Happy Mother's Day on Sullivan's Island

After church in the morning (and beach for the dogs with Dad), everyone came over to 2650 Middle St at about 1:30 p.m. John started warming up the grill for ribs while Caroline shucked the corn on the cob.

Two types of meat were served: Baby Back Ribs and some other cut of rib without bone (hey, Mom bought 'em, we just cooked 'em). The boneless rib had been marinating in ginger soy sauce for about 3 hours before going on the grill. They were the first choice and were excellent. However the ribs were excellent also.

Just before we sat down for dinner, Caroline and John toasted the two Mothers! Note "rockin' Mom" balloon in background.

but then realizing I really was a grown up and she was safe.
Sometime after the main dinner was finished, a conference skype call ensued with Claire on from Germany, David and Isabelle on from NYC, and us from here. Apparently on conference calls you can't do video of the others (or at least we couldn't figure out how to). But that didn't stop the Sullivan's Island contingent from amusing themselves by looking at their own handsome selves whilst talking.
Good after dinner conversation accompanied by Key Lime or Pecan Pie and coffee ended the affair. A good time was had by all and Aunt Beka, Papa, and Grandma filed back into the wardrobe (elevator) to head back to Narnia.
