65 degrees w/ 4 mph winds
Day 101
Woke to hazy day. It had rained some, but looked like it would
clear off. Nope….the fog came in about
8am and then it started raining. We had
Breakfast Burritos and while we were eating we saw two people in raincoats go
by the window. Larry hopped up and went
to greet them. He headed around to go
into the museum, and give them a tour of the tower, etc… When they had finished it was raining pretty
heavy so Larry was setting with them on the front porch. They were still talking about the island and
all that we do, what the F.O.S.I.L. group does, they had left Portland at 5am. Larry got them to come in and have coffee with
us. It was a pleasure to have them in
out of the cold and wet and they were very thankful. They finished their coffee’s and wanted to
head back down the hill and continue to Monhegan.
By 8:30 it was raining harder. Fog horn is going off. Can see off onto the
ocean some through the haze. Not sure if
our family members will be able to make it off the island today…they are flying
back to Texas.
Bandit went outside at sometime and then he was
barking to tell us he wanted back in…looked like a little orphan sitting there
wet, with the rain still coming down!
Texted Ethan and he is coming, so my guest are
starting to pack and get ready. Big
group from Ethan….about 23 were all for one ladies birthday…they had been
planning this for a while.
Also met a
gentleman and his son, Stephan Frizzell and Ben Frizzell, Stephan had served in
the USCG and was stationed temporarily here on Seguin in 1965. Wish I could have spent a little more time
with him.
Went down to tell my family
goodbye and help the other out to Ethan’s boat.
Found some sea glass and gave some to Stephan and Ben…they were
intrigued with it….wow…a little piece of Seguin to go home with them. I thanked him for serving out here…what a
pleasure to meet him. He was so quiet, I
be he could have shared some stories!

Another group from their own boat came, they are
Friends of Seguin, they were enlightened about possibly staying out her on the
island in the guest quarters.
Lunch… we snacked on some leftovers and decided
to do a little reading while it wasn’t the best outside.

The fog lifted a little for all the visitors,
but around 4:30 it became very thick.
Called Cyndy about the dimensions of our little
wagon. It seemed to do very well on
bringing supplies up the hill since the Tram isn’t useable…but it’s little
front wheels are broke…she is trying to get another one.
Wow…time has flown. I love it here on Seguin. The sun is bright, the fog is thick, the horn
is sounding, the waves are crashing, the sea gulls are squawking, the Flag high
and proud and is flapping….and I’m breathing and smiling and thanking God for
this time in my life, for all the many wonderful “Mainers” I’ve met and now
call friends, for being able to “re-live” a moment in history! Blessed, Blessed, Blessed!
My mother will be returning with my siblings
this coming Thursday. They will only
have a few days to spend with us, to let mom share her and dad’s life out
here. Praying that all works well…from
their flight, their travel by car, their boat trip out here, their time here,
the boat trip back to land, and their travel and flight back to Texas….Praying!
Had a wonderful time with my Uncle and
Aunt. Looking at him and hearing him
talk, allowed me to at moments take a step back in time and imagine my daddy,
his brother, out here on the island. We
laughed, shared stories, went on island adventures, enjoyed good food, and made
memories!
When you read my writings, this blog, emails,
text, etc… I tend to use !! a lot I get
excited about what I’m talking about…sometimes I want to put an exclamation mark
in front of my sentence to tell you I’m excited at the beginning!!
Dinner….not tonight!
When I went to look at the photo’s I took today
to add to my blog…I still had it on nighttime photography so most of my shots
have a lot of white in them, a few turned out ok.
