I am so tired! Yawning, achy, stuffy...We went to bed about 11, but it took me a while to fall asleep. Carpooling with other people is hard. We didn't leave as early as I would have liked, and then we looked in Augusta for a place we wanted to eat, that would be good but fast. We finally ate at Five Guys (is that the name). It's a hamburger place. They serve burgers, fries, and drinks. Hot dogs, too. You can have all kinds of toppings on your burger--like grilled onions and mushrooms--no extra charge. We didn't know, but they are 2 patties, unless you order the little ones, which I would do next time. Ray and I split a small (regular) order of fries--it would have been plenty for four! They were really good burgers, too.

We went to the beach in the morning. I played some more Spider. I mad pancakes for the crew with blueberries. When Ray and Becky went shopping (while I was on line Friday in Beaufort), they were supposed to get buttermilk for the pancakes, but there wasn't any. So they got this powdered stuff--you're supposed to add one cup of water and 4 T. for every cup of buttermilk. My pancakes were too thin. And then trying to cook on someone else's stove, with their pans. They were not beautiful. Some were not cooked enough and some were almost burned. But they liked them and we ate them all up!

The beach and the ocean were wonderful and it was practically like The Big Chill--or being in college. We all had so much fun. We already made another date in September.

but I am really glad to be home. Sleeping in my own bed. Even driving our own car from Becky's to here. It smelled like cookies!
