\"\"<\/a>It\u2019s been a while since my last post. There are lots of reasons for that, but most revolve around family stuff. May included a family trip to the beach and then further visits with family when we returned home.<\/p>\n

Our beach of choice is Edisto Island, where we\u2019ve found a house large enough to hold up to a dozen of us for a price we can afford. It\u2019s a quiet, family-oriented beach. A couple of good restaurants and a few shops provide some outlet for finding souvenirs and food we didn\u2019t cook ourselves, but the main entertainment is the sun, surf, and sand. That suits us perfectly.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This year\u2019s group included myself, my husband, sister-in-law, older daughter, younger daughter, her husband, and her four sons, aged 6 to 12.<\/p>\n

The older three boys have all had swimming lessons and eagerly tackled learning to ride with the waves. I bought them all boogie boards and they got heavy use. The youngest prefers to remain in the shallow surf, holding someone\u2019s hand to keep from being bowled over by the waves. Of course, they all love sand construction projects as well.<\/p>\n

It’s a great time for catching up with each other, catching up with some reading, eating seafood, and having a few drinks while listening to the surf.<\/p>\n

My writing is on hiatus but I\u2019ll get back to it.<\/p>\n
