July 11 – Lantern Room Coming Along

Barb reporting in again on her, Tom & Marty’s activities:

8:30am temperature 62 degrees. barely enough wind to flutter the flag.

Humidity low.

Last night we had a nice thunderstorm between 12-4 with lots of rain. Stars were out at 4:30am but there was still a lot of wind.

This morning after a hearty pancake breakfast with sausage and Canadian bacon we worked on wire wheeling the cast iron panels in the lantern room. We worked until the batteries ran out for the tools. We cleaned up and Marty took pictures to document the work.

This afternoon I mowed and trimmed. The guys had other maintenance things to do.

Dinner was garlic parmesan pork chops and rice pilaf. Everyone is going to bed with a full belly. I took a solar shower after dinner and it felt so nice, I was so dirty and dusty.

8:30pm temperature 62 degrees F

Wind on this part of the island-none. But you can hear the waves breaking on the other side of the island.

Life if good on South Fox Island.
