Yesterday was our family’s annual pirate party. It began mid-afternoon, and lasted late into the evening. In the past, I had hosted the event at my home, in autumn, as close as possible to “Talk Like a Pirate” Day around September 19th.
However, my 15 year-old grandson, John Luis is visiting from Texas, and he hadn’t been to one of our scallywag gatherings, where the gene pool dresses up as pirates and goes nuts for several hours.
My youngest daughter Jill and her husband Steve opened up their home and pool for this year’s event. Granddaughter, Macie, put her heart and soul into creating the little ship pictured below, which populated a prominent spot in the living room. After I snapped a photo of her. My daughter snapped the second shot of me. I had to crawl around a bit trying to maneuver into the tiny space. Once the photo op was finished, my daughter said, “OK Macie, Repair the ship!”
I have a collection of great photos of the time we had together, and a great recipe. But as you can see from my image in the picture – No makeup, messy hair, and basically looking like a horse that has been rode hard and put away wet, I will need a spa day to get back to my “normal” self. Give me a day or so for the photos to appear!
