Happy thirty-eighth anniversary Dennis and Margie! What a great place to celebrate your special day and we are glad they decided to share it with us on Seguin. Brenda and Margie put together a great breakfast of blueberry pancakes with hot blueberry syrup.

After breakfast Sam, Betty, Rick, Dennis and I walked the cove trail and around the east end of the island. There are many interesting rock formations here with some large veins of quartz. A lot of the rocks look like petrified wood. The others stayed around the lighthouse and gave numerous tours.

For lunch we decided to eat light and munch on whatever we had since we had an early dinner. Sam, Betty, Rick and Jennifer had to leave at 1800 to beat the rain that was forecast from Tropical Storm Danny. We cooked sirloin tips on the grill with baked potatoes, peas and pasta salad and ate outside on the picnic table. The day was cool and comfortable. Clouds started moving in later in the day.

We saw our friends off and then returned to the house to listen to the latest on “Danny”. It has been downgraded and the local concern is focused on rain amount rather than wind damage. Danny is scheduled to be here tomorrow.

We were concerned about Dennis’ eyesight after the farewell gift from Jennifer, but not to worry, it is improving.
