September 2026 Island Trip – Day 5

Today has been more prep for tomorrow and,

• My neighbor to the east took me to her friend’s farm where her friend picked beautiful dahlias for us for tomorrow.
• I finished the remainder of the shopping, including finding Meyer lemons and picking up the oysters!
• The Kuku is prepped, which will save quite a lot of time tomorrow.
• Our buddy called me to say he could be at the property in 30-minutes and help us reinstall Stella’s couch!!! I did not expect this today, and am over the moon 🌝 to have this piece of the project complete! The whole place is just calmer with the new upholstery, and it works so well with the flooring.
• My DH and I turned his office trailer, Lady Jane Grey (LJG), into accommodations for his daughter and her friend! This is where I learned that spending $15 on gadgets that are purported to cinch up oversized bedsheets to fit non-standard sized mattresses are not going to keep me from wanting to tailor those sheets 😏. My daughter arrived in the middle of making beds, helped us finish the job, and then we relaxed until…
• It was time to meet the girls in town for dinner at our very fav place where Chloe has been before.
• My daughter is staying in town. Chloe and her friend are tucked into LJG. We’ve enjoyed a couple games of backgammon, and now it’s time to hit the hay. Tomorrow is going to be a big day.
