Our friend (and host for week-end and birthday boy) is the one in the center. He is watching much younger folks play water volleyball  — as was I from the balcony. We had an outstanding time on the beach — THANKS Walt and Pam —  Now for a few photos from the week end — there..

….are more to come — I will not include my photo of the score sheet from the domino game – I do not want the looser’s to feel poorly, you know?  Would you call that a convoluted way of telling you who the winner was? Anyway ever onward.

Now the promise I hope to keep — I will not be lazy and let 10 days go by without a blog update – even if I am busy with other less important things.  I have many pictures and stories waiting to be shown and told — thanks for asking if I was OK and thanks for watching — I will work on  the backlog — hope you are not sorry you ask to see more blogs!

I am flying to pick up the next blog update and send it to you.
