Enjoy a good live song

Play on, sir. The Ocean House Beach Bar does a lot of things right on its square of bright green artificial turf that sits inside the three sides of the working motel where guests say. Couches. Chairs. Serves to bring food and drink. And to make certain happy hours a Happy Hour, a musician pulls…

Still a puzzle champ

Relaxation for one. Several visits to the Cape, terrific daughter Elisabeth and George Three dropped in with my dear wife Karen and I. They both enjoy joining in the jigsaw puzzle extravaganza with Karen. So, me and my big mouth wondered if she’s be up to the task of finding and fitting those thousand tiny…

Oh, man, those pancakes

Finding my fill. A breakfast drive to the next town over lands my dear wife Karen and I at the Pancake Man. I don’t need a menu to know my order, but I’ll read it anyway just to see the other delights I could have if my taste buds were wandering. Indeed, two plates stacked…

Wonder of the sand and surf

Satisfying intersection. A stroll on the sand from the public side to the private side made my dear wife Karen and I satisfied indeed during our Cape Cod getaway. Soothing sight and sound. One of the bright spots of this location is that we can start the walk at one beach and finish it at…

Kind of cool

It’s always sunny in Buckies. My dear wife Karen and I had to put Buckies Biscotti on the list to show our friends Julie, Aaron and Evan. Karen and Julie both ended up with a white bag stuffed with the Dennis Port bakery’s namesake biscuits. I took the time to capture the interesting wall-hanging, too.

Sidle up for a draft

Easy afternoon. My dear wife Karen appreciate the fact that it’s a short walk from the cottage to the Cleat and Anchor restaurant. We set aside one comfortable afternoon for a cozy walk to sidle up to the bar, order a pair of drafts, and shoot the bull with the bar keep. The amber-colored pour…

Happy Harbor

Favorite lobster joint. My dear wife Karen and I appreciate so much about our yearly visit to the Sesuit Harbor Cafe. The true-blue marina joint carries waterfront atmosphere to the max. Launching our memories. It’s a working boat launch, for sure. Take a seat. It’s an outdoor cafe, yes. Wait like my dear wife Karen,…

Not your usual busker

Play on! Strolling along Main Street of the lovely Cape Cod village of Chatham, I let my dear wife Karen and friends Julie, Aaron and Evan get ahead so I could capture the coolness of the street musician. First time I could recall appreciating the busker talents of a solo cellist. Bravo!

The sun also rises

Good morning! Driving some 300-plus miles directly to the east from our home in Central New York, I realized that the sun rises and sets earlier in Cape Cod. Walking our cherished rescue mutt before 6 a.m. along the shore, we were way too late to say hello to the sun’s emergence for the day.…

Looks cool to me

Appreciate the name. The rather gigantic Cuffy’s in Dennis Port, Mass., was a fun stroll for my dear wife Karen and our friends Julie, Aaron and Evan. While they took in the amazing sights of so many clothes, candy and various wanna-bring-homes?, I was drawn to a particular cooler. Never have I ever spied Spiffy…
