How can anyone be grumpy with the ocean outside of the window and a gathering of interesting people at the table drinking coffee?  I find that travel brings out the best in some people.  I made a pot of coffee at 6:30, and we are on the fourth pot at 9:30.  A few people have drifted away but the basic six or seven still gather.  I brought strawberries out.  Another woman contributed blackberries.  We found sugar in the cupboard marked “free stuff”.  Sharing stories, pouring coffee, while the wind drifts into the room from the sea.  Life is good.  No complaints here, everyone.  Mama Corinna loves you all today.
