A different cottage in Cape Cod to make us happy

At the end of our stay at the Happy Cottage in Cape Cod for our 2017 vacation, our friend Julie told us that indeed she and Lisa were selling. And great place that it was, they found a taker. We missed our annual trip last summer. My dear wife Karen regrouped. She found a place…
