Hail hail the gangs all here---well almost!

 TERRY

Terry is doing remarkable in terms of having MUCH company here.  As I write she is watching a Hallmark movie.  Same today as yesterday.

Perhaps pictures say it better than words!

Yes the pool is a popular place for the kids!

I promise there are two pair of legs for each pair of shoes!!!

Here is Grandpa with two of his little grandsons!  In case you can not tell Grandpa is in the middle with Liam on his right and Henry on his left!  Grandpa is wondering if he will ever have grandchildren that are taller than he?????

As I write it is 12:20 and the shuttle boat is not running today so two car loads of family left for the beach about 30 minutes ago and I am guessing they will return sometime around 1:00 or so.  The girls made sure they had plastic bags for shells!  So as I write it is Terry and I at home.  I think some of the kids have rooms for tonight but not sure.  Travis has his own hotel room about 10 miles away.  

We have a festive three meals in the next three days.  Day one is a brisket that John will fix on the grill.  Day two will be some LIVE lobsters that will be delivered tomorrow and day three will be a fancy ribeye roast so as one can tell we will not suffer in terms of food.  

Travis and Cynthia and Mike arrived yesterday.  John and family arrived this morning as they had car problems north of Atlanta Tuesday.  So all we are missing is Aaron/Amy and kids and much to our disappointment they will not be able to come.  Maybe another time for sure.

I think that is about all for now.  Terry is doing well with so much noise around here so that is good.  There were a few presents to open and I tell you I had forgotten how much fun it is to be present when kids open gifts.  It is more fun watching them than actually getting gifts for ones self.  Don't misunderstand me I enjoy gifts BUT to see faces light up on little kids is the best.  Of course we all miss loved ones who are not with us anymore as the memories are wonderful but reality is today is today and yesterday is memories only.  

Enough as it is PM now so the FP, all 3 pots this morning, are only distance memories and good ones at that!  So now it is on to the rest of the day and a few days to come.
