Martha's Vineyard - Day 4

Our primary reason for going to Martha's Vineyard is not to see the sights or wander through the shops.  Our primary reason is always to enjoy the peacefulness of the island and the fellowship of good friends.   Our last full day there epitomized these reasons.

We started the day with lots of good coffee and conversation in the Wheeler kitchen. 

Geoff makes eggs and sausage for brunch

Then, Linda and Julie spent a couple of hours looking through Julie's amazing craft closet . . . a veritable cornucopia (how's that for a trite expression?) of knitting books, patterns and yarn.   Linda was in Knitting Heaven.

In the early afternoon, Linda and Frank went to for a long visit with Betty.  What a blessing that was.  Linda presented Betty with the shawl she had made with the yarn that Julie had given her.


Doesn't she look pretty?

There was even a random knitter in the sun room.

Another random knitter for Linda's collection . . . lol

For dinner we went to the Lookout Tavern overlooking the water in Oak Bluffs.  We sat on the porch and breathed deeply of the salt air and ambiance . . .it was one of those Margaritaville places.

We expected to see Jimmy Buffett at any minute
Julie and Geoff . . . our handsome hosts
Another wonderful day on Martha's Vineyard was coming to a close, and we wanted to wring every last precious memory out of it.   It is a blessing to have such good friends as the Wheelers.  They have made our stay here so lovely.  We will miss them.
