They Came, They Saw, and then......They Left

   It was a bright, sunny, humid Summer day back last week when the flowers welcomed our Arkansas family to our Island for a few days.

   For 3 days and nights we got together for food, games and conversation, either in their rented condo or our own.

    Archer (rising 11th grader), kept us straight with stats and rankings on various games

    One of our favorite games, i.e. the one I could understand the rules and procedures..

   We let them do the "Island things" on their own, walking to the pier, going to the beach, eating out, while we rested in the air conditioning.

   I think Cady Gray found a Ga. Tech friend near the Village

   Donna and Noel (in the weeds), and the whole Family in the Spanish Moss

   No matter where I turned, there they were, this time reflected in the window of the Cleaners

   We cooked for them one night, Noel cooked for all the next night, and then we had leftovers for the third supper. It was all good, and we had plenty of ice cream for dessert.

   But soon it was time for them to continue their vacation on a cruise ship out of Jacksonville. So we loaded them up..

   (Jacksonville Cruise Port (ready to sail away))

   And wandered back to our home condo, sat on the porch with the sunset, and remembered good times together with family.

   And a good time was had by All

   Thanks Noel for bringing your, not-so-little and growing-up-too-fast, family to see us. Come back soon.
