Day 58

It got up to 75 today, good winds.

Got up early to take my family to the cove to meet Ethan and his load of WW and some fabulous NAVY people.

Got as many hugs and kisses from my babies as I could before they left to head to Boothbay Harbor to go on a Whale Watching tour.  They could see Seguin from their boat….hope they told everyone about the island!

The 0 degree turn lawnmower is here and a true blessing to have.  It was put together and lessons given as to how to operate it….can I just say wow!  God is good!

Wednesday Warriors and our new friends from the NAVY

Getting it ready to go!

Each group of workers went to work, some scraping the tower cat walk and then painting.  Some worked inside, scraping paint and then painting.  Ken scraped and painted the tower entrance.  I didn’t get to see all that we being done…I was with a sweet, wonderful young 4 yr old who came with his mother, who is one of the Navy personal.  She worked, so I tried to keep him busy.  Since the gb’s had just been here I had fun stuff….we painted rocks, then he played with rubber ball, then he watched Frozen, then we painted a paper w/prepaint already on the paper…by the way…he now LOVEs Texas Tea!

Look out....here comes Cyndy!

Ken had brought water and sandwich makings and we laid that all out for everyone, and of course we had Texas Tea to serve with those sandwiches!  Everyone was so kind and worked so hard today.  I was able to give a few a tour of the museum and Larry gave the lighthouse tour.

A special “Thank You” goes out to Anne and Sue who treated us with desserts…cookies and cupcakes in ice-cream cones! 

We have had a steady group of visitors coming today, it’s 6pm and they are still coming.  We learn as much from them as they do from us.

Some of our afternoon visitors

A young Navy man and his wife were some of our volunteers today

Just found out my momma, and three other woman who have been my mommas throughout my life are coming up on Wed….YEAH!

I learned that Seguin has so much iron in the rock that sailors get a 3 to 8 degrees off from “true” north….that explains the iron in the water!

Navy gal and Navy wife working around the catwalk of our tower, scraping and painting...you go girl!

Wow it’s quiet tonight….kind of a love/hate things…loving my evenings to enjoy the island and missing those babies who cuddled with me last night…Landyn included Larry by grabbing his hand and holding it to his belly.  Now I’m finding remnants of them everywhere, a rock they found, the bag of marshmallows we aren’t going to eat, that they never got to either.

Hopefully I will be able to show you a few photo’s tonight…enjoy!
