Day 05 – Something you hope to do in your life.
I hope to remain independent and live in my own house for many years.
Longevity for women runs on both sides of my family and I expect to live many
more years.
I have paintings to paint, things to write. Want/vs need lots of time and quiet surroundings.
Life is just too busy
- There are places I’ve been, like the Keeper’s House B+B on at the Robinson Point Light house at Isle Au Haut, Maine..twice.
No electricity, no phones, cell phones won’t work, like back in the day; Natures sounds are enough for ambient sounds.
And just a few rattletrap cars on rough roads. It’s a small island, but has a portion of the Acadia National Park to hike and
look at the views. A garden for veggies, chickens for eggs. A quaint indoor bathroom, with a beautiful outhouse with views
for the men and the women. One cabin had an out door shower.
- Eagle Island, owned by the Quinn’s. What a trip back in time….a boarding house type house, with lovely rooms
that again look like a trip back in the day….indoor bathroom and out house; much of the food grown right there.
The only way to get there is the mail boat…and back to the mainland…postal holiday…plan to stay another day unless the
captain is heading to the mainland for some reason☺.
These luxurious accommodations/won’t be available to my budget now…but I’m sure I can find places of serenity that
will calm my soul.

I love this, I think it would be so peaceful. I hope you get to visit again.

Thank you….there are so many ways to accomplish the same thing. I’m sure The Keeper’s House is out of my budget…we had an “in” ☺. with the previous owners, and Eagle Island is a possibility. But there are other places to go, places to see….friends who live on islands, just not so rustic, but just as peaceful, even for a day.

Things like the few you mentioned are usually very expensive, yet, I hope you may find both the time and money to get to them one day 🙂

Thank you…when I did them, off season, and at a much cheaper rate years ago…it was a rare chance…but am happy to have had the experience
so I know that places exist, and are there to find.
