2012 - MAY MUSINGS

The Little Fort Hill Mermaid

Even though we only spent the first four days of May on vacation, most of the month was devoted to recovering from Euro germs and getting back into the swing of preparing for and welcoming BandB guests.  Add to that participating in the Lower Cape Outreach Council fundraisers, planting the garden and preparing for the upcoming outdoor consignment sales and time has evaporated.  In addition, when friends came up from VA, we didn't say no when they asked us to suggest and attend a couple of plays with them.  It was almost as if we were still on vacation, only with chores.


The big news for me was that three of my photographs were chosen to grace this year's Eastham Visitors Guide, provided by the Chamber of Commerce.  Considering the professional competition, it was quite an honor.


And, while attending one of the plays at the Cape Rep Theater, Ron found out that he'd been chosen to play the role of Mr. Ziegfeld in Funny Girl later in the season.


We've also had a second solar assessment done on the house and decided to sign a contract for a 20-year lease for solar panels to be installed.  An energy audit is also recommended when making this investment and we found that MA pays for a large percentage of their recommendations.  Although Kermit the Frog once sang, "It's Not Easy Being Green", it seems to be getting a lot easier.


And, to finish the month off in grand style, we're psyched to have another visit from Doug, bearing new computer parts for my Mac Mini, which is quite full of photographs, by now.  Both he and Ron have May birthdays, thus some major cake eating going on.  

On cue, out-of-state cars have jammed the Stop and Shop parking lot and visitors can be heard calling across the aisles, "did you get the hot dogs?" and "what else should we get?"  I had three near shopping cart collisions before grasping that it was officially Memorial Day weekend and grocery lanes were just as congested as the roads.  Do I feel like a Cape Codder, NOW?   

WICKED COOL BEANS!
