59 degrees w/ 3 mph winds
Day 114
My mother leaves today….it’s been 55 years since
she first stepped foot on Seguin and today will be her last day to stand on
this beautiful place…a place of History, our history….a place of Beauty….a
place so beautiful that it stays with you your entire life!

My sister woke with a migraine…this is something
she has had to deal with her entire life….we gave her the drugs needed and put
her back to bed, but with a houseful of folks…not sure if she is able to sleep,
even with us being quiet…so outdoors we go.

Breakfast….yep…Blueberry Pancakes and sausage
patties…with the Maple syrup Anne gave us as well as the Hickory smoked syrup
Raymond made back in Oklahoma.
Everyone is out on the porch soaking in….everything!
We have to spend what little time we have with
my family until we take them to the cove to meet Ethan. They fly back to Texas tomorrow.
We think we are going to start taking our things
down to the Donkey Engine House so we will be better prepared for Monday.
Our overnight guest arrived and it was Kim…one
of my WW! I got to meet her husband and
their friends.
Wasn’t expecting Ethan to have a group of
visitors today, but that’s ok….lots of first timers! Picnics all over the yard...People talking
with momma about her life here on Seguin and I’m loving listening to her tell
the stories…back in the day.

Dinner…Spaghetti w/ Meat sauce, garlic cheddar
toast, dump cake for dessert! We will be
leaving some food for the next people…I overbought for my family…I didn’t want
them to get hungry.

| Lots of individual boats in the cove |
Just found out from my internet provider that I
have till midnight or I have to purchase another month…don’t think one more
blog is worth $50.00….so with that said this is my LAST blog….I can blog till
midnight!
We leave Monday at 1:30…I will be saying “Good
Bye” to this place…and I will be crying, which I’m trying not to at this
moment!
I want to THANK all the F.O.S.I.L. members for
making us feel welcome.
Thank you
to Cyndy,
you talked to me many times before we left Texas, you came and showed us “how”
to live out here, you invited us into your home, I’ve spent many nights there,
you continued to “Be There” for us…calling, getting things we needed, etc….
Thank you
Ken and Dot
for your generosity, for letting us spend the night at your home, for calling
me to see if I needed anything out here on this island…and so much more.
Thank you
to all “my” Wednesday Warriors….I am so impressed with all the work you have
done while we were here and all the work I know that still needs to be
done. Jeff, Ken, Rick, Tom, Kim, Cyndy,
Anne and many others!
Thank you
to Deb
for making us feel so welcome, for checking in on us, for being in charge of
this wonderful organization.
Thank you
Anne…you
will never know how much you helped us…thanks for My Birthday Cake, the
tomatoes, the syrup, and much more.
Thank you
to Catherine
who put up with me and “my” way of doing the inventory/visitors logs/gift shop
sales…always making sure we knew about upcoming overnight guest.
Thank you
Nat for
what you do with all the inventory, keeping me going with all my wares to sale!
Thank you
to Ethan
(& Pepper)….we put our lives in your hand each and every time…you
rearranged your schedule to help our family come out to enjoy Seguin, you got
us to and from shore weekly to get all our supplies…you let my brother borrow a
fishing pole to play along the beach…and so much more.
I know there are folks that I will wake up in
the middle of the night upset that I forgot to mention you by name…so many
wonderful people in the organization…Thank You!
We will
miss you Seguin…
Larry and T’Ann
