72 degrees w/ 0 mph winds….it’s going to be warm
today!
Day 112
Woke to the fog horn this morning. The house was FULL of sleepy family members…it’s
nice that we have two blowup mattresses and that our couch is a futon and makes
a bed for two, and we have a second bedroom with a full bed, as well as a
cot/couch at the top of our stairs…but it only sleeps one. Those that are awake and drinking coffee are
taking in the 360 degree views.

| Breakfast on Seguin |
We only had to get a few grocery items
yesterday, we had all our leftover supplies from the summer….we never wanted to
be caught needing. What we don’t eat, we
will leave and hopefully those that are staying till Columbus Day can enjoy.

Guess what we are having for breakfast????? Blueberry Pancakes and bacon…we have decided
that is what our families are really looking forward to when they come to
Maine. PLUS…my cousin brought his homemade
Hickory Smoked Syrup…it is delicious!

| Seen more of these creatures in the last week than all of the summer |
I forgot to tell you that when Anne, the VP of
F.O.S.I.L. came yesterday, she brought me some goodies from her garden…two
beautiful large tomatoes!! We are
looking forward to eating them.
Maine…you can keep your biting flies….vampire
flies….they love my ankles…..ouch!
Beverly told me to be ready so I brought those “OFF” battery flavored
fans and they are working…when I remember to get one.
No visitors before Ethan’s group arrived…he only
had about 20…so we were able to spend a little more time with each little
group. We did have a few boats come but
not many.

| Visitors |
Lunch was a hodgepodge of sorts....with so many
to feed, I told them to just eat whatever was left in the fridge.

The weather has been a little hazy all day, and the fog horn has gone on and off all day... and
we eventually got a storm from the north.
We heard a little thunder and saw a few flashes of lightening…then finally
the rain began…at first it was heavy, lasting about ten minutes…and then one of
God’s miracles…a rainbow!

My brothers and I headed to the cove to pickup
our…I mean their dinner…Lobster! I’m allergic so I don’t get to enjoy the fruit
of the sea….I did get to watch them retrieve them from the sea…Jackson had left
them for us in the cove. My cousins
husband, Ray, is a Chef…so I gave him full range of the kitchen, and I love
it. So we had a Lobster boil….Lobster,
corn on the cob, potatoes, garlic butter…and homemade banana pudding!
 |
| Kris checking out the Lobster!! |
I’m stressing a little….trying to figure out
about leaving….packing/cleaning/remembering to tell the next keepers stuff/sad
that we are leaving/excited to get back to the real world/sad I’m leaving
Seguin/excited my family is here…tomorrow I want Momma to put dad’s name plate
on the wall in the Museum.

Ok folks…my Momma NEVER went out on the catwalk….never
when she was here in 1960-61…never in 2008 when we came and visited Seguin and
I found out about the “summer keepers”…never when she came out last month with
her three friends….but today….she went out on the catwalk!
 |
| Momma on the catwalk...a 1st! |
We enjoyed the sunset…then a card game around
the table to end the night.
 |
| Kris and Momma, we went to check out the Whistle House and the site of the other house |
My family is so excited to be here…here on
Seguin…some for the first time ever, some for their second time. They are loving the morning time…which it is
my favorite….ok, they are loving the entire time…all the way to the sunset!
