Cape Cod

We were in Cape Cod.  Many of you guessed New England but Angela at Love Being a Nonny was the only one who said Cape Cod.
These pictures are in Chatham. 
I would have loved to buy all this china.  Prices were too steep for me.

Window boxes were everywhere.

Cute little signs tempted you into the shops.

There were huge hydrangea bushes everywhere you looked.
Flowers in abundance. Isn't this lavender fabulous?

We stayed at a house in Dennis.  This is a home in the neighborhood where we stayed. 

You can't be in New England without having lobsters and steamed clams!


The best time of day was sunset at Breakwater Beach in Brewster.  The tide goes out really far and you can walk very far from shore.  See how small the people are and you can walk out much  farther than that.


Here is my family "posing".  Our oldest son and his family weren't able to join us, but at least we had one of our grandchildren with us.   I'm taking the picture.



Good bye Cape Cod.  We loved you when our children were young and spent many summer vacations there  with them and you helped us make some wonderful memories again.

Weekend in the Mountains

Our friend's boss owns a wonderful log home in the mountains and we got to spend the weekend there. It sits at the top of a mountain and the view out the window is spectacular especially when a rainbow appears in the sky!


These 2 views are from a trip up there in the summer when the leaves were green.




The views are framed by these amazing windows.This is the main living area.

A view of the huge beams in the ceiling and the amazing railing handmade from trees from the property.



A balcony off one of the upstairs bedrooms.A close up of the wonderful craftsmanship in the railings.On Sunday morning the sunrise was spectacular.




There was a little dusting of snow overnight.And the morning was topped off by delicious french toast made with cream cheese, crusty bread and warmed fruit with pecans sprinkled on top.Just like the sign said: "The Mountains - Just another day in paradise!"

What a wonderful weekend.
