This morning we woke up a bit later than usual, and it was quite cool, overcast and a bit foggy. However, Antoinette and Heath were intent on kayaking out to the two islands and back. While they were gone, I made a frittata--eggs, cheese, green chiles, potatoes and sour cream and salsa AND breakfast sausages.
As I was cooking, Bob yelled out, "Oh shit! She's in the water!" Through the binoculars I saw Antoinette in the water, hanging on to the overturned kayak, with Heath and two other kayakers fast approaching her to help her out. I knew that it wasn't dangerous, but Bob was worried about the cold water. He descended the stairs and prepared to launch the boat to rescue her, but by the time he was ready, the other kayakers had made a bridge with their paddles for her to hoist her up onto the kayak. So back she came, soaking wet, but no worse for the wear. We met her with a towel, she took a shower, and we had breakfast. Another funny adventure (but as Bob said, "And she wasn't even drunk.") She had fallen in when she turned as she heard voices behind her (the rescue crew).
It was a rainy day, so our choices were limited today.
We left to embark on a very short excursion. A stop at the Catherine Hill winery for a tasting, with both of us buying two bottles each. Eric was a bit rushed because there were others coming in and his wife was a bit obnoxious, so my little trip was marred by a comment she made to me--which was really nothing, but a lot of something if you want your customers to buy some of your wine.
Another place we had wanted to visit to look for birds; however, it was a pretty dismal, dark day and we didn't expect to see too much. We took a drive to Petite Manan Wildlife Refuge. There was very little to see, and hear, but we did pick some wild blueberries--can we hear another YUMMY!
On the way home, we went to the "little old ladies" lobster place, Tibetts, and we bought 5 soft-shell lobsters for 29.97. Not too bad. A quick stop at the grocery store (AGAIN?) and we were on our way home. The menu was potatoes, onions, peppers; corn on the cob (done the You-Tube way in the husks and silks, four minutes in the microwave, and they fall out of their husks; lobster, and a pie (no recipe) apple blueberry.
Sad. Our guests leave tomorrow. I'll be working once they leave and perhaps another visit to the laundromat is in our immediate future. Oh well, all good things must come to an end.
I'll be there in a week!
