Weather today is iffy. Mostly cloudy, very humid, sudden and brief
bursts of sunshine.
I start the day at the
dentist for a cleaning, and end with dinner at Crabapple’s with my mother. In between I stroll Main Street, run some
errands, and miraculously win two straight games of gin.
While New York, has
everything, there are some things I don’t get there but I do get here; here are
just a few:
- Driving my mom’s car
- The beautiful and private Wild Harbor Beach
- Hearing the birds in the morning
- Cheap lobster rolls (relatively speaking)
- Fried clams (once per summer is about my limit)
- Maxwell’s (my favorite small clothing store; the owner greets me with a kiss when I come in today)
- Central air-conditioning (vs. my loud window unit that is never icy cold)
- Washing machine and dryer
- Ironing board that's always set up and ready to use
- Not spending money every time I walk out the door
- Sandwiches at Dean's
- Ellie the clumsy cat (who follows my mom and I from room to room, greets us at the door when we come in, and loves sitting on our laps)
- Lying on a raft on a hot cloudless day
- Playing gin
- Main Street Falmouth
- Reading a good book with the ocean at my feet
And of course, most importantly, just hanging
with my mom.
