The Cape Traffic...UGGGGHHHH

So we learned fairly quick especially during the in-season how to avoid the tourist traffic coming on and off the bridge (there are only 2..so not a lot of ways to get over to the cape)...but even now in the off season the wkends that are still sunny and warm traffic gets a little congested and when you want to get home after work you avoid this.....

I just need to get to the rotary (which is another headache esp if you are new here and not sure how they work,,I got it down now...but you can tell the new ones by the deer caught in headlights look when they come upon the rotatary, the one right as you get off this bridge to come on is the worse one just to warn any visitors) I need to turn right before the bridge to get home and on some days during the summer this traffic can be backed up 5-6 miles to get off the bridge at end of wkend or worse to get on.....but to make matters worse you get stuck behind alot of these

Alot of pricey cars...and you sit in traffic stewing about the high cost of living here and the high price in food and wonder how much they make in front of you and etc....then you snap out of it and realize how very blessed you are to have a great family that loves you and a wonderful husband and remember to just enjoy this moment in time here at a place that people come from all over to visit:)...then you get mad again cause the traffic is slow and you just want to get home....and so the cycle continues...lol...by the way...being military I have discovered that I can cut thru the base and save alot of time (my co workers are jealous)

Late Summer Entry

Am a little behind in blogging so catching up now and discovered what made me happy on a very warm summer day...

Have to say that I actually wanted to read this book long before I knew where I would be living...so ironic....so in reading the book, it was so enjoyable because the roads and bridge and places talked about throughout the book...I knew!!! Must have been meant for me to be here!! And lounging by the ocean wasnt a bad idea either...beach chairs are packed away but will return next summer:) We have have a few beaches here in our town of Sandwich (they are in every town:) and some are public but Sandy Neck beach is for residents only and you have to have a sticker on your car...it is nice because it is not as crowded

And as you can see...if you have a 4x4 or a camper..you can camp by the ocean (my kind of camping) or you can take your truck and hang by the water all day and have a fire....not bad huh?

For my Mother

The Lobster Rolls are waiting for you, MOM:)

Touch of fall

Finally got around to getting pumpkins and mums:)

Also enjoying the pink daisies that are abundant in our front beds

Coziness

Ventured into the Home Goods store and found this wall art clock. Was having a hard time finding a picture for the space above my side hutch. Then realized we didnt have a clock in that main living are so problem solved!! And it had birds!! So with a few lights added and a warm fire going...bring on the chill...well maybe not:)

Coffee Cup Dilemma

So being the coffee junkie that I am....I woke up one morning with a little dilemma. Which cup do I use? Every cup has a story behind it...no fancy cups but cups with meaning to me and for some reason makes me just feel plain good when I'm sipping my coffee. I do however need to add a Dunkin Donuts cup to my collection since its on every corner here on the Cape...

And then I thought "Why doesnt Gary have the same problem?" and then the answer..

He likes to keep things simple :) I will say that he favors the Nascar over the Harley cup!!!

Local Tour of Cape Cod-Falmouth/Woods Hole

So Sunday was another georgous fall day on the Cape. My friend Erin (from work) took us all around our local areas to see some of the beautiful scenery that we are surrounded by. Falmouth is one of the areas where I work and am a visiting nurse, Woods Hole is in Falmouth and the ferry for Marthas Vineyard docks there..Lots of little shops and of course water. Houses abound with charm and beauty all over the cape. So enjoy some of the many photos taken that day:)
