This weekend my daughter brought her three friends down from Boston and we all had a great time. As they were packing to leave today, my daughter said, “Okay Mom, NOW you can write summer is over. It was too early last week.” I smile thinking how desolate it was out here last Tuesday, with . . . → Read More: Ok Mom, NOW It’s Over! My friend, who is an amazing writer of two wonderful blogs, recently reviewed the movie Hope Springs in her blog, Movies, Popcorn, No Butter. It’s a great review.

A little encouragement from someone else, because I had been thinking the exact same thing. . . . → Read More: Almost A S’UP Oh, where do I start? Today was paddle board day – the second try. Maybe I should start with how it took 1 truck, 3 people, and 4 trips to get everything onto the beach for this paddle board day. We set up camp at noon. It was high tide. We had to wait for . . . → Read More: Surfer Girl Thought For Today in the Cape Cod Times: “If you board the wrong train, it’s no use running along the corridor in the other direction.” ~Dietrich Bonhoeffer The train wisdom is running ramped this week. The whistle of this quote got my attention. It’s so true. When in a difficult situation with a loved . . . → Read More: Train Whistles My August road has been paved with new and deeper ways of looking at control, acceptance and letting go. Dan McCullough writes an Ideas & Opinion column every Sunday in the Cape Cod Times. I always enjoy it because it’s totally different from the political ones covering the editorial pages. This Sunday was of . . . → Read More: Yet Another New Lens |
