Okay - one more post for today. Last week I took a little break and drove up to my sister-in-law's house on Cape Cod. I wanted one last dose of summer! And I do love the Cape even if I go alone. As it turned out, Jackie's off season renter had just moved back in so I had some company. Her boyfriend, Greg, had recently purchased a 25 foot sailboat and he invited me to sail in Nantucket Sound. When we got out of the harbor, we ran into about 4 foot waves and we really started to pound them - spray breaking over the bow, etc, I thought it was great! But after a few minutes, Greg said that his boat wasn't really meant to take this kind of punishment so we turned around and went back to the harbor where we sailed back and forth in calmer water for a couple of hours. It was a good time!
And so, I got a chance to walk the beach and take a few pictures (I like to watch the sunset from Payne's Creek -here's a shot of it for you). I also saw an old friend who drove down from Boston and we had some good chowder and a chat. So - semi-retired life ain't so bad!

Hi Brian- Beautiful photo! Glad you made it to the Cape. I love it there after the crowds have gone, and that's even without a pain old boat ride, never mind such a dramatic one. I'm glad the side effects are not quite as bad. Sounds like quite a vacation with the Master of Disaster!I would have been by the water cooler with you. The colors are beginning to change here and it's quite lovely. Love W
plain old, not pain old (oy)
Hi Brian. Love the photo. Sounds llike a great trip. I have to start hanging out with you. You're living life good!
Hi Brian -
Beautiful picture of Cape Cod. You can really feel the sunset. I love it up there - especially when the summer crowds aren't there.
Our lunch group needs to get together again soon.
