One last look at those gardens

This place slays me. One last look at my photo roll for need-to-shares from the Heritage Museums and Gardens in Sandwich, Mass., is warranted before I end this streak of shares from this year’s journey for the Cape Cod adventurers. It’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited, three years running now. That,…

Here’s to my puzzle-makers

The combination of my dear wife Karen, terrific daughter Elisabeth and fabulous fiance George Three had their puzzle-making goggles focused keenly this Cape Cod getaway. Together and individually, three 1,000-piece jigsaws were assembled and then put back in their boxes (after I crept in to capture the photo, of course). Long may they continue to…

We mix well with Chatham

See this one out in Santa Barbara, Melinda? My dear wife Karen and I most certainly kept up the Chatham stroll tradition during this year’s Cape Cod vacation adventures. I had to go to my iPhone camera when I spotted a store that carried the name of our great friend Melinda, the big daily colleague…

A short walk on a long pier

River side. My dear wife Karen and I arrived to one of our favorite stops, Sundancers, about 15 minutes before its 3 p.m. opening time on a Wednesday during a Cape Cod adventure. We strolled on the pier built alongside the parking lot … and the river that backs the restaurant/bar. The sights were lovely.…

Sit a spell on the beach, yes, thank you

Always my beach woman with a wanderlust. Yes, my dear wife Karen and I surely found a sunny, warm day to bring the beach chairs and provided flag down to the private beach 1/10 of a mile from our vacation cottage in Dennis Port. Good look. It was an hour very well spent, enough to…

Fantastic beach stroll for wife and dog

Happy wanderers. I was quite content remaining at the top landing as my dear wife Karen and our cherished rescue mutt Ellie expired the sands of the private beach that short walk from our vacation cottage in Dennis Port. It was a great spot to add to my Cape Cod photo album. It’s a bird,…

Let there be lobster

Now those are delicious tacos. Note from my dear wife Karen and I’s walk-for-dinner visit to the Ocean House Beach Bar: If you know the Cape Cod temperature is, say, 62 degrees when you’re sitting in the pleasant cottage, do not think that your shorts, long-sleeve T-shirt and vest will be enough at the water’s…

A good name catches my attention

Always. As we four Cape Cod adventurers strolled the main drag in Wellfleet, I kept my eyes open and iPhone camera ready for interesting captures. Good store name, Curiouser and Curiouser, thought I. OK, we entered. The single corner of available chocolates made the sandwich sign a bit of a bait-and-switch, thought terrific daughter Elisabeth…

Artistic trimming

I suddenly wanted a pina colada. As we four Cade Cod adventurers strolled with cherished rescue mutt Ellie around the sweet cottage, of course a certain tree on a neighboring lawn caught me eye. That’s one heck of a trim job, I called out to my dear wife Karen, terrific daughter Elisabeth and fantastic fiance…

Brite idea

Exactly. All three visits to the Heritage Museum and Gardens in Sandwich, Mass., we’ve wandered into the display inside the big barn in the middle of the center grassy field. They’ve changed this piece or that, my dear wife Karen and I have noticed. This art reminds me of the old toy called, I believe,…
