59 degrees w/ 6 mph winds

Day 57

I woke a little before 7, I could hear the rest of my family sleeping…it’s quiet!  Today is their last day on the island.  It’s also my son, Matthew’s Birthday!

Sherri, my daughter in law is planning on making him his favorite cake…it’s a multicolored, swirled Pound Cake.

Going to try and get Lobster to celebrate today!!

My mother never had the chance to share this experience with the rest of her family.  I have so enjoyed looking at my gb’s eyes as they look at the light and the water, as they roll down the hill in front of the house, as they search for sea glass down in the cove.  I am blessed!

Ethan is going to take them back to shore when he drops off a group of volunteer workers.  They still want to visit a few spots around Maine before the long trip back to Texas.

It got up to 77 degrees today, but the wind has kept it pleasant.

Ethan brought a group of visitors and we had several other individual boat come ashore.  I love it when I ask if they would like to go up the tower and they are in awe.  Then when I get through telling them about the light and tower history I start to open the catwalk door and they get excited.  The first words are always in amazement….I love it!  One couple later on in the evening only spoke little English, I think they were from Germany, if I had to guess. They only wanted to see the tower and were amazed…no interpretation needed! 

Lots of donations today by some great people!!

Gb’s went and made sandcastles in the cove.

We had some lobster delivered and the kids enjoyed it for lunch.  Me….I just ate the mash potatoes.

My grandkids painted some rocks and a couple came up and we invited their two yr old daughter, Hazel to paint with us…then they took the tours and bought some t-shirts and donated!

Dinner….chicken strips and asparagus.

We spent as much time with the babies as we could tonight.  The sunset was spectacular.

I had several great photo's, but I've already waited almost an hour for the computer to let me have my photos to put on this blog...guess it's tired....sorry, will try to get them posted later.
