We had “the usual suspects” over (as Chhavi would say) — Marlon, Lee, Armando, Adam — as well as some others we’d never had over, such as the Hanser Show, Ann and Jen.

From Chhavi’s side, so to speak, came Sheenagh, Tammy, and Sheenagh’s friend from Germany, who was either Paulo (which is a Brazilian female name) or Faulo (which is something new to me, and I probably misspelled it even if it’s the correct name).

At any rate, it was an enjoyable day.

We had brunch here, then went to the beach around 2:30 or 3:00. Afterwards, we came back to the house, stopping off at Stop and Shop to pick up ice cream for desert.

(We’d wanted to get some at an ice cream shop on the way home, but the line was out the door and down the street and we decided it wasn’t worth the wait.)
