Yesterday -- we left our motel in Franklin and toodled over to the Outlet Mall -- more grossness -- that is, people and stores.
Then it was pouring rain.
We met R & R at Ruby Tuesdays and had lunch. Then made arrangements to meet at the Super Shop & Stop -- a grocery store very close to Dennis Port.
OMG!!!!!! It was packed. But Sunday and Saturday are the exchange days -- when people come in and out.
R & R said they were leaving Monday (staying at a motel Sunday night) to avoid the exodus.
We've got a date to meet Orofino & Kevan in Toronto -- hope we make it. So, we're driving back in one day. (I also want to pick up the dog Sunday night -- if we can make it back.)
In the dark and in pouring rain, in a new place, we got lost coming here because I had not given the right address into the GPS.
Moishe-Kerouac panicked but He said nothing. No words, nothing. Just this 'something' emanating. The anxiety was palpable and rising by the second. I must admit, it was scary not knowing where we were in the pitch black out in cottage country with no light!!!
I stopped in front of a hotel and told him to go in to pee. I needed to think.
I got the file out -- we have a file for every trip -- and looked up our lease. I found an address in our agreement. I have no idea how I got the other address. Probably, the property manager's .... I put it into the GPS and by the time dad came out, we were on our way. And within a couple of minutes, we were there.
Finally arrived. Could have been a scene out of a spooky movie..... I see it now. Can two yids find their way? Are there spectres hidden in them there goyishe hills, ready to rise up? Should they have gone to the Catskills, instead, just as their forebears did? This is Kennedy country ... and we know about them!!!!!
It's a cottage! Again, charming -- but wet! Just like at camp.
No key. We went the next morning. "Oh, there's no key?" That's right, and they back door doesn't lock. "Really? Did you try the screen door lock?" Yes. "Oh, well, you don't need a key." So, that's how we did it. Closed the front door and that's it. It is a throwback and refreshing.
Everything is here -- kitchenette, kitch, chintz, wreaths and little figurines .... Niagara-On-The-Lake but on the ocean.
Americans, besides being huge are extremely friendly.
Dad couldn't figure out the DVD machine. A woman heard him ask about this in the office. She said she would send her husband over. True to her word, ten minutes later, we heard whistling outside and in he came. A former cable guy. Houston, we made contact.
We went for a walk this morning and everybody in Cape Cod was out walking or jogging and everybody said hello or good-morning.
Had a good night's sleep then heard the news about the stock market and before dad crawled behind the couch, we went out.
Tried to get to Chatham but there was an accident and the towns on the way were 'shut down' and everybody had to make a detour.
No patience so we parked and looked around. There are all these historical towns along Route 28.
I got very testy from hunger. We're going out with the Smolkins tonight so back we went to Super Shop & Stop and got some more food. It's what we do best.
Dad has fallen asleep in the biggest, ugliest La-zy Boy.
We'll go out soon to walk on the beach. Sun is peeking through ....
Hope it is sunny for all you kiddies, as well.
B & Dad.
Dad said not to worry about the yurisha -- there will be none left and one of you will have to either take us in or take turns. AAAAACCCCCHHHHH!!!!!!
