This evening, from 4 pm to 6 pm, Leonard & Beverly Meeker and their daughter, Eliza, hosted a small gathering at their home for Telfth Night. Of course, tonight is actually "Thirteenth Night" but the Meekers thought that Saturday was a better evening for a get-together. Their table was piled high with tasty foods and delicious beverages (the homemade egg nog was my favorite).
Lachlan & I watched the sunset from their large screened-in porch. The bright orange-red orb slipped out from behind the clouds just at the horizon, and sank majestically into Pamlico Sound. It was stunning.
Oh yes, one more observation --I think it's wonderful that party hosts on the island always feel comfortable greeting guests in their bare feet, even in the middle of winter.
