It made a profusion of colors, which is what I was trying to capture here. We often had towels draped on the railing of the deck porch, plus swim suits and various other things hung on the clothes-line beside the house. Jenny was five during that summer, as was Alison (I think) and I suspect that red-headed Kristin was four-ish. On this occasion, our lawyer/friend Steve Froling had come for the weekend, with his two daughters Kristen and Alison. We invited various people out to visit, and usually had Jenny and/or Marian Nash with us on most weekends. We took the house on Memorial Day weekend, and kept it through Labor Day - though we decided, sometime later, to actually spend the month of August over in Europe. In the summer of 1976, we rented a house from the daugher of Toni's godmother, Jane Perrin, in the little enclave of Robbins Rest, west of Ocean Beach, on Fire Island.
