66 degrees w 2 mph winds
Day 66
Thunderstorms last night, fog this morning with
the fog signal sounding. By 8:30 we
could tell the sun was trying to break through the fog…only thing is…now it’s
getting hot for the first time since we got here. Even my ladies that are normally cold are
getting warm!
Our overnight guest next door said they had a
good night, they have been using the little vestibule area by our front doors
as their dining room…pretty smart! This
morning they look like they are ready to go exploring the island.
My girls did great last night over on our
side….only thing is I had forgotten to get blankets brought over here, but we
did fine.
Mary woke saying, “I smell Blueberry
Pancakes!”…yep…Larry was down fixin breakfast.
He spoils me and now he’s spoiling them.
He has also known these ladies since he was 11. We sat around talking about things that
happened on our street….births, deaths, school and its events….about momma
burning the bridge! That’s another story.

Momma was telling us about when
storms/hurricanes were coming to Seguin…they would have to “Batten down the
hatches”….this meant that they would tie ropes and cables from the metal rings
and post that are sticking out of the rocks…to put over the diesel tanks
because the storms could sometimes blow them away.

We took the girls up to the tower to walk the
catwalk…they loved it…well Mary and Jo Nell did, Darlene and Momma said they
had to stay down and take photos of us from the ground. While we were up there, a group of five guys
came up to see the island….they had come by their own boat. They asked the best place to fish around the
island…I told them what the other guys had said…they toured the museum and went
down to get in their boat and go fishing.
I told him I hadn’t seen any lobster boats today…he told me that they
don’t go “lobstering” on Sundays in July and August, and maybe September…I
learn something new every day.

| Our only visitors today...they are ready to go fishing |
Lunch…it was a hodgepodge of leftovers…Hotdogs,
chicken potpie, pork loin…then there was a little dump cake left so we had to
finish it off.

| Enjoying the views |
Today we are going to tour the basement…momma’s
going to tell us about everything down there…what was the same and what is
different. There are four cisterns and
we only use one…there were oil drums in the basement, she’s not sure what they
were used for and she isn’t sure how the radiators worked.
 |
| My living room...full of company |
The girls moved back to the other side, made
beds, cleaned. We wanted to go back down
to the cove about 6:30, but the fog is thick, it’s wet outside and it’s turned
cold. We played cards while Larry
“tried” to take a nap! We can’t help it
if our laughing and giggling was too loud.
We enjoyed chocolate bars!

We are having Spaghetti and Meat Sauce with
garlic toast and salad (from my garden) for supper. It was fabulous and when we were done, the
girls went to cleaning the kitchen….talk about a great life…Larry cooks and the
girls clean…I’m here on Seguin with my love and momma, what more could I ask
for!
Let your
light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your
Father. Matthew 5:16
