernestine had the first mishap by sitting in a wet lawn chair and soaking her behind. She was good natured about it, though, and laughed it off with the rest of us.
Wayne, who'd just had Mohs surgery on his ear, was slightly hurt when the wind blew a table umbrella over and it hit him on the ear. Family photos were being taken at the time and he said it was difficult to keep smiling through the pain. Luckily our nurse practitioner, Shelley, was there to check it out and declare it okay.
Tammy had made a huge $350 lobster stew and one of her friends over spiced it. Tammy held herself together long enough to fix the mistake and it turned out to be one of the tastiest dishes I've ever had.
Nick fell in love with lobster rolls and may have gone bankrupt buying so many...$10 each!
Marilee and her brood stayed at the old Algonquin Hotel in St. Andrews. Faye and I visited her there and were thrilled with the majesty of the place.
We drove by Ferne's house on Riverside Dr. and it brought back wonderful memories. We even got inside the house that Billy and Jacky owned and that is still for sale. It's such a grand old house but it needs too much work to renew it and, being so large, it costs too much to heat it. I'm hoping someone will take the project on because it could be used for many purposes.
We played "washers"...me for the first time...and had so much fun. By partnering us randomly we got to have fun with relatives we hadn't spent time with beforehand.
The heavens gave us clear and warm weather with only one little scare with black clouds and specks of rain. We were lucky and we knew it!
I've missed mentioning many events but I'm tired after my 16 hour drive and need to hit the sack. I'll add more as I remember them. LOL!
