last days at the beach!

Our rusty screen door slams shut, and we are consuming far too many popsicles not made with real fruit juice, and it seems that Terry left for Tokyo ages ago, but life's good overall at the shore, and we will be sad to leave on Saturday. We've had visitors from New York, Georgia and Texas, Washington DC and Virginia, Pennsylvania and Connecticut, Singapore and Mexico. We competed in the boogie board races today -- me in the "moms" category (those ladies were all smiles and sheepishness until that fog horn blew!) and Conor in the 7-year-old group, where he made a very strong showing, taking 4th place. Of course I left the camera home, so this shot of the boys kickin' back on the side "porch" will have to do.
