64 degrees w/ 16 mph winds

Day 89

Woke early to a beautiful morning….found my friend, Trayce, out on my lawn rock taking photos.  She’s trying to soak up as much of this place as she can before they leave today.  We sat out on the front porch drinking our coffee and talking about the time we’ve had out here.   Our  guy’s, Larry and Ted, finally arrived and we continued to sit, drink coffee and have good fellowship.  The waves below are intense, high and crashing against the rocks below.  I noticed for the first time that I don’t have a green & white sign on the porch stating this is the museum side…I’ll work on that later.

Breakfast….Fried eggs, grilled potatoes w/ onions, bacon & toast!  What a wonderful way to start the day!

I’ve now got some twinkle lights in the gift shop thanks to Trayce helping put them up in the rafters.  It adds a little something!

Only flower I found like this on the island...planted by a previous keeper down close to the Donkey Engine House

Sales and donations were great yesterday.  I had visitors that would buy a t-shirt for $12…hand me a $20 and say “Keep the change as a donation”, then they would see something else, or another member of the family would want a t-shirt and they would do the same thing.

I felt like dressing up a little today..it’s my birthday week!!

 

Old Rusty ring off the south side of the cove...it's about 8" diam

I’ve got to go into shore to today with our friends, Trayce and Ted….catching a ride on board the ferry with Ethan.  Taking them to Portland to catch their flight.

They don't want to go....And I would keep them...but life calls out and demands they go!

Had a few more visitors, had some leftover lobster for dinner and settled in and watched a movie before going to bed. 

WOW
