Sunday, August 23

“Bill” is passing by today, but well out to sea. The only effects we have are the waves. The day is hot and humid and mostly sunny. Brenda and I took a walk from Cove to Cobblestone along the rocks. Waves were fifteen feet or so and it was impressive. I took a lot of pictures but I can not recreate the experience. Like I mentioned yesterday, this is a sensual experience.

The cove is a mess. A large area of flotsam has been created consisting of tree limbs, logs, Styrofoam, plastic containers, pallets and all kinds of stuff that floats. This has washed in during the high surf and I hope most of it washes out. Otherwise you know what I’ll be doing for the next few days.

Brenda put a coat of paint on the ceiling and also painted the woodwork. Like everything else she has done, it looks great.

After dinner we watched the guy try to win a million dollars on “Millionaire”. I believe we have been winners this summer as well. How many people get the opportunity to do what we have done? Worth a million bucks?

You bet!
