Cape Karen
Gee, it's been a while since I've blogged. I got home from the seashore at the beginning of October, and here it is November already... where did the month go?
(I guess it went the way of the bees... more on that later, in another blog...)
As always, my visit to Cape Cod was delightful... great weather and great friends. The quiet and serenity of being near the ocean is always a big part of why I enjoy the visit. Getting away from the noises here - being able to actually sleep through the night, without the neighborhood parade of loud, honking horns and thumping subwoofers to awaken me, was such a profound relief. I didn't know how tired I was until I finally got some sleep. Boundless energy emerged!
My childhood friend, Karen, was her usual active and adventurous self. We spent the weekends going to all sorts of Fall activities: A Harbor Fest in Hyannis, the Seaside Festival in South Yarmouth, cranberry picking, digging our own sweet potatoes, going out to lunch for fried clams and lobster rolls at Baxter's Boathouse and the Hyannis Yacht Club, and just driving all over the Cape enjoying each other's company. It's funny how friends from childhood are never hard to pick up with again - it's like we just met yesterday after class and went for a hot fudge sundae with the gang... time stands still in such friendships... enduring friendships of the heart.
It's true ~ the road to a friend's house is never long ~ not even when 1,200 miles separate us.
