Wednesday started with Ben pretending to be asleep as we unloaded the dishwasher and headed past Whites as Suzanne and Jane followed until we got to Viking Village where Jane and Ben had their muffins on the porch of the Village Brew as Suzanne took her change and leaned on the rail while a FedEx truck passed and Jane waited at home as I took these self portraits and this self profile as I started my next book and Ben was happy to see Jan arrive as the fruit bowl told us that it was time to go to the beach and not time for a drink as Jane watched Fred get dropped off and then Fred entered the house as Jane packed pretzels for the beach and Jane admired Fred's driver's license as I took pictures of Fred's driver's license and then we went to the beach where Ben and Suzanne sat as the sky clouded and Ben wondered if Suzanne could get the umbrella to stand which it did for a while after which we recorded the welcome sign and Jane and Jane and Fred and Ben, Jane, and Fred posed after which Ben and Fred then Fred and Ben tried to make the umbrella stand as Jane got ready to call it a day at the beach and Suzanne finished her time there as well so that we could head home for a game of solitaire as Jane showered and I had a gin and tonic and the food on the counter showed that the solitaire game had gone well as the cheese and mozzarella was served and the salad and mussels and pesto pasta and the assembled enjoyed seeing the food on my plate and knowing that I made the clean plate club as you can see from Jane Jan Fred Sarah Ben Suzanne and me in this self portrait though I could not capture a self portrait in profile with Ben but we did think that the mussels made the ice cream truck appear as we recorded the sign and Mike, our favorite driver, posed in one of his many basketball shirts even as Ben, Fred and Jane got into the truck and posed before collected their ice cream and posing with it as Jan prepared for her journey back to Princeton and Suzanne and Sarah occupied the kitchen as the rest of us played Ohell and Ben and I switched, so I was wearing his glasses and Ben was wearing my glasses and Ben and I wore each others glasses before Ben put on my glasses in stages and I couldn't bear to look before Ben and I decided that this self portrait would work until Fred read the next chapter in the Bronte book for all to hear.
