Monday, June 18th<\/p>\n

It\u2019s cloudy and cold today on the Cape.\u00a0 We\u2019ve done our walk to Belmont Beach and the poor little house I love so much is getting more and more dilapidated each time I see it.\u00a0 I\u2019m letting it go,and its possible I no longer think a house is for me.\u00a0 I\u2019ve become accustomed to communal living and think I\u2019d be much happier in a condo.\u00a0 I\u2019m not even sure that I want to retire to the Cape any more.\u00a0 This wonderful place saved me on so many occasions but I\u2019m learning that coastal living has its disadvantages as well as its rewards.\u00a0 I wonder if the allure would all but disappear if I had to contend with the mold, the rust, the dampness, and the sudden shifts in temperature.\u00a0 I brought my camera this trip and it occurred to me that considering all the years I’ve been coming here\u00a0there really isn\u2019t anything new to photograph.\u00a0 That said, the girls are loving the back yard and they are so much fun to watch in full frolick mode.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

We walked in yesterday to find beautiful new cushion covers\u00a0on all the furniture, Oh God no.\u00a0 Needless to say they are covered with sheets because I\u2019ll be damned if my girls will be the first to make a mess.\u00a0 I know like I know that dodging bullets while on vacation on\u00a0the Cape is definitely not for me.\u00a0 Trudi ventured over for a minute and of course the girls forgot who she was and barked their heads off, but that wasn\u2019t the real problem.\u00a0 Lina put three claw holes in the newly screened back door.\u00a0 Welcome to the Cape Jersey Girls\u2026luckily Trudi is a dog person, she can cuddle up with Lina and just take it in stride.\u00a0 So much for I’ll be damned if my girls…<\/p>\n

Well it\u2019s a banner day for my Lina.\u00a0 This is only the second day\u2019s walk to the beach and she did NOT poop on the beach.\u00a0 My little girl is growing up\u2026which perhaps can\u2019t be said about her mother.\u00a0 Walking back from Belmont I lost my footing on the uneven pavement and went down like a ton.\u00a0 It\u2019s like flying only I was going the wrong way.\u00a0 Scraped knees, elbows and road rashed palms.\u00a0 Quite the vision as Jeanette would say.\u00a0 The good news is that I discovered Neosporin with pain relief.\u00a0 It\u2019s a miracle that the young mothers of today know about and nicely shared with\u00a0a middle aged woman who found herself ass up on Belmont.\u00a0 The girls just cocked their heads to one side as if to say, what the hell Mom?\u00a0 Nothing broken, just stiff and looking like an eight year old again.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Didn\u2019t stop me from going to the beach where it was much cooler that on Willow Street.\u00a0 True to form the weather has changed to warm over night.\u00a0 \u00a0I started the Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin.\u00a0 My dear Sandra knows exactly what to put in my path when I get stuck.\u00a0 I am loving this book and its concept.<\/p>\n

Later in the evening I had drinks, catch up and lively conversation with the Cronin\u2019s and retired to Willow Street for a very good night\u2019s sleep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
