FRANI GRACES EASTPORT.
July 17th my cousin Frani arrived to experience my new home. Frani came from Ohio via Arizona via Pennsylvania (the rooting point of us all).
This was a different type of visit - more adult oriented, but the activity level remained high as I wanted to share so much of this magic place with such a special guest. We kept very busy most of the time. Fran is now accustomed to the community sense of a small town; she recently moved from the hustle and bustle of the Phoenix-Mesa area of Arizona to the relative sane and sedate atmosphere of Hubbard, Ohio.
She was impressed with our little town on our little island. She was immediately struck by the fact that the curbing in the downtown area was granite, a fact that I had overlook after seeing it everyday for years. Now I am really gung -ho about obtaining granite steps for our front entrance.
Frani (like David and I) is really into photography. A camera accompanied each of us on all of our local adventures and Fran enjoyed documenting the beauty of our little corner of the world. I think all three of us have the ability to see the wonder of a scene or view that another person might easily miss. I guess we are lucky enough to have "the eye". I know I appreciate that gift.
We spent a day on Campobello Island and of course drove out to Head Harbor Lighthouse. Again we arrived at high tide. All the years I have spent here and with all the trips I have made to the lighthouse, I have never managed to arrive at low tide when one can actually walk out to the historic site. Guess that means I have to keep trying.
The visit was special and made me realize how fortunate I am to have loved ones in my life with whom I can share the wonders of my new adopted island home. See "my Space" (link on the right) for more photos.
