Sunday morning the rains came to the pool
as Peter and Steven departed our driveway
and rainbows appeared
so that Suzanne and I could pose for numerous rainbow photos
as we observed our ship that had come in over night
and the incoming ferry
that was going to take Steven
and Peter
as they boarded for the mainland
and made their way
so that we could return and read Peter's poem
as a barge went by
a rainbow returned
causing the need to plunge our toilet
and with yet another rainbow (each one nicer than the one before)
we heard the arrival of the bikers' boat
and left home for a walk
starting with the real estate signs at Pam's house
moving on to the reconstruction of the houses damaged in the hurricane of 1995
recording the lovely sky
as we made our way up the hill
and past the barrel cactus
to the bottom of the fort
and then along the way
to the assembled bikes and paraphernalia
as Aggie told us about the bike tour
about to leave
and we recorded views from the fort
including this picture of Suzanne
and these pictures of me
|
before we recorded the views (though we'd be back for the full moon party)
and then made our way down past the new construction
and the destructed hotel
along the road to the fire station
and then along the Overdown
past the sign that gave Mark's hours at the Pirate Deli
to note that Honeymoon Beach was fairly deserted
though our neighbor had a good bumper sticker
as I ate my granola bar
and watched the arrival of the boat
that brought Steven
and Peter
just in time to take this insect from the chair
into the water
and watch it make its way away from the property
so that a lunch of sandwich
and pina colada
and pretzel sticks
could be enjoyed by Peter
Suzanne
Steven
me
Seva
and Sara.
Later that day, as evening was approaching, we climbed into the truck
and made our way back to the fort to enjoy the views
and watch the approaching sunset
as these photos of Suzanne and me
were taken as Seva and Peter climbed the hill
and then the Justs
and Kramers posed
as Sara took photos of the arriving crowds
while the clouds
alternated with food
and clouds
and food
made for an interesting gathering with the locals
including this woman
and her husband who had invented vrbo.com which is how we found our house.
Back at home, snacks
cheese
crackers
and goat cheese were assembled
as Sara, Seva and Suzanne worked in the kitchen
to cook pasta
and tomatoes
and make drinks
so that when the table was set
this could be my plate
as Peter
Seva
Sara
Steven
Suzanne
and I enjoyed a pleasant dinner together.
