Ok…it’s go ashore day and I didn’t look at the weather machine

Day 111

My mother and sister arrived late yesterday, then my brothers both arrived this morning….This is my siblings first time to stay on the island.  

 

My sister Penny and our Momma

Sent Larry to town to do our final grocery shopping, to do the laundry and then to go to the Portland Bus station and pick up my cousins.

Breakfast….Blueberry pancakes and bacon…thinking Blueberry Pancakes are going to be a staple for the next couple of days.

WW came out, first it was five, then Cyndy and Anne showed up…..they worked hard all day and I was able to get lots of great photos!!  CG came out to work on our light in the tower, it went off the other day when the power went out.  We had called the CG, and they walked Larry through how to reset it, but it didn’t work….so they are now out here working on it…they said they fixed it!!! YEAH!

Spent the day with my family, going to the cove, walking the cove trail, hanging out and talking….I’ve missed everyone.

Later…Ethan arrived with Larry and my cousins, Dana and Raymond…they aren’t Texans…they’re from Oklahoma…we don’t hold that against them.

My warriors left for the last time for me…we exchanged hugs and goodbye’s…they are a extra special group of workers…giving of their time and I’m sure a lot more!!

Larry had lots of help getting the supplies up the tram….I didn’t lift a finger except to go down and “offer” to help…between my brothers and my cousin and Larry, they had it covered….so I guess you could say it took three guys to do my job!!!!!  I’m going to rub that one in real good!!!!

It’s a little tight quarters for us tonight, but thank goodness we all love each other.
