Porpoises, Sunset, and Uncle Bunyan

We met Uncle Bunyan and Aunt Evadeane at the O Garden and enjoyed a wonderful salad with warm bread sticks before our main dish. Evadeane entertained us with her world travel stories of whale watching and polar bear watching, and Uncle Bunyan watching. He got caught in an esculator in France and took a bad fall that knocked him out for a while and broke his thumb. She watched from the top of the esculator and yelled for someone to help him. She couldn't leave her baggage unattended you know. Uncle Bunyan and I exchanged smiles across the table as she was rambling. I wanted to hug him. When I did hug him, it felt warm and comforting. He has soft skin like Mom had. We all enjoyed a wonderful sunset ride on the fairy, and the porpoises graced our presence with their darling selves. Evadeane befriended a lost soul and gave him some money; she almost cried at the realization that not everyone lives like she does. Bunyan and I had a short moment alone at the front of the fairy. Some salt water made its way into his eye and burned him a little bit. We pointed to a distant fire on Bolivar, pilot boats, Seawolf Park, the lighthouse, the other fairy......then she returned and mumbled something about not doing her own nails. She did a good job driving over there. She only ran one stop sign. We made our way back to TC and said our goodbyes. I enjoyed their visit.
