Rain, rain go away...


LOTS of rain!


The threatening skies


We have our own internet cafe!


Buster returns!


Craig returns from his business trip and says "cheers" with Mother


Pat and Scott play internet Monopoly


Daddy listens while Lois & Mother recall childhood memories...

Well, the nemesis of every beach vacation is the unexpected and unwelcomed...RAIN. It rained all of Saturday night and most of Sunday morning. We got a few hours of sun and clear skies that afternoon but that was it. Yesterday and today it is non-stop rain; coming down in bucket fulls at times. So our activities have been limited to indoors...

Yesterday was an eventful day; Craig traveled to New York for the day for work; his uncle and aunt arrived from Black Mountain, NC and they brought Buster, Beth's dog back from a 6 week visit there. Several of us went shopping at some of the local boutiques. And of course, we eat - the cooking has been fantastic. Just this morning we enjoyed a true southern homemade breakfast - buttermilk biscuits with gravy; country cured ham, fresh fruit, eggs from the farm. Ummm we are eatin' good! Tonight Uncle Frank is heading up dinner - well be having a turkey on the fryer.

Aunt Lois and Doris (sisters) have been spending time together recalling memories from their childhood and writing them down in a book for the family. During the day everyone does their own thing. At night we play games or watch movies. Today seems like a good day for "Gone with the Wind."

Here are some pictures of what we've been up to...
