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.
