May 28

Thursday, May 28

Our oldest grandson’s birthday. Brendan Gray is twelve years old today and we are very proud. This was the first year that Brenda did not supply the birthday cake. He’ll get one when we return. Dreary day here on the island. A day to relax. Brenda worked on a puzzle and I made the trek down to the engine house to replace the door handle, check out the cove and, of course, bring the wine up!

Later on I did some electrical work in the basement, installed a new handle on the pumphouse door, cleaned the bathroom in the guest quarters, tweaked the internet connection and programmed a new Net 10 phone for caretaker use.

Right now we are sitting in the front room of the house, blankets hung on the open doors to help keep the heat in, watching TV. Yep, I figured out how to get TV coverage. Not a lot of stations, but not bad.

High temp today was only in the mid forties. This set a record in Portland for the coldest high temp on record. East winds around ten knots
