Back when I was a lot younger, I would go to the Cape with a sleeping bag, camera and guitar. I would sleep on the floor in my cousin's barn on Commercial Street in Provincetown. A number of times I awoke with several spider bites. The place had nooks and crannies for the critters to enter.
In the 1980s we did a lot of camping at Nickerson State Park, a wonderful spot for biking and fresh water swimming. However as we age we opted for a rental near the beaches in Eastham. These places are expensive but comfortable and are large enough for a group.
This place was nicely landscaped and VERY close to Nauset Light Beach
I love having an outdoor shower but this one had no pressure. It may be a deal breaker if we decide to rent this place again
Nice backyard, quiet. One night I could hear the surf
Deck
Screened porch was nice for reading
All the rooms had overhead fans, a welcome addition but...

UPDATE (June 21, 2016) - I found the words! I have found a book called Treasured Polish Songs which contains the word to "Our Company" the song that most of us know as Hupaj Siupaj. The book is available at Amazon . Nine years ago after a fruitless search I posted a request on my blog. Some of the comments pointed me in the right direction. I'm including the words but STRONGLY suggest you buy the book, it has all the Christmas Songs and so much more. Page 104 - Treasured Polish Songs Page 105
Back to Blogger Time to mix things up a bit. I have been posting daily picture themes on Substack for a couple of years. Thanks to all who have subscribed. Substack is a great platform but not the only one. Years before it existed I created a body of work on BLOGGER which was purchased by Google. I get nervous about investing too much energy in products owned by Google, especially having watched them drop Google Plus. I was sure that Blogger was going away but it still exists. I've decided to throw a few photos at it and see if anyone responds.
