A gracious good Thursday morning to all of you. And a Happy Anniversary to BK and all of us. It is incredible to believe it has been 22 years!!!
I returned to Johnston at 4 p.m. yesterday afternoon. Tired, but very happy and pleased to have spent the previous two days at the beach with my cousins.
We talked and talked and talked and walked on the beach and talked and talked and ate delicious meals while we talked and talked.
i don't believe I have ever been in a "chattier" situation. My cousin Rick can talk more than anyone I have ever known. His wife, Susan, is his equal in that in all respects. During my first day, I began wondering if I would ever have a moment of silence to myself to read anything on my iPhone in Facebook. I admit I was overwhelmed by it all, but I adjusted, and that is the the key thing.
I had breakfast two days in a row...a thing that hasn't happened in a long, long time. I had grits with cheddar cheese, bacon, two eggs and toast, all absolutely wonderful. Our meals were at local restaurants, and breakfast was at the Litchfield Restaurant. The breakfast menu was astonishing.
We talked during the half hour or so after we ordered, all during the meal and for another hour at the table after we ate. Honestly, I couldn't understand why we tarried so long when we could have talked in the car or back at the condo.
We even talked while we walked. I believe in putting one foot in front of another and getting to where I am going, but for whatever reason, we would take a couple of steps and one of my cousins would stop, turn to look at one of us and start talking while we just stood there....even in the middle of a busy parking lot. I had to move us along a few times, but we all stayed out of harm's way.
Did I mention that we talked a bit?
This house is so QUIET! I hardly know how to behave.
