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.
