We\u2019re baaack and the webcam is beaming.\u00a0 It is so good to be here.\u00a0 Tenants Harbor is perfect as always.\u00a0 Charlie went down to the East Wind to get the stored computer (once we remembered where we had put it) and came back with a perfect cup of coffee in a perfect thermos.\u00a0 We had the first morning coffee on the porch, thought about returning the thermos sometime, maybe as a Christmas gift to Tim, watched the tide and counted lobster boats and moorings.\u00a0 We set the scooter on \u201chare\u201d (as opposed to \u201cturtle\u201d) and headed to Farmer\u2019s for breakfast and the Town Office to get the 2008 Town Report<\/strong>, checked the General Store for\u00a0\u00a0 the Courier Gazette<\/strong>, and took the public-landing route home.\u00a0 Life could not be better.<\/p>\n

The first Roseledge Books Regulars came by when they saw the front door open.\u00a0 The shelves of books were still behind the bamboo curtains, but\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0we could still realize that clearly they needed William Martin\u2019s The<\/strong> Lost Constitution<\/strong> for him to read as he drives her to New England golf tournaments and Lorne Ruberstein\u2019s A Season in Dornoch: Golf and Life in ther Scottish Highlands<\/strong> for her to read as she dreams in the off-season.\u00a0 I\u2019ll leave the books at the East Wind Inn for them to pick up next time they visit in October.\u00a0 Readers rule.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow the box of over-the-winter books I ordered but did not yet read arrives.\u00a0 I\u2019ll put them on the shelves and give droppers-in first dibs.\u00a0 I\u2019ll read what\u2019s left and reorder.\u00a0 They include my annual thriller bash.\u00a0 I just finished and liked, as always, Julia Spencer-Fleming\u2019s I Shall Not Want<\/strong>, sixth in the Chief Russ Van Alstyne-Reverend Clare Ferguson series.\u00a0 I\u2019m currently reading Lisa Jackson\u2019s Lost Souls<\/strong>, a mystery set in ever wet (apparently) Baton Rouge, LA, which is not a plus, with Lee Child\u2019s Nothing to Lose<\/strong> in the wings.\u00a0 Martha Grimes\u2019 Dakota<\/strong> is a must for the title alone.\u00a0 I \u2019ll let you know if she got God\u2019s Country right.<\/p>\n

Time to indulge in wishful thinking and try to organize Charlie. He\u2019s here for only one more day and there are so many things to try, e.g. a wall-hung thing to hang wash, a little ramp to get up on the porch from the driveway on a scooter, a hanger of some sort for the new, quite wonderful Roseledge Books t-shirts, trips to the dump (actually an award-winning transfer station) and the Produce Lady\u2019s stand.\u00a0 Julie\u2019s plantings look good on their way to glorious alongside Millie\u2019s August rose hedge efforts.\u00a0 No more project reports until more guests come in July.\u00a0 It\u2019s no small task to make perfect better.<\/p>\n

The webcam is worth checking.\u00a0 It\u2019s still behind the window screen with a new photo if you click every five seconds (almost a kind of delayed animation), but Charlie cut some poplar branches so the harbor view is ever better.\u00a0 Check the tide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
