Day 103

Gooood Morning!
Woke to fog again, been this way for the last 4 days….was told we have a cold front coming…not sure what that means up here in Maine, but when I do find out, I will let ya’ll know.  Around 10:00 we were able to see the ocean and by 10:30 we could see all the way out, even though it was still alittle hazy.  Saw one small sailboat headed this way.

Larry’s feeling better and hope he continues, thank goodness Cyndy is here to help, I could do it myself, and he would help, but this way he gets to recoup and get better sooner.  She hung the flag for us today!


Breakfast this morning was kind of hodgepodge of sorts….Larry didn’t want anything but coffee, I had the last bite of pimento cheese and made a sandwich and Cyndy grabbed a piece of the blueberry pie she brought yesterday, didn’t even warm it! 

This weather is giving us the “lazy” day attitude.  Its dark, its wet, its gloomyish, I’m thinking it’s a good day for afternoon nap…..and it’s not even 11 yet.  Cyndy suggested that we could bake….that’s a good idea…after the nap!

Ethan’s bunch should be here about 11:30, so going to make sure the museum is READY!

Plans today are to work on the Kiosk…putting info on the other side and putting that same info in the restroom.  Then we are going to cut the wood for the corner of the well house, won’t be able to paint until it dries up a little more. 

Ethan’s group didn’t show, so I’m guessing people are back at work since a lot of kids started back to school today….I only know this because my grandbabies started back today. 

So we went swimming, suits were optional, that’s all I will say about that!  Afterwards I saw my first baby seal swimming in the cove, he was so close to shore, but I guess we scared him. 

Lunch…Chicken Noodle Soup and crackers.

Cyndy and I picked up the shingles from under the tram….hung info in the restroom and the kiosk.  I also worked on the area around the kiosk…a lobster cage and some lobster buoys were just chunked up there….I kinda made it pretty.   We burnt all the wood in the burn bucket from the Whistle House and paper down on the sand in the cove. While we were watching the fire, a sailboat came into the cove so Cyndy came up with the couple to give them tours.  I stayed to watch the fire…and find sea glass.  Cyndy came back a while later and the couple were going to take a few trails before they came back and spent the night in the cove.  We finished burning and stayed till the tide came up and we were sure all the ashes were gone.  While she was gone, the fog started coming in, having seen the movie “The Fog”, this moment in time could have been a little scary.  The fog lifted as quickly as it came.


Bandit found him a sea gull who he felt needed to be chased!  Bandit gets so excited when he knows we are headed to the cove… he romps and runs on the sand…he’s gotten good at knowing the waves.  I hate leaving him on Wednesdays, he loves to go with us to town.


Its 5:00 and its getting dark and I’m tired…Cyndy can wear you out.  Showers and time to plan dinner….thinking about fixin breakfast for dinner! 
 
Look visitors dingy has wheels....I want wheels for my dingy!!

We never got to cutting the wood for the pump house….will leave it on the list!

Cyndy’s going to go blackberry hunting in the morning after she gets me off the island. 

Time to make our list and start getting things ready to go to shore tomorrow morning.

Cyndy fixed dinner….Breakfast Burritos and Blueberry Pie!


Card game and then time for bed…Ethan arrives EARLY in the morning!
