Back from the beach

We got home about 5:30 ET. It was a great week, but we're always tired after the long drive home. We unpacked the necessities, but the "beach boxes" will keep until tomorrow to go through and repack for next year. We did have great luck with the traffic. Driving down on the fourth meant that all the construction projects were stopped for the weekend. And when we drove through Montgomery, the back-up at construction sites was in the south-bound lanes. We smiled a lot about that!

We stopped and got peaches for Margaret and Wanda to put up. I just snagged a few of them when we got home. They're out on the porch ripening up a big more. Sue had brought some from SC to the beach, and they were delicious! Margaret brought blackberries and blueberries, and got some nectarines, so we had fresh cut-up fruit every morning with breakfast. It makes us feel healthier about consuming all that cholesterol that we have for the rest of the meal. Cutting up the fruit is my contribution to breakfast.

We had gorgeous weather most of the time. We even got two days when there were strong breezes and low enough humidity to sit outside on the porch to read/knit/talk. We did have one day of storms, but that was even fun to watch - I love watching the weather over the ocean. It's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it.

We started out with a high number of 22, and ended up with 12. We are certainly lucky to have such a great group of family and friends.
