Declan’s Beautiful Beach Day

Great day! Plenty of sun, just the right amount of wind and warm temperatures. First thing this morning, Anne and I walked Declan and Puck down to Doelle’s. Both of them were just itching to get to the beach and getting these two out of the cabin when we did let everyone else wakeup more gradually and gracefully. Dan setup his lean-to and after breakfast-brunch-early lunch we all hunkered down under its shade. Later still, Dan and Britt took Maren and Declan for a sail around Round Island. Then in the afternoon the boys tag teamed their naps, first Wyatt, then Declan, then Mark (how did he get in there?) and then Wyatt again. Before you knew it, it was time for dinner and then a bath or in this case a shower and then bedtime again. Tomorrow, we’ll do it all over again. Wash. Rinse. And repeat.

Chaos reigns supreme! Last night, Maren and the grandchildren arrived, and you should see the cabin now. There are eight of us now. You’ll love what we’ve done with the place! Anne accompanied them and like the rest was laid low after spending all day in the air. Today, the clouds parted, the wind subsided and generally we all enjoyed a beach day. Dan erected a beach tent to shield the wee ones from the sun. Then he and Britt departed by sea. Puck is entertaining herself by chasing a stoat. I am seen here happily wearing my birthday crown. Heavy hangs the head that wears the crown. This is the third of four July birthday crowns that Anne has fashioned. It is easily the best that she has made, in my humble opinion. Wyatt and Declan’s crowns each have their current ages emblazoned on them, while mine is timeless. I guess this means that they can expect new crowns next year though. Maren’s is the fourth crown, yet to be presented. Because it is impolite to discuss a lady’s age, her crown will also be timeless.

Winds of War

The winds of war blew hard last night. Part of a massive three-day blow. Off the lake came huge whitecaps. Dan felt obliged to move his sailboat into the grass. We had both fires going to guard against the cold, but soon it was time for me to go to bed. I was awakened at two AM though, after “something” had happened. I think that the big guys could not contain their war to just the little guys and things spilled over. Things seemed fine in the morning though. Games Workshop had released an addendum to the rules overnight, making last night’s results obsolete.

Today, I was laid low by my GLP-1 medication. It wasn’t until an hour ago that I began to function again. My gut was in a twist, but it is better. Good thing, because today is my birthday.
