Today is the only time all summer I have been awake early enough to watch the sun RISE!!!  Daughter #3 and family were leaving early to fly back to Boston, so we were all up early to see them off. The balance of the  morning and early afternoon were spent putting all the outside furniture inside, covering the boats, tidying up the house, washing sheets and towels, and saying all our GOODBYES.....

We had a wonderful visit together, all 18 of us and especially because we could celebrate hubby's birthday.  The very best part was a surprise visit by Daughter #3 and her family.  Great times and memories...
