Today was our last full day here. We got in our morning and afternoon swims. The water has just been amazing this week. Today, if anything, it was too calm and too warm. We did get to see more dolphins, fish, seagulls, and pelicans. And the almost-full moon was gorgeous as it came up. All the cameras came out.
Today is Renee's birthday, and we managed to get a sign up and a cake for her as a surprise.
Supper tonight was our usual finale! Anne makes a roux at home and brings it with her. They also stop in Louisiana and get some boudin. We save any left-over seafood throughout the week, and it all goes together to make her wonderful gumbo. Wow, was it good!
After supper, it was time to start gathering stuff. We each have to pack up our own stuff, get the last load of laundry done, the last load in the dishwasher. It's time to divide up the books that came for the book exchange. Jean gave away a lot of her pottery; Margaret passed out her canned goods; just the usual chaos. Now there are lots of piles of stuff in the halls, waiting to be loaded into the cars in the morning.
The South Carolina crowd is going to get the earliest start tomorrow, and the rest of us will head out in waves - north and west. It'll be a long day's travel for everybody.
Today's picture is one of John's of the moon over Fort Morgan.
