Ta-Ta Mary & Jeff, Who Return To Never, Never Land Today

Following all an too short stay on St. George Island, the Zehrens head back to the frozen North after five days of comparatively warm and very sunny days. We are sorry to see them go, but Mary's duties at Roberts School beckon.

Jeff enjoyed surf fishing, as one can imagine, and Mary hovered around Molly making certain she was comfortable and taking endless blood pressure measurements. Bless her for all the attention. Her mother remains grateful for her concerns.

Molly is doing quite well. Her "spells," if that is an appropriate terminology, appear to be minor and less intensive. She rests in her chair between periods of activity. She is enjoying good nights' sleep. So we are positive that we can make it though our stay here as planned.

Mary left us with gallons (it seems) of delicious vegetable soup, quite an amount of which we placed in the freezer for future use. Jeff left us with about four meals of frozen Whiting which he produced from the Gulf.

A bye-bye dinner was held last night hosted by Mary & Jeff. Now, get this: T-bone steaks prepared to a "T" on the outdoor grill, all the fresh shrimp we could handle, a delicious salad, and ice cream to top off the works. This was preceded by a "happy hour" for which Mary prepared a fantastic garlic/sour cream dip. I think we all put on some weight.

So goes the world of Saint George. It's back to normal for us with good memories of Mary & Jeff's short visit.
