Lighthouse Keepers

July 4, 2025July 4, 2025 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 17 Comments

Happy Fourth of July!
I am back home after my vacation and thought I would share my latest adventure. I am what you would call a “lighthouse enthusiast” and had to wait 18 months for this vacation experience. (That was the earliest availability when I booked it!!!) Of course, 18 months ago I didn’t know my husband was going to have heart surgery or I was going to have foot surgery (twice) and need another surgery again this summer. That’s life!

Imagine getting to spend a memorable night in ONE of ONLY TWO offshore lighthouse towers in the WORLD available for an overnight experience as honorary Light Keepers! (I was not going to miss out on this!!!)

My daughter and I got to experience the life of the brave lighthouse keepers who lived in and maintained the Borden Flats Light from 1881 through 1963. This experience was truly one for the memory books!!

I have been enthralled with lighthouses since I was little (and watched Pete’s Dragon). I enjoy visiting lighthouses all over the US (and Canada). Spending the night in a lighthouse was a dream come true for me. My daughter enjoys visiting lighthouses too; however, she wasn’t as excited as I was to be “stranded” (off the grid) in Mount Hope Bay. It took some convincing and somehow I forgot about the boarding part… “Please be aware, all Keepers must climb the vertical steel-rung ladder to access the Lighthouse.” Oops! Neither of us anticipated having to climb the steel rungs (during low tide) to board the 143 year old historic landmark. We did it (me with my bandaged foot and all)!

Here are some photos from our adventure…

“A lighthouse is a welcoming structure, a reassuring sign of steady ground ahead, an optimistic symbol of hope for all looking to move forward safely. It is an emblem of strength located at the edge of unpredictable seas as it provides guidance and light among the darkest of nights. Resilient and immovable, this shining beacon encourages perseverance even in the most treacherous of storms.” -Anonymous

Do you enjoy lighthouses? Stampin’ Up! used to have some lighthouse stamp sets over the years which are now retired. I still have two “lighthouse keepers” that I bought, High Tide and Sailing Home.
Here are some cards I created with these stamp sets. I hope they inspire you!
