For my forum friends

Thanks GIN!! And I'm proud to stand up and say Happy Birthday to my native land!!

(and since we are only about 10 miles as the crow flies from a large marine corps air base, I expect quite a spectacular show in the sky both daytime and nightime!!)

Lobstah rolls and chowdah for lunch (proceeds going to charity); lots of aht to see at the Aht Festival; hit the gourmet wine and food store and bought the place out (my out-of-town friends did...I simply made sure they saw all the really good stuff!) Then off to pahk by the lighthouse to eat the chocolate pasteries and chug the brews, watching the yachts sail past.
