2009 Labor Day Trip, Day 5

Sunday: I was up early on Sunday morning and took a stroll down to the beach, looking for any treasures the sea may have bestowed upon the sands. Alas, the only things I found were a piece of blue glass which hadn’t nearly spent enough time being worked over by the salt water, thus it was only good for the trash bin (along with a lot of other flotsam and jetsam which we picked up).
Returning to camp, I took care of some small tasks here and there, then we all settled in for some one-card. (Overall, it was a bad year for me; not one victory. Damn!) Ed and Sue showed up in the mid-day and more hugs and laughter were had.
More and more folks began showing up as the afternoon wore on, and preparations were made for the annual Sunday Lobster (and steak, and chicken, and kielbasa) Feast! Mmmmm, FOOD!!

Here are the unlucky fellas, prior to their introduction to the steam…
Rob and Rod do the dastardly deed of placing them into the pot while Bub looks on.
Some of the finished product…
We ate, drank, recited poems and stories, made commemorative buttons, reconnected with old friends, made new friends – all around, just a fantastic time, long into the night. Hell, there was so much fun to be had, even the flies were getting into it (yes, this is an actual picture that I took).

Much merriment was made in the night hours! We each fell victim to the toll that such amusement wreaks upon our bodies, and one by one, we eventually closed our eyes on another successful Labor Day weekend.
