65 degrees w/ 7 mph winds
Day 105
Woke to something odd this morning…there is a
bright object coming in the windows, so when I looked out there was more
oddities…lots of blue wet stuff below and ….yes I’m being silly…the sun was bright
and the fog was gone. Being able to wake
to this beautiful site in the mornings is so fabulous.

| Beautiful isn't it! |
Breakfast… Blueberry pancakes, using those delicious blueberries that Anne
had so graciously given me yesterday….handpicked blueberries…Thinking about one
of my wonderful doctors back home…in the nurses lounge he would fix himself a
healthy breakfast/snack of blueberries, oatmeal and yogurt…Morning Dr. Tom
Purgett!

It was alittle before 9 and I could hear
voices…Bandit hadn’t moved from the front porch, looked around and couldn’t
find anyone, then we finally spotted a couple, They have been sailing for a
year and they are from Brazil….WOW! They
loved the island.
A gentleman Buz, who
brought his daughter and her family…he’s a charter member of F.O.S.I.L., and
his daughter was first on the island 40 yrs ago…before she was born, her mother
was expecting her. The kids loved
Bandit, and I think he felt mutual.

A young man came up today, he’s eleven years
older than me…he said that we probably met back when I was a toddler here on
Seguin…he said they visited several time during my stay, pretty neat.
Had lots of new folks out today, which means
I get to share ALL of Seguin’s information.
I did find out that schools here in Maine don’t start till next Tuesday
or Wednesday…so people are still out with their kids vacationing before the
kids start back to school. Another older
gentleman, John Veasey, told me some wonderful stories, he told me he had come
to Seguin in 1949…he told me about the submarine Squalis, which sank in 1939
off the shore of Isle of Sholes (sp?).

Saw that Ken had brought out the “Keepers”
board…Larry and my name. It hangs in the
Gift Shop…..I’m proud to have been a part of Seguin this summer. Daddy’s name
is going to be put up next week and my name is now up on the wall…yes my eyes
are wet.
Surprise….Ethan made a second trip, must be
making up for Tuesday when he didn’t get to come because of the weather. I was up in the tower with some visitors, so I
stayed up there to continue giving the tower tours with this next group. One
gentleman came just to see the Fresnel Lens.
He was very fascinated with ours and loved seeing it! Another lady was very scared of heights, but
she wanted to go out on the catwalk so much…I told her my fears of heights and
told her how I hold on to the rail, etc…she came out and was so impressed with
the sight from the tower…she was so glad she had come up.
Knew since Ethan and Brook had come out again
that they were probably hungry…I made them a ham and cheese sandwich with fresh
lettuce from my garden and grabbed a bag of chips, some cookies in a ziplock
and had a jug of sweet tea….I hurried down the ramp as soon as I finished the
tower tours and Brook came back to shore with Pepper, Ethan’s puppy. Pepper had some energy to release and had a
blast on shore with Bandit. Brook took
the food back to the boat…Hope they enjoyed it!
Now I need to get back up and fix Larry some lunch…it’s 5:30, guess I
could call it dinner and be finished with cooking.
Sunset was nice, not the best I’ve seen, but it
was a good ending to the day…then I turned around and the moon was out, it wasn’t
very big, but it was full…I walked around the house trying to get the best
photo of it…hope you like it.
