July 3rd, closes.

Children down the road sell lemonaid,

and from the amount of traffic they

did very well. We also bought some.

De--licious ! 

We all went down on the beach again, and

all who were able, walked 1 1/2 miles down

the beach for a view of the fire works display.

Madeline and I, Megan Daniel and

grandmother Bunny enjoyed

A glorious sunset, peace and quiet, 

and a lone fisherman. 

A great way to end the day.

Megan enjoyed the biology of the slack

tide. She examined small fish oysters, and

some shrimp. She realy enjoys the

wonders of our world.

Low Country Boil.

Still the 3rd of July and it's ready to eat.

There is plenty of help waiting to set up.

Henry is shouting instructions to his Dad

Brian, the chef. This was to funny. Henry

3 1/2 deepens the tone of his voice so he 

would sound like an adult. 

The meal is prepaired and all the fixins are

on other tables where we will feast.

It is such a blessing when a family can get

together and celebrate with food, And

thanks be to GOD

With all of the activity, someone finally

noticed, we had a guest. Feeding its

young. Please click on the picture and see

the baby bird in the right side of the nest

with its mouth wide open. It seems that

new life is every where we look, thank GOD.

Popa and grandmother Madeline trip to

Tybee island, bringing up the rear so we

can corral last minuet items. The senery

was entertaining though.

               Everyone had been on the beach to several

hours and we retreated to the cool house,

where snacks were in demand.

Josephine gives hugs to her dad Tom.

Henry, finished with his snacks, persuades

uncle tom to give him just one bite of a

cupcake. Humph he ate the whole thing.

Above, Henry recharges his batteries. 

Cousins Joel and reed enjoy a joke.

Cousins Josephine and Henry share a

chair and discuss......CUPCAKES !

Meanwhile chef Brian is creating the

Low Country Boil on the ground level.

With the aroma drifting up to the upper level,

mouths were watering.

Honeymoon visit.

Jeremy & Jessica spent their Honeymoon

on Tybee island. Our family was fortunate

to spend an afternoon with them before

they left for home. We had lunch, and

enjoyed conversation.

All of our grand children were in school,

except for Reed who will enter high school

next year. Reed was able to join us for lunch.

Everyone will enjoy their next visit. Soon

we hope.
