I have not had a moment to concentrate on updating this blog! But I will try to catch up now.
My daughter's wedding day came and went all too quickly, and every time I think back over the ceremony, I get teary-eyed!
Oh, to be young, to be so very much in love, and to have a baby on the way! It makes me so very happy to know my daughter has a life ahead of her with an incredibly loving and caring man!
Will I stop worrying about my fully grown "little one"? Probably not. Will I give my opinion when it was not requested? Probably. Do I already love this unborn person? Unbelievably so!

Well, enough of that nauseating banter. Let me tell you what has been going on in the last few weeks.....
The day after the "Wedding Weekend", we moved the RV to Cape Cod, Massachusetts to Dunroamin Trailerpark in Sandwich. The campsites themselves were very nice. Roomy enough, with nearly complete privacy between sites, which is a much appreciated rarity.
Getting to said site was another matter, however. The roads within the campground were so rutted, that even with Norman traveling at a speed that could barely be registered, our beloved home on wheels pitched violently from left to right causing cabinets to open and contents to crash to the floor! We had vowed to avoid campgrounds with roads like this, but how could we know? We hoped there was no permanent damage to the body or internal parts as a result.

Over the next couple of days, Norman patiently either waited or accompanied me as I did many errands collecting needed items for the Baby Shower that would be held in a couple of weeks.

| A lobster roll of gigantic proportions! No filler, and this meat is not only flowing over the top, but stuffed down inside this roll. |
A highlight ( for me ) was to go for a lobster roll at the Raw Bar in Mashpee, Ma. We had discovered this place a few years ago after watching the Phantom Gourmet do a review on TV about the "best lobster roll in New England". We were so happy to learn that the most highly reviewed roll was literately in our backyard! These succulent delicacies were noted for their lack of fillers and gigantic proportions. I didn't think they were quite as huge this year, but I am sure they are still the biggest on this planet. Currently still an amazing value at$24.99.
One evening we had friends from The Cape over for dinner that we hadn't seen in years, so we had a great time catching up on each other's lives.
We played nine hole of golf at one of our favorite golf courses: Falmouth Country Club. It was a positively gorgeous day, and as we walked the course, we talked with a lovely couple who we had invited to join us. They told us about a bike path we had totally forgotten about, and the best place to park as well as which direction to travel it.
It was a wonderful ride, passing through Sippewissett Marsh, by cranberry bogs, and overlooks of Capaquoit Beach. The entire route avoids much of Falmouth's notorious summer traffic by winding along the coastline and crisscrossing the Salt Pond Bird Sanctuary.
After our nearly 20 mile ride, we followed our newly developed ( not one I am particularly proud of, but Norm has embraced ) tradition of an ice cream cone.
As our days in Cape Cod come to an end, we look forward to moving back to Minuteman Campground in Littleton, Ma.

| Lobster Compost? You have got to be kidding! They sure do like their Crustaceans around here! |
We finally got our poor bikes out of "storage" on the back of the RV and had a very nice bike ride
on The Shining Sea Bikeway, named for a line in the song America The Beautiful. In the 1970's the town of Falmouth purchased the right of way from Old Colony Railroad and tore up the tracks and opened 3.3 mile Shining Sea Bikeway. In 2009, a new 7.4 mile section was added due to a $3.2 million dollar grant ( thank you, everyone ) now making the trail run from North Falmouth to Woods Hole. |
