54
degrees w/8 mph winds
Day 40
Wow…40
days, it seems like it’s only been a week.
The clouds are thick, but it’s bright outside this morning with some
drizzle. Stayed up late last night
trying to get my blog to post, but everything was running in super slow
mode. I finally got it to post this
morning, but it wasn’t much faster.
Praying my computer wakes and does its job for the rest of the time we
are out here.
Tuesday
mornings are usually the time we drink coffee and get out our list of what
needs to be done while we are ashore.
Listing to the weather station on the radio we aren’t sure if tomorrow
will be a good day for Ethan to come get us.

One of
our list is for food…trying to plan a menu and get all those little items that
are usually in your pantry or you could borrow from a neighbor have made us
better meal planners. Another thing we
have learned on this island is to make smaller meals. I still tend to make enough for our entire
family…cooking for two is different. We
want to find a local fish market…we find all kinds of places for lobster and
that kind of seafood, I’m wanting some fish! Our second list is everything we
need to do besides the grocery store. If
we need any prescription filled and picked up, paint supplies or repair items
from Rodgers or shampoo, etc… We also
have a list for the Friends of Seguin office where we turn in our sales and
pick up new items to stock the gift shop.
We get our mail from the office and talk with Catherine about anything
we might need to know. And of course we
have to plan where we want to eat breakfast and lunch! We also have to do laundry…I miss my washer
and dryer! Washer and dryer or island
living? I choose the island!
We had
about two hours of thunderstorms today with thick fog around the island. A day to sit inside and rest, take a nap,
watch a movie on the computer, play card games or all the above!
Spaghetti
sounded good for a late lunch and early dinner with garlic toast.
The sun
has since come out and the fog slowly faded away. I haven’t had to water my vegetable garden
since I planted it. It rains every
couple of days and does the work for me.
Not too many photo’s I can take during the rain.
Ethan thinks it will be ok to go ashore tomorrow.

The rain
let up but just for a little while.
Around 8 pm the thunderstorms started.
I’ve got a few photos of what it looked like at 9 pm.
I had two seagulls out on the lawn, one flew
away when I came out on the porch, but the other one must have something wrong
with him…he’s been out there for most of the day and didn’t fly off anytime I
went out to look at the weather.
