Great angle

I’m all for somebody else grabbing that brass ring. So when I spotted this never-saw-it-before while my dear wife Karen and I were strolling the shops in Chatham, Mass., I decided it was worth a shout-out. <em>Fire Fishin’</em> is a safe and easy way to roast your marshmallows. I was not in the market, but…

Can’t leave the flower grounds just yet

Because my dear wife Karen and I saw so much during our walk around the Heritage Museums and Gardens grounds in Sandwich, Mass., I offer this extra potpourri of photographs, many of which Karen’s good eye coaxed an elbow and a <em>take that!>/em>.

Walk, walk, beach

Our Cape Cod vacation location was a quarter-mile stride from not one, but two beach locations. If we took a left out of the driveway and went down the first available lane, we hit stairs that led to the big public beach. Lots of folks frolicked at the bottom of that climb. We enjoyed the…

This year’s Cape Cod adventure starts with a new place

When my dear wife Karen began researching this year’s Cape Cod adventure at the start of 2022, she discovered that the house we’d secured online for the past handful of vacations was no longer being offered. We figured that the kind owner finally decided to use all the warm weeks for herself. My dear wife…
