We were very grateful to spend a week at the shore at a beautiful and comfortable Beach House owned by heroically generous friends of our family. For the first time, none of our adult children could join us and we had a small party of six. We missed our big kids and the grandchildren because they are so much fun to be with.
We had an extremely relaxing week of being together with our "small' family. We got as much sun as we could during the two days that it shone, and experienced the beach in its many stormy moods. The great crashing waves and the grey and dark blue colors of both the sea and sky were majestic.
The cooler weather lent itself well to the making of delicious homemade meals in the wonderful kitchen. We really enjoyed watching some cable TV all together as we don't have cable at home! It was a nice change of pace to be relaxed and not busy...
To see a tropical storm come through as we watched the rain over the wide horizon of the ocean was a new experience. The kids loved swimming in the pool and Larry and I were grateful for the gift of time spent together in such a scenic and luxurious place.
