Back from the beach
After a repast watching the gulls soar and the planes high overhead heading out for Europe we came 'home' for steak, potatoes, green beans, tomatoes and Maine maple-walnut ice cream.

P'town tower
A boat with spinnaker filled passed in front of the Provincetown tower all the way across Cape Cod Bay in the distant horizon.
Admiring a painted whale
There are dozens of fiberglass whales placed across Cape Cod and the Islands, each painted by a different artist. A's favorite is this one with endangered species on each side in Walk-to-the-sea Park in downtown Hyannis.
Craft fair in Osterville
Saturday dawned cool and clear, so we drove over to Osterville for a craft and art fair.

Middleberg College Grads
These gals sat in front of us and enjoyed talking with each other as much as the music.
Artist's view
A local artist was painting this scene with the bay in the distance. He teaches here and in Italy, and each year brings students from Italy to MA and from MA to Italy.
Truro sign
Turn off US Highway 6 (goes from Provincetown, MA to Ocean Beach, CA) to this tiny seaside village, Pop. 1964.
Pick up sticks?
An amazing feat: A spilled the spaghetti and it caught on the oven handle! The pasta with tomato and mushroom sauce and Italian sausage was delicious.
A relaxes on Skatet Beach
We explored a new beach in Orleans. The tide was retreating and the tidal flats went on forever. Many families had set up camp all over the sand and shallows, and the children enjoyed the mud and water.
Wellfleet Town Hall
A enjoyed shopping across the street from the town square. We found a shady spot between these evergreens for a picnic.
Beach on Atlantic
Popular Nausset Beach from the cliffs. Kids were trying to surf on the waves, but they were not high enough for any real action.

A on National Seashore
We enjoyed watching the kids playing in the water ("Look, here's a CWAB!") and on the shore ("Mom, he threw at me first!").
Ray takes A for a ride
We took Mary and Ray Cormier out for dinner in Sandwich and checked out a couple of possible venues for Hugh Wyman and Ann Cormier's rehearsal dinner June 8, 2007. Before dinner Ray took us out for a spin in his 1937 De Soto and '37 Packard (shown here). Ray loves his old cars.
T loves cats
The big orange barred tabby from across the street has made friends with us. He announces his progress as he slowly crosses the street and ambles up the drive. He even went inside when the door was open yesterday. A discovered that he really loves to have his belly scratched.

Sunset at Sundancer restaurant
We had wonderful scallops and stuffed shrimp as the sun set over the marsh. Our waitress had olive skin and strikingly light blue eyes.
Steel band at Sundancer Restaurant
A good (and loud) band played for a Sunday evening crowd of 20- and 30-somethings inside while we ate outside on the deck overlooking the Bass River.
Wine from a cap
No glass was allowed on the beach, so we brought the wine in a drink shaker, and the cap was our cup. Cheers!
Knitting on Nantucket Sound
It was a challenge to knit with yarn moistened by the ocean breezes, but A soldiered on.
Beautiful gulls at the beach
We enjoyed watching the children playing in the waves and on the sand as the gulls swooped all around us.
