56
degrees w/5 mph winds
Day 38
It has
rained all night with a steady drizzle.
The fog has socked us in and the fog horn has done its job and sounded
all night and day. The sound is not intrusive
at all, soft and gentle calling out over the ocean, talking to the sailors.

It’s
Sunday and here is my verse…
The Lord is my Light and my
Salvation; Psalms 27:1
Happy
Fathers Day to all the wonderful men in my life. To my Daddy, Ronald David Howard who is in
Glory now, to my grandfather, Joe Alan Pittman who is in Glory, to my husband
the father of our children, Larry, to our sons, to my Brothers, Kevin and Kris,
and to all the uncles, cousins, neighbors, friends and coworkers. Being a father is such a honorable job that
you have been blessed with. For a child
to love their father, their daddy, the man who raising them to become great men
of God…..Thank you!

We aren’t
sure if we will still be seeing our overnight guest tonight. The waves are high and rough. Not sure if the fog is just up around the top of this rock, or if
it covers the water. Makes me think of
those who are out at sea and look for the light to guide them to safety.
Today was
a lazy day of sleeping in, then breakfast….yes blueberry pancakes!! Some Bible reading and then relaxing. Larry has received many text and calls
wishing him a Happy Fathers day!!
Lunch of
leftover chicken potpie and a nap. What
a beautiful Sunday afternoon. No not
because the sun isn’t shining or anything like that, but because I am here on
the beautiful rock, off the coast of Maine, which I have come to find so
breathtaking. I know I talk a lot about
the sights and sounds, but they are surreal…the waves crashing, the winds
blowing, the birds calling, the clouds as they make their marks across the
sky. As I look to the East….Spain is
3000 miles away…Texas is only 2000 from here.
The vastness of what we see daily is a blessing.
I’ve
promised Larry I would make banana bread out of the bananas that are left
before they go bad. He’s going to make
fried chicken tonight for dinner…he loves to cook and I love for him to cook!

Last
night as I was sitting on the couch I saw a bright star falling, it lasted long
enough that I was able to realize what it was and then get Larry’s attention to
see it. I’ve seen falling stars before
but this one was so bright, I guess since it was so dark out to sea.

About 7:30
pm the sun tried to break through and it did break up the dark clouds
some. Not much of a sunset but it is a
beautiful sight to our day. The seas
seemed to settle a little, so we could get our overnight guest, but I doubt
it. The sea dictates what you do and don’t
do on them.

Happy
Birthday to my brother-in-law…John! Also
he and my sister, Penny just celebrated their 26th Anniversary!
