They've come and gone!

It was so great having Kate and Jonathan here! A good chance to really get to know my new grandson. He's a game-player, like us, and 7 of us sat around the table for a few rousing games of Chronology after supper, then adjourned to the backyard and a bonfire (complete with s'mores of course). After a while Peg and Kerry went home and I went on to bed...it was so neat to hear the kids still talking and laughing out there under the full moon as I fell asleep. Dan stayed over, as well as Kate and Jonathan, so we had breakfast together and more games and talk before they left on Sat. afternoon. High times at Bug Island! joan

The new and improved Kate is signing in!
I get to visit Bug Island THIS WEEKEND! I am looking forward to some hammock time and being able to share the BI experience with JLight. I will make sure to take some pics of us enjoying the garden etc to post.

ummmm...hello? Ok, we'll see how this works. What to share of my fascinating life? (Yikes!...somehow having the spotlight on it makes it very humdrum.) My garden's doing well, no doubt because of all the conversation I'm having with it. Well, a maybe little one-sided but the sound of my own voice is so intriguing! joan

Welcome to the Bug Island Bugle Virtual Bonfire

Okay.

Now that all the hugging and back-patting has been taken care of, and the food's on the table in the kitchen, would somebody be so kind as to pull a few lawn chairs out to the edge of the yard where the wood's been stacked for the bonfire?

Thought I'd start us off with some photos I took last summer in Bug Island.

I'd love to see photos of the places all you fellow blog authors live. They don't have to be too revealing. And if you don't have digital photos, no problem, just let post about what's going on with you.

Dixi, have any shots you'd like to share from Greece this spring? John & Jackie...photos of the progress on the house. Brian & Pat, show off those horsewomen in your family?

If anyone would feel more comfortable, we can make this blog by invitation only, so that just the people who can write on it can read it.
