AT THE CAPE

Well, we are here and loving it. The house is great -- one bedroom and bath on the main floor and 2 more of the same on the top floor. This place is actually much nicer than the condos where we stayed before but the location is not as good. It faces the beach, but is a little walk to it. The others were right on it, but that's also the reason they are not available anymore. They were washed away.

Jerry, BJ, Rufus and I made it down in record time. We only stopped for gas and at rest areas. At one of the rest areas we spread out a nice picnic lunch of fried chicken, potato salad, stuffed eggs, and fresh fruit salad. I had put it all together the day before and it tasted very good. But then picnic food always does.

I'll try to get a picture downloaded to my computer so you can see what the place looks like. Rufus has adjusted to it nicely.

On another subject, we had a ball at the luncheon on Friday and came up with a name for our group: Burro Babes. (The burro was our high school mascot.) We all had a great time telling funny stories, and finally one of the others said, "When did you all get so funny? I don't remember y'all being this way."

We laughed and decided that we were too uptight in high school to be witty. We were too busy trying to get dates and that was a serious business.

We're much more relaxed and happy now and can say what's on our minds.
