63 degrees w/ 3 mph winds

Day 92

I’ve tried not to think of leaving Seguin, but I know it is just around the corner.  This has been such a great chapter in my life!

 

Looking out from my computer, just started the blog for the day

Watched the Meter Shower last night, saw several, but went to bed and probably missed the main show.  Every time there is a “sky” show, wither it be the moon, etc… we see several…I’m going to guess about 15 to 20 boats of some kind “Parked” out on the horizon just SE of us, looks like a party out there with all the lights from each boat.

I went shopping in the gift shop for some birthday gifts for me!!!!

We are expecting overnight guest today, was told by someone yesterday that was visiting that it was her friend and four other young ladies.

There was a little boy who was playing with the sign at the tram that says, “Unsafe, Do not Enter”….Bandit started barking and ran down to the boy who stopped touching the sign…the parents looked back and said, “I guess he was guarding the tram and telling our son not to be there”…..this really did seem like what he was doing.

Larry’s right knee is really starting to bother him.  He twisted it the other day and it’s been hurting, but he’s put a brave face on daily. Letting it rest a little and we are going to get him into our Dr back home as soon as we return.

 

Visitors enjoying some shade and their lunch

LOTS of visitors today…I will never get tired of hearing folks come out on the catwalk and hear….WOW….in any language it’s still a fabulous view.  Several guest had their furry friends with them and I think Bandit found his girlfriend…Rosy….they ran and chased each other and had a great time!  One couple joined F.O.S.I.L….YEAH! 

Sweet couple, told us about lots of great places to visit when we leave here

3:30 A group of five kids ran up, asked if they could see the light house….yes, they went up and ran back to their boat where mom and dad were waiting.  The wind has picked up to 14 mph, temp is up to 69…sorry Texas, loving this Maine weather!!

More visitors just enjoying the views

I’ve started “cleaning” up my stuff, anticipating leaving and don’t want to wait till the last moment to gather what’s important and trash junk paperwork I thought I needed.

 

Capturing the reflection in the oil house window....pretty neat

It was 6 pm and I got to calling around to see about our overnight guest that were suppose to be coming out.  Couldn’t find anyone that knew anything.  Figured that something must have happened to cause them to cancel.  After about thirty minutes or so we heard girls giggling.  There they were five young woman, wet and exhausted looking, but laughing and happy to be up the hill.  They had a bumpy ride from somewhere around the South Port area….not really sure where.  They had gotten soaked from the waves, etc…  We did our introductions and I showed them their quarters and explained a few things…compost toilets, extra blankets, etc…  It has gotten much colder…the temp gauge says 66 degrees w/ 10 mph winds, but it feels more like 50 degrees w/ 20 mph winds.  Larry has started some Chicken Taco soup for dinner, using our grilled vegetables from last nights dinner…..the pot is full.  7:45 ish….These ladies are out and it’s getting dark, they are sitting around the picnic table having a blast snacking.  They said they were going to grill….we aren’t sure they will be able to do this in the dark…..we invited them in to have some hot Chicken Taco soup, grated cheese, sour cream, and crushed corn chips….we had a blast, they brought a delicious salad, wine and bread….one of them had made a Homemade Blueberry Pie….OMG it was fabulous.  Come to find out these ladies all new Holly who had booked the room, but they didn’t all know each other until today!  After dinner we went outside to see my little nightlight.  They showed me satellites…I didn’t know you could see them.  We also saw some shooting stars or meteors.  They went around to their side of the duplex and then I heard them screaming….snake!

Looking "through" our door.....through the other doorway..out to the other side

A good day and a wonderful evening!
