Tuesday, June 23
Still overcast, no sun today. It’s not cold outside, just gray and windy. Things are supposed to get better from now on with sun and high temps in the eighties by the weekend.
Talked to Ethan a few minutes ago and we decided not to take a chance on tomorrow, but wait for Thursday. Waves in the cove have subsided but it should be safer on Thursday.
Those of you following this blog know that I am including pictures as we go. Below is a URL to a Snapfish album of Seguin pictures. I am trying to keep up with uploading to this album. So, have a look if you like:
We worked in the shop for a while today. Stained the bureau and I continued my clean-up/organization project. I walked to the cove and looked at the mess the high surf brought in. More work down there. Brenda cleaned the house and is working on her second puzzle. It has been decided that the sofa I lugged down (from the second floor) yesterday will be returned to the second floor this evening. Don’t ask, you can figure this one out…..something about décor??
While I was walking on the beach in the cove this afternoon I “felt” someone standing next to me. I looked to my right and saw Lawrence sitting on a rock. I don’t know how he shows up or why. He is just “there”. I didn’t say anything and kind of ignored him. He said “Nasty day, eh”. I replied “Yeah”. He said “You can call me Larry”. And I said “OK, Larry”. I was determined not to get involved in a conversation with someone or something I did not understand. After all, it’s kind of creepy. I keep seeing this guy who has no visible means of transportation, no apparent food and just shows up and disappears at will.
He said “Somethin bothering you?” I said “As a matter of fact, yes. I don’t know anything about you, how you get here, where you come from or anything”. “Do I need to be concerned that you are here? What do you want?”
Larry replied “I’ll answer all your questions in time”. “I’ve been on this island a long time, in fact I never leave”. Then he was gone. So, he did leave, at least as far as I’m concerned. I don’t know what is going on, but I’m pretty sure I’ll see him again.
Brenda has had some “events” of her own during the past two weeks. She didn’t want to tell me at first, but when it kept happening, she figured she better say something. There is a small desk lamp in the upstairs bedroom that turns itself on and off at will. Brenda turns it off before going to bed and a few hours later it is on. Then, during the day, it turns itself on at will. This has happened numerous times. It seems to bother her more than me. If I unplug it and it still comes on…. We may have something here. A picture of the suspect lamp is shown above.
I walked outside last night and saw the lighthouses at the Cuckolds, Pemaquid and Pond Island. Each light has its’ own characteristic. I also noticed lights on a number of buoys and heard their clanging of bells and gongs and the wind chime on our porch was sounding off. It just started raining again so I doubt I’ll see this tonight.
