We had a lot of lightning, thunder, and rain during the night. This morning, it was cloudy and drab, but still warm, and the water was lovely. By noon the sun had come out, and the water was a lovely color. There was lots of seaweed pieces, but no jellies that I noticed.
Folks were coming and going all day long - to the grocery store, to the Estuarium on Dauphin Island, to Souvenir City. John and I just stay put. About midafternoon, Allan and Renee got here, from NYC via Birmingham. There's great hilarity and lots of hot air (from the talking and the BS flying around) all the time. The noise level does get high at times. We even got to talk to Alison tonight.
The cocktail hour featured John B's margaritas. For dinner, we had shrimp (boiled, pickled, and ceviche), poached fish (grouper and flounder), green beans, and the ubiquitous tomato pie.
I got a call this morning from my friend with bad news - her sister had died, after having been diagnosed with Wegener's disease several weeks ago. Our hearts do go out to her and her family.
Today's picture is a closeup of the beach sitters.
