I get crackin’ at Sesuit Harbor Cafe

Ellie B enjoys the vacation life of Cape Cod

Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle appreciates the Cape Cod lifestyle, too. It’s not all lounging around. We take her on a daily walk away from the Happy Cottage. One of our regular routes takes us through the village of Dennis Port. The surrounding blocks this year pass an interesting construction project. Hover over a gallery…

Cape Cod relaxes me to the max

Cape Cod. Ahhhhhhhhhh. That’s me, at ease. My dear wife Karen and I went to Cape Cod last week, our yearly trip renting out the Happy Cottage for a relaxing stay. We packed Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle into the Mazda and left A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville shortly after 6…

Call it the Beach Bar, please and thank you

The second drive the mile down Depot Road to the Atlantic Ocean was not met with a shuttered establishment. The Tiki Bar was … Hold on there, enthusiastic sir! As my dear wife Karen and I practically skipped from the parking lot to the little open-air joint already packed with people on the Friday Happy…

The latest label in our tour

While shopping for other things as our Cape Cod pre-tourist-rush June week in the Happy Cottage wound down, my dear wife Karen and I had to pull down one more newbie to sit next to the Dark Horse Cab Sav that I brought from home. So we threw it in with the bag of Blue…
