Day Two

My brother, keeping a close eye on the kids...

The kids...ain't nothin' like cousin love!

Traditionally, we have ribs one night for dinner. My uncle buys the meat, Mom does an incredible job cooking them, and we devour them.

My brother was the winner, at nine ribs, stripped to the bone. David - whose favorite meal is 'pig ribs', as he calls them - came in second. I ate five.

Can you tell David likes these things? Man, they were good!

Daniel cleaned his plate.

Here's what remained. We were wishing we had a dog around...

I will continue to post these pictures, at the very least to entertain Bill. Maybe tomorrow I'll take a picture of our cereal bowls.

I am SO relaxed - I have NOT worked, have NOT checked email, and am starting to feel just a little bit more human. The sea has a very calming effect on me. Unfortunately, I already feel the end of our time creeping up on us...this week will be altogether too short.
