62 degrees w/ 11 mph winds
Day 50

What a wonderful day to wake, some of our children are here with us and two of our grandchildren.  Its beautiful outside, and we get to share this great adventure with our family.  

Can’t wait till the others get here on Monday!!

Breakfast of champions…cheesy scrambled eggs, sausage, grill potatoes, and toast.

My one year old grandson, Kaleb, was helping me sweep the museum….a future keeper, 50 yrs from now….2065!  He can tell how when he was a baby, he came and stayed here, etc…etc…

Took a video of him climbing the stair and sent it to my mother back home in Texas….just like me at that age!

We had several boats come into our cove and they brought lots of new to the island visitors.  Got to share my story and the story of Seguin with so many.  I hope I got everyone to sign my guest book.  One lady came who you could tell she LOVED lighthouses.  She was wearing a shirt with an emblem about lighthouse association.  I should have written it down.  Her lighthouse passport was filled with over 50 stamps of the different lighthouses she’s visited.

Lunch…too busy to eat…too many tours to give…I even involved my kids into helping give the tours.

Another visitor today....a baby seal
With gorgeous days like this we got visitors coming in all day.  I would sometimes forget which group I told something to…and would have to ask them if I had already said something.  Everyone was gracious.

Well….I murdered 10 innocent Maine Lobsters tonight…a first for me…and yes, I screamed as my son brought them in to the pot of water I had boiling!   I made a garlic infused butter to go with them, some baby potatoes and corn. All the family enjoyed them, except for Katie and I who had leftover meatloaf….I’m allergic to seafood, she just doesn’t like it!

We knew we would be having a helicopter come to land on the island about 6:45 pm.  They had made previous arrangements to come out and take sunset engagement photos….We were excited when we saw the helicopter land and was happy for the couple for them to experience the photo shoot out here.  Apparently this was a surprise for them and they didn’t know about coming out until the last minute.  We waved goodbye and saw them off into the sunset.
