6/29/09 TRADITION, TRADITION!


Sunday, 6:50 AM. 52 degrees, wind NW, moderate with gusts, the channel is wrinkled. The skies are mostly cloudy, and we got one-eighth of an inch of rain last evening. The barometer predicts sunny weather, and this will probably blow out soon. Everyone arrived in time and good spirits by dinner yesterday. The church is decorated with garden flowers, and daughter Eva and Godparent Graham have practiced their songs for the service. Everyone is due for breakfast at 8:00 and at church before 10:00 AM. It promises to be a fine affair.
Later: all went well, it was a beautiful traditional service, with lunch at the parish house afterwards. Most of our guests took the ferry to Madeline Island for the afternoon, and we will have dinner about six. If nothing else, everyone will be well fed and watered during their stay. I am cooking beef tenderloins on the grill, and Joan is working on three-bean salad and potato salad. Andy and Judy are joining us for dinner. The kids will get to roast marshmallows after dinner. I like mine a little crispy but not charred.
