Howard and boys went fishing after breakfast until lunch. No bites...well, some but not big enough for dinner. After lunch they fished again. I cleaned trailer, made a coffee cake, Jell-O, hard-boiled eggs. Went for a walk and sat on beach, read and took a bath nap. A quiet day and needed! Late afternoon boys went swimming. I sat on beach and talked with woman. Howard slept. Late supper. Showed trailer to a few families. Went for walk and to campfire that was called off! Smells so good here. Goodnight!
