A shameless plug for the Red Nun

I would declare that my dear wife Karen and I can call the Red Nun our place in Cape Cod. Let me share the reasons why we feel so comfortable at this bar/restaurant: We can walk there from the lovely cottage in, oh, two or three minutes. And, more importantly, walk back after a couple…

Yes, that is a shed

You’d think there’s room for extra guests in this second structure out back in our Cape Cod rental spot. Nope. Just one of the nicest she’d fronts you’ll ever see. Hey, wait, it’s locked. Maybe it is a bunk house! The back side gets me back to my notion of shed.

To the pond, dear dog

Our cherished rescue mutt Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle adores the yearly Cape Cod getaway as much as we do, She’ll keep that smile on her face at the hidden pond, as long as we let her choose her own water level. My dear wife Karen and I appreciate the view, too.

Back to the Beach (Bar) please and thank you

My dear wife Karen and I wondered how this state of COVID-19 Cautions would affect the places we’ve come to rely on for the two big Rs in our annual Cape Cop getaway. We’d be happy if they were open and operating in a manner that made us feel safe. The Beach Bar’s bar is…

Great catch by the kids

Yes, my terrific daughter Elisabeth listens when we talk about our vacation discoveries. She and George Three found our favorite Cape Cod brew at their supermarket in Oneida. Now we have two six-packs coming our way via the Price Chopper. Yum.

While my dear wife Karen and I were appreciating our strolls around the neighborhood of the cottage we rented for this year’s trip to Cape Cod, we both decided it would be a good adventure to go inside the Town of Dennis Public Library. We knew we wanted to compare it, outside and in, to…

We did have a beverage or two

I almost forgot. My dear wife Karen did manage to get in a drink or so during our fabulous Cape Cod vacation. On the deck, I enjoyed a wine of Cabernet Sauvignon vintage while she chose a pre-mixed tequila pour. At the Red Nun, we both favored the Wachusett draft, blueberry style. Karen’s online research…

Never to be contacted again

As my dear wife Karen and I walked around the beach area of Dennis Port, a certain resort caught my eye because of it’s name. I’m sure Gaslighting did not mean what it does now when the owners decided to call it such. But because of the present connotation, I had to wonder if anybody…

Our favorite restaurant comes through again

Over a handful of trips, we’ve discovered a healthy like for The Oyster Company. In fact, the plates of delicious seafood served up in Dennis Port are a highlight of Cape Cod week for my dear wife Karen and I every time. Hover over a gallery photo for a description. Click on an image for…
