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
ALERT! At 3:00 PM I received a text alert on my phone about a a snow squall. I didn't pay much attention because these things are only a problem if you are on the road. I remember a time when I was working in Acton, MA, I left work in the afternoon traveling along Route 119. The sun was out and the roads were clear. All at once the snow came. Visibility was down to nothing, the roads became slick. I creeped along following the tracks of the car in front of me. Thankfully I am now retired, so I can look out at the chaos without being part of the story. It is eerie how fast this came on, One minute the sun was out and then it was a white out. The birds didn't care, they are tough. Fifteen minutes later the sun returned. I'll be happy when Spring is here.
Saturday is Caturday Saturday is Caturday , a time to post photos and videos of our feline companions. While reviewing some of my scanned slides and negatives I found this purr-fect collection to share. Our old friend Mojo didn't mind being dressed up. He was a gentle soul who could actually play catch with corks We had a black and white cat when we lived in an apartment in 1973. This cat was hit by a car and I now suspect he suffered from congenital sensorineural deafness which is common with blue eyed white cats. In the Navy I was stationed in California. I spotted this guy in a flower bed. In the 1960s my sister found a kitten which she called Andrew, Eventually that became Fat Andrew. Fat Andrew wasn't fat she was pregnant. Like all cats she did her best to disrupt any desktop activity I was involved with. In this photo I was working on a Linocut for a Christmas card. My mom had a Siamese she named Abigail, a beautiful creature with deadly claws
