Dinner at the beach went well. Two extra guests brought the count up to 14, so it was a nice sized party. The weather was lovely and everyone got a bit of what rubs them right. There was everything from sunny weather in 80's to foggy coolness, with a bit of drizzle, in the 60's (my personal favorite). And that was just in the 36 hours Big E and I were there. Grand M has another week, without girls, before she comes home. ("Why would you do THAT?" little e asked. Mystified as to how anyone could have fun at the beach without her.)
