Summer is almost over for anyone with kids because kids are heading back to school, hopefully with green products in their book bags and healthy food in their eco-chic lunch carriers. Over the past three months, so many, many cars passed the new water tower on Long Pond Road to reach Long Pond or the Atlantic Ocean. I wonder what these drivers thought?

Sunday evening we had my mom's "Surprise" birthday party, only she already knew about it. We incorporated our family with her group: she is the ring leader of the "Common Ground" group and they usually meet at the beach to watch the sunset on Sunday nights anyway, so it worked out perfectly. It was a beautiful evening- gorgeous weather; warm, and sunny and everyone had left the beach by that time so we had it to ourselves.My older brother came from Provincetown equipped only with his guitar...

This Sunday we celebrated a momentous occasion. The completion of the top exterior farmer's porch trim! YAY! It looks amazing! Like suddenly it's a real live actual porch.... And that's not all! For super coolness, check out how Timmy did the left hand side. Yes, that's right folks. He added some siding in the triangle to make it fit in with the rest of the house. (Or the rest of the house when eventually it's all sided with that siding.) So awesome looking and so much better then just...

It was my turn yesterday to see the whales that are as close as 1/2 mile off the outer beaches of Chatham! I have never been on an "official" whale watch before and this was really not official, but our purpose was to see some whales! We boarded Matt's* fishing boat with his brother(Timmy), our sister in law(Kathryn) and their son, J.
