The Problems of the Universe

This week my sister is here on vacation with me. Our favorite thing is to stand in the water on the sandbar at low tide and talk away the afternoon. I always call this “solving the problems of the universe”.

The Anniversary Day

Today was simply our day. We started out taking the lawn mower up to Dennis for service and the day picked up speed from there. Next we found ourselves at the Riverway Cafe for lunch.

Today

Today started out like any other. At 7:30 am my husband called me and talked to me as he does every morning. He was in NY. I’m in Cape Cod. Except today was the day we have been married for 37 years. In past years I would’ve hated that we were apart on this day . . . → Read More: Today

There’s no doubt about it – the Cape is poised and ready for the holiday.

Life Certainly IS Good!

A car passing on 6A. (this is unheard of) Sudden brake lights as a car pulls over, obviously lost. Cars shooting out of gates on the rotary without looking, people driving north when they think they are heading south, – summer has arrived on the Cape. Lights on until all hours of the morning in . . . → Read More: Life Certainly IS Good!

Just HOW Do We Do It?
