salt air, sand in my shoes, hair that wouldnt dry, foggy mornings, sunny warm days, hot coffee and muffins, lobster, striped bass, silly smoot boys, looking at million dollar real estate and dreaming, friends and family fun, blue hydrangias everywhere, the smell of salt air......yummm

Clamming in Chatham


Another fun day in Chatham

Did my morning exercise.....Jeff and sandy golfed early...Then came back for some clamming at low tide...Big bounties of quahogs and steamers....yummm we had steamers for dinner along with our striped sea bass....

Steve and Lena came by for a visit and to show off Lenas new skill at making tallies...I don't know how to spell it...But they are Jewish prayer shawls....Very beautiful, made of all natural silks.

The Levins came by with Joyce and her two children and hung out with us a bit...
the weather was nice in the am and afternoon became windy and overcast..No rain..
All in all another nice relaxing day here in Chatham

Chatham and eating eating eating


Chatham memories from 2000


Well we made it to Chatham yesterday..lots of moans and groans from me because i had to pack...but i did it....The trip to the cape Sat. morning was long....about three hours....bumper to bumper traffic in few areas...

Stopped off at the pampered palate when we got to chatham and picked up some nice chicken salad that had tarragon and raisons, and some tuna salad, ( had to check out some of the old haunts) havent been to the cape in a few years) then went to the health food store to get a few more provisions, some green drink ,soy milk, and something else...i cant remember...

Then off to the house to unpack the very full car. It wasnt as bad as I expected....got us and the kitties comfortable in a very small room...but we fit.....a sofa and a twin air mattress and desk is all that will fit in the room....I dont have a closet or dresser so i put my clothes on the back of the sofa...

Sat nite we ordered pizza and salad for the large gang , margie, sandy, david , daniel,matthew, rick and gail, andrew, esther, jeff and I.

The reason we all got together that evening was to honor our friend steve, he played for the chatham A's Baseball team many years back and the whole team for that year was being honored at a Ball game and given rings.
So went to the game...nice hanging out with the gang, but bored at the game...ha
Stayed up late and played sequence...didnt sleep so well on the air mattress...tonight jeff and i will switch...i hope i like the sofa and he likes the mattress....
ballie and nobbie seem content in our little room.

More Food.....

bakery

Margie wanted to buy enough, donuts, muffins, cinnamon twists, apple rolls ...to supply the family until the bakery opened again on tuesday....this bakery is very popular as you can see by the long line...
