Port Jefferson, NY, Saturday, July 20, 2024
We were headed for Stowe–our first year in our new guest house–but by a roundabout route. Our dear sister-in-law Emily was celebrating a big birthday, and Sue had baked a delicious cake.
Eastbound traffic on Long Island in the summer is not for the faint of heart, but we rolled into Port Jeff by early afternoon. The party was swell–and delicious! Emily had put on a shore dinner, with steamers, mussels, and lobsters, and we threw in some wonderful central Jersey corn.

Emily’s family had turned out in force!

And it even drew a smile from Tom!

The house was full to bursting, and we had come prepared: our first night sleeping in the Tesla, which proved to be surprisingly comfortable…with the right mattress.
