Heat wave….72 degrees w/ 2 mph winds
Day 94
It only rained a little last night, could hear
the fog signal though. This morning the
sun is bright but there is a foggy mist on the ocean and no boats. I know the lobstermen don’t do their thing on
Sundays, but since I don’t see anyone out I’m wondering if the weather is going
to be bad? Maybe everyone just slept in.
Breakfast….Blueberry pancakes!
We are going to start using up our supplies of
food so instead of Blueberry Pancakes it’s going to be oatmeal….which is
ok! We bought several canned items for
“just in case” days, those weeks when we might be stuck out here due to the
weather, etc….we will make dinners out of, poor Larry…I’m a casserole girl, so
no telling what he will be eating, but he’s great, he will eat it and smile!
If the weather allows us we are going to finish
the kitchen dresser today. Move it back outside and will start putting on
the varnish or whatever it’s called.

Lots of folks visiting in their own boats, then
Ethan’s group arrived….so many that have never been here…I love telling the
history of Seguin, informing those from Maine how special Seguin is. Then when I tell each group about me being a
baby here, they are amazed…I know…how could I be so young and yet lived here in
1960-61…..Waters have been selling well today, at 1:00 it was only 76 degrees
w/ 3 mph winds….need a stronger wind to help with the heat. As I write…heat…I’m hearing my fellow Texans
making fun of me…they are dealing with 105 and 108 degree weather. Remember my new phrase… “Summers in
Maine”.

Had a big family come up….about 30. Great bunch of folks…introduced themselves; several
were local fisherman who have fished these waters for about 30 yrs. They loved the island, bought t-shirts. A few admitted they had never been here, but
had seen it while out and about for years.
I told them this isn’t new, that we meet folks with the same story, but
was so glad they had stopped today and visited. Two more gentleman came up shortly after them
and stayed a little after. We sat on the
front porch and had a good time talking about what was out on the water
today. They told us they were going to
stay in the cove tonight. We invited
them up to see the sunset, but didn’t see them again, nor did we have a sunset
that was worth looking at. The “haze”
was around all day, so the sunset was nonexistent.
Was going to varnish the kitchen cabinet, but we
are waiting till tomorrow morning, too late to do it today.

Dinner…Chicken pasta salad with lots of chopped
up vegetables and some of that dried tomato basil sauce my friend had bought
last week….good!
Fig Newtons and a glass of milk for dessert
while we watched a Tom Cruise movie…don’t remember the name…it’s where he is in
the military and keeps dying and reliving the last day.
