Join us at the bonfire
Bring your comfy clothes
We'll light it when the sun sinks low
And birds are on the doze
Our tummies full of clams and steaks
We roasted o're the flames
The smiles now come more quickly
Since we've learned others' names
We'll sit around in folding chairs
We've wedged into the sand
A jug of applejack or wine
Will pass from hand to hand
Suddenly someone jumps up,
and wheels around the rim
With yips and leaps
Of wild abandon
Dancing arm and limb
At that the circle
Becomes filled
With bodies head to toe
Which dance and shimmy
To the cries
Which utter from each throat
Everybody's laughing
Collapsing on the sand
A pile of helpless giggling fools
Oh boy it's all so grand

Terry, I like the way you think. I'll bring Jose, just in case, if you don't mind. :-)
Oh, Terry, that is precisely what I see in my mind's eye, what I imagine we would be like if were were all together. This post is amazing, the words and those most beautiful pictures to go with. You have such a talent for expression, you've near made it all real.
Love it, love you. :-)
Trée - Ha ha, a little Jose and who knows where the night would go :-D
Autumn - "near made it all real"... all except the people! Now if only I could wave my magic stick, and we would ALL really instantly be there...wouldn't it really be grand??
Absolutely grand! Oh, what a night that would be. :-D

Actonbell - well, you have the lovely fall colors back there to match the season - one day I'd like to see them :-D Yes, Fall is here.
I love a good bonfire esp at the beach. I bring the dogs and a nice bottle of wine and we all sit around the fire and chill out...oh so nice.
Well Terry, that's one hell of an original way to report a beach party! It works beautifully, brniging the pictures to life. Doesn't look like the summer's moving too far away there. Where in Cal are you - northern, southern?
