62 degrees w/ 3 mph winds
Day 91
Went to bed last night with a headache and woke with one…no it's not Larry!
Woke to a beautiful day…yes they are all
wonderful days!! The only way it could be better would be that all my family
and friends were here with us.
Temperatures are fabulous, views…..360 degrees of some of Gods majestic
work….the ocean which is LIFE. Saw a
t-shirt the other day… “Life Begins where the Sea Starts”…I would have bought
it, but a man was wearing it!
Flying both the AMERICAN Flag and the Lighthouse
Flag today…..it’s my Birthday!!!! My "1st" Birthday was on Pond Island, which we have to pass by on the way to and from the mainland to Seguin. So this Birthday is on Seguin Island. Pretty SPECIAL!
Anne Morong,
VP of F.O.S.I.L. made me a BLUEBERRY Birthday Cake!!! I’m in Maine with the
most amazing man, on Beautiful Seguin Island, and I am having Maine Blueberry
Birthday Cake….LIFE IS GOOD!

| 1st Birthday on Pond Island, Maine |
 |
| At home we always put the Birthday cards over the sink in the kitchen...so that's what I did here on Seguin |
 |
| Thanks Anne for my Wonderful Birthday Cake! |
Lots of Birthday cards that I picked up
yesterday while on shore and so many wonderful phone calls from my babies,
family and friends.
Looking out the front windows of our summer
home….I could get used to saying that, “our summer home” here in Maine. The waves are high and are hitting the rocks
below hard, the spray is high and I can hear them, seagulls are taking outside,
the lobstermen are out tooting around, we’ve got the radio playing… “Our God is
Greater” is playing, sailboats are already out and it isn’t even 8am yet. Happy Birthday to ME!!! Blessed beyond my
imagination!

Now for
Breakfast….Coffee and Birthday cake sounds good!
Had late visitors last night…they will be back
this morning, they stayed in the cove last night. It is ????? with another group of teenagers
out sailing for a week. He had the other
group of kids from a couple of weeks ago.
Later they did arrive and they did bring our water up from the bottom of
the hill…I made a batch of chocolate chip cookies for them…not much, just a
Thank You! When they found out it was my
birthday, they sang to me!!!!

My phone is now up and working thanks to my
oldest boy bringing his old phone to me….he brings me one and within two weeks
I needed it! YEAH! Larry’s new phone isn’t working, will have to
call AT&T and figure out what’s going on, but for now we do have a
connection to the outside world.
 |
| USCG Helicopter flew over today...thought it was going to land, but it kept heading out to sea |
Visitors have been fast and furious today…not
many sales though. One family had been
here several times, but always when no one was here, so they were glad to take
the tours.

Quick lunch of leftover pizza, quick because we
had more visitors coming… a couple of visitors came up about 5 pm…they were
kayakers that had come from Popham Beach….they said it only took them about 30
min…I’m impressed. They sat out on our
“sunset” bench for a while before heading back down.
Around 6:30 two men came up, they are two
Germans from Switzerland. The older man
spoke English pretty good. He had gone
to the Sam Houston University in Huntsville, Texas. The younger man spoke well, but the older man
would sometimes repeat in their language…all that to say when the young man
reached the top and looked out from the tower he said “WOW”….yep that’s what I
say!

| Our two guys from Switzerland....they LOVED the island! |
Dinner…Birthday Dinner…..shish kabobs: steak,
zucchini, yellow squash, cherry tomatoes, onions….then some baked potatoes and
a salad from my garden and Blueberry
Birthday Cake for dessert…..only thing missing is ice cream!

Going out and watch the meter showers...they will be spectacular...what a way to end my special day!
