Thursday, August 20

Everyone had a great day today. The weather was beautiful. Humidity was low and temperature around seventy five degrees. There was not much wind and all of us spent the day outside. Scott took the kayak out for a spin around the island. Brenda and I gave some tours. Brenda, Bernie and Mike played cards and Angela read a book. Angela got too much sun yesterday and was paying for it today. Gwenivere was the favorite of all the guests and got lots of attention.

After lunch Angela, Scott, Wesley, Gwenivere and I went to the beach and played around a while. Gwen found a stick and was very content. Wesley was talking to the other kids on the beach while Scott was climbing rocks and Angela went beachcombing.

Meanwhile Brenda and Bernie were preparing dinner. Spaghetti, garlic bread and salad were on the menu and we all enjoyed it. Wesley wanted to see “Bolt” again so I sat with him in the living room. He will be gone tomorrow and I really enjoy being with this little guy.

I am closely monitoring Hurricane “Bill”. Tonight it is near Bermuda and is forecast to be here Saturday as a category three. All of our company will be leaving tomorrow around noon. Ocean swells will be building and conditions will worsen toward evening. Don’t know how close “Bill” will come to Seguin but it will be an interesting weekend. I’m looking forward to some high wind and waves. Watching a major storm from this vantage point should be awesome.
