66 degrees w/
11 mph winds
Day 99
Went to sleep in the fog and woke to fog, so
naturally that means the fog horn was constant…but it doesn’t bother us any.
 |
| These little critters have been coming in during the night....yuck |
Breakfast….coffee!
Worked in the gift shop with some tshirts that
we are going to put on SALE….rearranged some of the shelves

Wasn’t sure if Ethan would be coming out or not,
didn’t hear till right before they left Popham.
I’m glad he came out…he had two of our family members with him, Andy and
Donna Howard, Andy is my dad’s little brother, he was a Sophomore/Junior when
we were out here. They are going to stay
a few nights. Praying for the fog to
lift so they can see the spectacular 360 degree view from here. Ethan only had a total of eight visitors and
one puppy. Tours were quick and off they
went to go on the South Trail, then back down to the cove to go back. Made Ethan and Brook lunch…they are general
surprised and are very gracious.

Lunch…Ham & Cheese sandwiches with lettuce
from my garden and sliced tomatoes…and chips.
Donna had brought a zucchini break/cake that Judy had made…OMG!
Visitors left and we didn’t have anyone else
come up. Bob…a sailboat in the cove,
came up and said hi while we were waiting on Ethan…anyway, he said he might
come up, he just always likes to stop here.
He said he wouldn’t bother us if he did decide to come up….so we didn’t
hear from anyone else the rest of the day.
Gave my guest a tour of the museum and tower…Donna
purchased a couple of t-shirts. Larry
and Andy caught a quick nap. When they
woke, we took off on the South Trail.
Thought the fog might be lifting for a moment, but nope it was still think
when we arrived back at the top. I got
to share life from 1960-61 with them.
Things mom and dad did and didn’t do, etc… Later we went out and looked at the
lighthouse “doing it’s thing”.

| Found these beautiful flowers...only one bunch on the entire island...way off away from everything |
Dinner….OMG…Thank you Judy and James….these are
Donna’s brother and sister-in-law that live here in Maine. They sent us ribs, that we grilled, baking
potatoes and corn on the cob…I had some rolls and all the trimmings for the
baked potatoes! Delicious!!! When the dishes were done we started playing
cards, having a great time, then I realized I hadn’t done my blog…so here it
is. Praying that the fog clears and
weather is good so they can see this beautiful place and that our overnight
guest will be able to make it out here tomorrow and that my personal guest can
make it back on Sunday.

So it was foggy all day and the temp never went
above 68…we did need relief from the heat of the last four days!
