and waited for Suzanne to emerge so that we could go. We listened to the
radio
and checked the gauges
before Melissa
and then Melissa and Suzanne
emerged.
It was the 3rd of July and so time to get ready to go to the beach
for a picnic. We watched the door
and waited for Suzanne to emerge so that we could go. We listened to the
radio
and checked the gauges
before Melissa
and then Melissa and Suzanne
emerged.
The ride was uneventful and we knew to not jump off the bridge
even without the sign
and soon we were there
taking the obligatory phone booth and beach tags sign pictures.
Their house, 3083,
was quite nice and within a short time we were eating cheese
and I had some beer
while Suzanne was finishing her water
when Lucy and Jane appeared
and took a picture of the fan
for Benjamin. The kids went to the arcade and came back
wit the Coca Cola polar bear
the tiger
and other assorted toys. They also had caps
to fire to celebrate our flag
and the neighbor
who saluted us. All of this made Suzanne
happy even as Michael
twisted in his chair and Caroline
appeared incognito. We decorated the food
had more beer
and sent Lucy
down below to catch the parachute.
Next it was to fire the snaps
which Jane and Lucy did
to Suzanne's amazement.
The food smelled too good to even consider the Fishin Pier.
Next we went to the beach
to see the gulls
and watch them fly
beyond Lucy and Jane
as Suzanne
watched. We took a few artistic gull shots.
We shot a pier picture
and then it was time to play life guard
and pretend that we didn't see the crazy lady
with her metal detector. Ben climbed the life guard chair
and then we went back to see Michael and Caroline cook a wonderful meal.
The next day, we headed out
past the ad for the Elvis impersonator
to Mellon's
home of the sticky buns
with the big promise
that were delivered by these girls
from Media.
Next we went to the bagel shop next door where they were
celebrating the 4th
in grand style. We checked out the menu
but didn't want to ruin our appetites so we had Benjamin do the flag thing
took a picture of this bumper sticker
and then ran into these wonderful children
having a holiday parade.
Back at home, as the time passed,
Jane and Lucy rested
and then got ready to move
even though the day was gloomy.
But time passed
so we watched Rikki
encourage people to get out of their Mom's house.
And then we got settled at the beach
as Suzanne read the Bernstein guide to Paris
and Lucy and Jane gathered shells.
All of this digging
led to these conch shells with live animals in them
and this crab
so that we roamed the beach looking for more
until it was time to return for reading.
and Michael and Caroline
could discuss publishing English research to the amusement
of Suzanne. The digging resumed
and we made a sign
warning people away from our masterpiece.
It was time for regrouping
The digging continued beyond the pier
and back

as the conch
dried up
and we got ready to put the sea rice
back home.
The next excursion began a little later
as we made our way to Hoy's
where we took our obligatory phone booth picture
and worried about poor Joe.
Suzanne modeled for us
in Hoy's and we left to see this fine ad
for tutoring.
The only thing better than Benjamin's dinner
were these crayons
he won at the arcade much to the delight of the neighbors.
The meal was exquisite with
mozzarella, basil and tomatoes,
roasted vegetables,
zucchini rice,
asparagus rice,
and leftover fish.
Sadly it was departure time, so Caroline
took the first picture
followed by Suzanne.
This is (more or less)
what they saw.
