Wendy and Sarah made a suprise visit. They had come over to the island to hear a reading by a friend of Wendy's at Hedgebrook which is sort of a retreat for women writers. After the reading they dropped by.

Katie and Mike had spent the day with me and were still here. Mike (who will be 2 in October) proceeded to put on a show flirting with Sarah. (Katie and Sarah are cousins.)

We are not sure whether to now refer to Mike as Joe Cool or The Stud. Wendy and Katie assure me that most men do not outgrow this behavior.
