The next day began with this sign for the collection
as Suzanne rested from our walk (though we had to walk back)
and I had this drink
and took this self portrait
before we walked back to see Jane
Lucy
Rachel
and Ben
as Suzanne
and I
admired Jane, Lucy and Fred
before heading to the beach to read this sign
and get comfortable at the beach
where I took a break from my book
to head back to the house with Ben
where wonder of wonders up pulled this car
with Jeff at the wheel
and in came Jeff
and Sarah
and then we returned to the beach where the older girls
befriended this younger girl
as Suzanne and Jeff chatted
I watched the sky
the gulls roamed free
the life guards frolicked
and the rail birds moved on.
Back at home, Sarah and Ben read our options
as the peanuts came out
and Jane and Lucy
admired the drinks
as Jeff amused the girls
as Suzanne and Sarah dressed the salad
as Ben watched
as Sarah and Suzanne prepared the rest of the food
so that we could go to the porch and Suzanne
Sarah
Jane
Fred
Lucy
Jeff
Ben
and I could pose
and then in another round, Sarah
and Ben could pose
before Ben started reading the Iliad aloud
and Jane
showed off her manicure
and then took the camera and took these pictures of me
then Lucy
Fred
me and Lucy
