To the Sea--and the Roaring Twenties

Figgy dressed for Jazz Age Lawn Party this morning.

Hit the road about 8:50 A.M. in Anne's car, coffee in the cup holders, Nikki in the back with paper and colored pens, Sug on my lap. But first Anne took this photo of dear Figgy, in a glossy, swingy black wig. She was going with awesome Johnny and Dominik to Governors Island for a roaring twenties event. She said it was lots of fun.

Quick Cape hits, as power about to run out as I sit here in Ben & Jerry's parking lot, North Eastham--and, I'm dying to get back to the house to wash my hair:

• Nature!!!! We saw a fox [Nikki saw two], a bunny, a large black crow that looked very Cape Codlike--and a juvenile grey seal at Nauset Beach in Orleans. He [she?] was so chubby and flubby and adorable. The signs said keep away, that the seal was just sunning and resting. But he was so cute.
• The beach. Sweeping panoramic view, surfers bobbing on the waves, vibrant sunset. We are so going back to that beach.
• Dinner @ Stewart's on Route 6. Excellent cod piccata over rice with fresh lima beans....and a strawberry-coconut margarita. And in-house glass case stocked with fine truffles and molded angel chocolates from The Purple Feather in Provincetown. Nice to ooh and aah over. We sampled some.
• The walk. Nikki and I strolled the neighborhood with Sug. 
• The pond. Great Pond. Serene and calming.
• Hot Chocolate Sparrow. Need I say more. This time I bought a nice-sized sack of their dark chocolate chips for baking [$6.95].

Want to scoot home to Dad's Cape Cod house and read and rest. I do feel a bit anchorless without him here. Good night.

TCOY

1. Walk with Nik and Sug.
2. Breathed in ocean air to expand heart and soul.

Thanks to my friend Anne for taking the photo above with her iPhone.
