To the Sea, To the Sea, To the Beautiful Sea

Off on vacation on Friday. Thanks to L who again rented the huge fabulous beachfront house in the Outer Banks of North Carolina for a week of fun, family, and beach. Most of us are getting there, only my son, P and his fiancee, and K's husband are not going to be able to make some part of the week. We will miss them. J will be there too, and C and her children. It will be a blast. We have games and crafts planned, baking, eating and drinking, walking on the beach, sitting in the sun, jumping in the waves, fishing and crabbing, boating, doing the local art fair, sleeping, catching up with each other and in general, just enjoying each other's company. It's a wonderful week. It is definitely one of the high points of my year. Thanks to all for making time for all of us.
