Another family visit - from Boston

June 19, 2010
Broad Brook, CT

Geri's niece, Cindy, recently relocated from Santa Barbara to Boston (yes, everyone tells them they're going in the wrong direction but her husband, Mike got a good job offer so off you go), so they came down with their daughter, Jennifer, for the day. We had another full house, with Geri's sons Peter (with Josh & Belle) and Chris (with Christine and Lindsay, and their dog "Pepper") stopping by in addition to all the family members from Friday. We had a great visit, did some burgers and hot dogs on the grill, and generally enjoyed a beautiful, sunny (for a change) day.

As with many of our get-togethers, this one had two shifts. In the evening, Mike & Lynne stopped by, mike carrying 6 pounds of steamers and two dozen oysters. Their daughter, Alyson, brought them back fresh from Rhode Island earlier in the day. Note to self: get seafood from Rhode Island over Costco every time. Al did up the clams on the grill and I broke out the oyster knife (always have the right tool for the job). Were those oysters ever good! Fresh and clean, with just a hint of the ocean, they didn't need any "doctoring up", although some people still used the hot or cocktail sauce. Mmmm.
