...ONGOING SAGA OF THE beach birthday, in which the whole kit and kaboodle headed off to yet another place of fun and games...

followed by ten folks around a table at the Black Pelican restaurant, eating seafood...

...and drinking and talking and laughing and thinking "I'm so lucky!"  (Er...Reader Dear, I was only inside one head, I confess.

It was the same head I took back to the beach house with me, kind of swimmy with the pina colada, and the high of having so many loved ones with whom to celebrate a birthday!)

Actually, we celebrated two birthdays!
Happy Birthday, Shishe!
(Hers is four days later,
and so much
bigger
than
mine!)
