A short hiatus

We are at the Fort Morgan area of Gulf Shores, AL - just east of the mouth of Mobile Bay. The drive down on the 4th was relatively easy. We didn't see any of the big fireworks displays in the area - we're too far from the center of town. And there were just a few folks setting off stuff in the neighborhood.

All is great here, though. We have almost a full house this year, with 22 folks through tomorrow, then four will be leaving.

We've had storms today - so no swimming, but I love to see the stormy weather over the water (as long as it doesn't last TOO long). Some folks have gone into town to do various kinds of shopping. Others are just hanging out - reading, knitting, sleeping, computering - all that vacation type of stuff.

I've made our reservations for next year. And John and I are looking at the possibilities of a small house to rent for a week this winter - just for us.
