Day 60
Time flies when you’re having fun…and we are!
Felt good to sleep in a little longer than
usual….8:30. I guess we have finally gotten use to the sun coming up so early
and shining so bright.
Coffee!!
After breakfast of Blueberry/Walnut pancakes..this has become a norm
now!
Working on our “go ashore” list of things to do
on Wed….one of the things is that I’m going to go get my momma from the
Portland airport. She’s bringing three
more wonderful ladies with her…my aunt Jo Nell, and two of her best friends
(and my other mothers) Mary and Darlene.
We are going to have a blast.
Just the idea of us being back here, sleeping
under the same roof that we did back fifty some years ago….wow! I’m ready to hear stories that she might have
forgotten and by being here will “jog” her memory!
Larry worked down in the cove a little while
before our first set of visitors arrived.
We had about 4 individual boat loads of people….one boat was yacht. He first attempted to park in our cove, but
found he was too big. So they moved out
further and anchored….when they came up, they were
running….what???...really????...they asked if there was a flat area that they
could work out. I showed them a good
spot and they went to work. Then after
their workout they RAN the North Trail….out and back! I’m tired just writing about it.

Ethan arrived around 11:30 with his boat
full. So many great guest and only a few
had ever been here before, which is always fun to introduce them to
EVERYTHING! We had about 55 guests
today. One set of guest was a
Firefighter from Kentucky…he and Larry had a good visit.
It got quiet around 2:30, so we ate a sandwich
for lunch and rested.
After lunch Larry went back down to the cove
area to mow and weed eat, deal with the toilet down there, and worked on the
trails. Guest really like going on our
trails and when they ask which one we like best, usually that’s all they have
time for, I always suggest the south trail.
The high black cliffs and the giant waves crashing onto them is so
majestic. If they have a chance to come
back to see me…you know they need a t-shirt….they say they loved it. A young lady was so thrilled at the chance to
be a keeper in the future…you could see she was serious, so I gave her information
about the application process…maybe I will see her blogs in about 5 to 10
years!

| Bye...come back soon! |
Several sales and donations today!
I went down to the Whistle House to paint on the
signs that I’m making. I want them to be
like an “old fashioned” shingle type sign, something that will catch people’s
attention as they come up the hill.
Dinner….Larry
took some odds and ends vegetables and sautéed them together, added some
sausage and put it over rice, then added some of my cousins special sauce…wow!
