Thursday, July 23

Wedding Day has arrived. Today we hosted the wedding of Katherine and John from Virginia Beach, Virginia. Ethan provided the transportation for the wedding party and the ceremony took place at 1230. Brenda presented them with a cake and they toasted their marriage with champagne. Everything went well, the weather held out and they make a great couple. We wish them all the best.

A large group of young folks from the Small Point Summer School showed up around 1130. This was a group of about twenty ranging from six years old to young adults. They were very well behaved and the older guys took care of the younger ones. They had respect for the wedding party and everything worked out well. I showed them the lighthouse and talked about the island.

During the day the sun did not shine. It was warm at times and cool at times with occasional mist but that really did not put a damper on things. Both the wedding party and the summer school students had a great day and we enjoyed hosting them.

Brenda cooked up those sirloin tips we bought yesterday. I didn’t get a chance to use the grill. The tips were great. We’ll try them again. Maybe I’ll use the grill next time.

We didn’t get much else done today and the forecast is for a nasty, rainy day tomorrow.
