Monumental

Looks like … Hey, I commented to my dear wife Karen as we strolled along the beach road in Chatham, there’s the Washington Monument. Ha. She’s accustomed to my sense of humor. Honored. We share curiosity, too, so we walked up to read the tall statue’s inscriptions. Turns out, it honors those lost and those…

Close enough to peak

Bountiful. Should we continue our streak of visiting the beautiful grounds of the Heritage Museums and Gardens, my dear wife Karen and I wondered shortly after we arrived for this year’s Cape Cod getaway. Her phone told her that the rhododendrons were near peak. Happy path. You know we went to the beautiful walking paths…

Let’s walk local

Love the lines. My dear wife Karen and I know we can appreciate the moments we steal away with a stroll at the Dennis Port beach just a mile or so up the road from the house we enjoyed for this year’s Cape Cod getaway. Peaceful. We park, we walk, I snap a photo or…

Beautiful scene at Chatham

She’s feeling at home. One thing I’m sure of when we arrive for our annual Cape Cod getaway. I have to get my dear wife Karen to a beach, pronto. She’s a Los Angeles native, after all, no matter that how long our lives have been based in Central New York. It was a cool,…

Beach, babies

Wind in their hair. One day during this year’s Cape Cod getaway, we coaxed the cherished rescue mutt back into the car and drove the mile or so back to the two beaches where we walked her from the house we rented the past few years before this year’s model came back available on the…

Away we go

Every dog needs a fire hydrant. My dear wife Karen and I decided that we’d get our steps in every day with our cherished rescue mutt during our Cape Cod getaway. We’d go out the front door and say, you pick the way. The plan included letting our aging rescue to pick how long we’d…

Great getaway for the dog

Room to roam. The fact that our cherished rescue mutt liked the yard at this house helped convince my dear wife Karen and I to return when we spotted it back on the online site after a few years spent for our annual Cape Cod getaway at a place closer to the beach. Relaxing, too.…

Familiar and new on the Cape

Great vibes for sure. Now that we’re back home safe and sound, it’s time to share this year’s Cape Cod getaway for my dear wife Karen and I. When she started getting down to booking business, back when it was still officially winter, Karen noticed that the second house of the three that we’ve stayed…

Tuckered out

Rest easy. Terrific daughter Elisabeth reported with a great text photo that Vinny and Izzy may have been happy to have the whole place back to just she, George Three and them when the last cookout visitors had said bye. Well done, kids and kitties!

Pop on the side

Grow tall. I was glad to see this purple beauty popping up high in the side yard at Elisabeth and George’s place as we got ready to eat his special pulled pork, burgers and way more sides than I could ever get down easily.
