When I woke up on Saturday, Joyce was reading and Jess and Fanny were sitting in shadow (artistically) as I ran into Claire downstairs who was about to depart which didn't distract Ben from his solitaire game as Joyce read the next chapter of Bronte to Sarah and me as Sarah watched and Joyce read and Jane then Jane and Lucy gathered food after making their cookies so that Ben could have his meal and we could greet our neighbors on the way to the beach where Ben was reading and everyone else was sprawled out as I started a new book until Jessie and her boy friend arrived and he showed off his ink as Jess and Joyce tended to the broken chair with Jess sitting down and getting trapped much to Joyce's amusement and so we passed the rest of the day at the beach

before heading back so that Fanny could read the next chapter of Bronte to Ben Sarah and me (in this self portrait) and Devon could read the next chapter as seen through Ben's Fruit Loops before the corn was shucked the meat was prepared the burgers were made and all was placed on the grill including the veggie burgers for a full grill so that this was my plate and this was my neighbors and Jane had her plate and Lucy had hers as they posed for a Jane and Lucy photo before Jessie's friend, Tony and then Jessie read chapters of Anne Bronte which Suzanne, Jane and Lucy avoided by adjourning to their chambers.
