Friday morning Ben and Dr Len got up and then Ben and Dr Len did the neck grab thing after which I toasted a bagel and took a self portrait of myself with my bagel as Suzanne and Dr Len watched and watermelon was eaten as Dr Len decided to teach us how to play pinochle with a few open hands as Jane and Sarah was excited to see my hand (with a marriage in trumps) before Lucy and Carolyn arrived and Sarah and Jess headed for the beach since Jess and Joyce had arrived but we admired the fruit, including tomatoes from her garden, that Carolyn had brought along with the cannoli even as we brought out the turkey to make beach sandwiches and Ben Lucy and Jane started making sandwiches and gathered a Diet Coke (caffeine free, of course) to bring along so that we could gather at the beach and watch Lucy's kite fly as Lucy and Jane were captured by Fred's camera and Carolyn and Suzanne watched as the kite flew on before Suzanne and Jane gathered as Ben made a new beach baseball field and the girls stretched while Suzanne Carolyn and Dr Len engaged in conversation and the girls had their own conversation until Suzanne Carolyn Ben Dr Len and the gathered girls realized it was time to head back so that we could take these portraits of all the girls -- Lucy, Jane. Fred, Jess, Sarah, Joyce, Claire with a break for Ben then back to the girls -- Lucy, Jane. Fred, Jess, Sarah, Joyce, Claire until they dissembled and Carolyn and Suzanne posed and then Carolyn and Suzanne posed with Jane and Lucy as Ben Dr Len Suzanne and Carolyn and Fred wondered what came next or how the fan rotated as the case may be. It was time for Anne Bronte, so Jess read as Joyce read her book I took this self portrait and Ben climbed the stairs until Jess finished her reading and we headed to the Levins.

Adele Sternberg greeted us and Janet offered us a drink and then Sally and Janet Levin posed before the girls and Henry found the food and Frank discussed the Phillies as the food beckoned and Robert Levin appeared and Henry sat on the sofa as Suzanne was enjoying herself even as Janet and Frank made another drink (maybe for me) and Robert and Frank and then Robert and Frank and Adele checked the kitchen where Suzanne, Janet and Henry were gathered and Henry was getting ready for the food on my plate as Sarah, Devon and Fanny announced their departure and the rest of us kept eating
