Monday, May 25 Memorial Day

Beautiful day. We awoke to a bright morning full of sunshine and warm temperature. Grass mowing, weed-wacking and raking up were on the agenda today. I mowed the yard and the helicopter pad and then we weed wacked the trail to the cove.

A few guests showed up. Mom and her three kids in a skiff and two couples in another boat. We gave them a lighthouse tour and they walked the trail and enjoyed picnic lunches. One boy slipped on the rocks surrounding the garden but no injuries ensued except for a broken pop bottle.

Heard from the family today and all is going well. We miss them already! My brother, Mark, called this evening and said he was trying to work things out at his job so he could bring his family up for a visit. I hope so!

I was also informed today that I am NOT the boss. Brenda is. And, you know what? She makes a pretty good one. She keeps me going. I don’t know where she gets her energy! As I am writing this she is upstairs cleaning the bathroom. I know she is tired from a full day of work but she just keeps on going…. Like the energizer bunny. I’m glad I brought her along!

Oh damn… I just remembered that she will be reading this eventually……

Still no light!
