The recent rains have turned all the hills into various shades of green and flowers are everywhere.

It's a beautiful day with just a slight nip in the air. With a huge stack of 'junk' wood to burn, Gary starts the bonfire. Doesn't take long before we have a nice fire going.

We all stand and sit around the fire discussing world politics, illegal immigration, sailing, sex and wonder if there really is an Easter Bunny.

What a great day!

"HMMMMM," we hear Gary mutter. "This fire isn't big enough!"

Karen thinks it's just right as she warms her behind. Later she asks, "Does the heat from the fire make my butt look big?" Fortunately, Steve and Gary keep their mouths shut and pretend not to hear.

Ann hears Karen and thinks it may work. A little rubbing and some heat and PRESTO! Her boobs do look bigger!! This time Steve and Gary hear everything and offer to look into the matter further.

Gary thinks this is great so he adds some more wood. Indian dog Luke looks on.

Harry decides he's heard enough and has another drink.

Time to start BBQing. Barry does some ribs for appetizers and then brings out the fish he just brought up from his fishing trip to Mexico. Tuna, Wahoo, Pargo and Sierra.

After dinner we celebrate Dennis' 7th birthday (count the candles.) Susi spent all day making this beautiful cake for her 'cabin boy'.

Over Barry's feeble protests, Gary keeps feeding the fire. Higher and higher. No one was cold.

We all enjoyed the rest of the evening sitting around the fire until close to midnight. Unfortunately, we weren't able to solve all the world's problems in one evening and may have to do this all over again soon.

The fire finally starts to die down into a mass of glowing embers.

Next morning and all that's left are ashes, memories and these photos.

THANKS BARRY and ANN
