After several very stressful days, we finally got to settle down and enjoy a few hours yesterday to celebrate the 4th {on the 5th}.....lots of delicious food, a great time with family, and perfect weather! Mom, Dad, Liz, Mitch, Peter and myself got together yesterday and spent the evening in our backyard. Peter grilled burgers, hot dogs, skewers, and brats. We also had lots of yummy side dishes and cake for dessert.

Susan- I hated to hear about the Chesapeake House! Glad no one was injured, however I'm sure that good food is going to be missed by many this summer!
Thanks Shanna, things are definitely different. It has affected many aspects of the island's tourist business. Hopefully, we'll be able to open back up before the season ends. In the meantime, I'm trying to keep the b&b going.
