Day 1: Let it snow...or flurry
Our first day in Bayville we ate bagels, hung around the house, did some errands,and then it snowed, or flurried, depending on how often you see snow!! We all went to bed pretty early and then slept pretty late.
Day 2: Figgy pudding
I guess I underestimated the skill and patience required to prepare the fig trees for their winter cozy. Sue and Mike came over around nine o'clock in the morning and we finished up around two o'clock in the afternoon. I don't think I've ever gathered so many leaves in my entire life.
Day 3: Lights, Cameras, Christmas Trees
Yesterday we walked along the beach over to Angie's to help Sue and Mike decorate the house with Christmas lights. I'm pretty sure you can see it from space now.
Then we went and picked out a Christmas tree and some wreaths. We got the best tree in lot, second only to Sue and Mike's tree, of course, it's not a competition (that wouldn't be very jolly).

Kids,
you did a great job on the figs.
I could not have done better.
The torch has been passed to a new generation.
I am sure that your great grandfather was watching. (You
might have even smelled the cigar smoke.)
Thanks so much for helping to carry on the tradition.
With all my love,
dad
Dear Mary and Mike,
Great work on the leaves and lights!
This does seem like a great way to keep in touch. I got an email, clicked on it, read you message and got to look at the pictures.
I am not looking forward to this being a long-term substitute for watching West Wing and continuing our restaurant tour of Tucson, BUT it is a very good system. Thanks for thinking of all of us and how to stay in touch while away.
Love and looking forward to your return.
