You're sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod...

A couple of days ago I made a trip to the Cape to help out my elderly aunt. I think the Cape is one of the prettiest places.

 I didn't have too much time to take photos,
but I did manage to snap a few to share with you.

This particular trip made me think of my parents quite a bit. The talented Patti Page, who made Old Cape Cod such a hit, passed away just a few weeks ago. She also sang The Tennessee Waltz, which was the first song my parents danced to the night they met. And although it's a sad song, they considered it their song.

I think they were doing a polka, rather than a waltz, in this photo!

I love all these old 1950's photos.

It was such a crisp, clear day. Unfortunately my dirty windshield, along with the obtrusive telephone poles and electric lines, ruined this photo. I wish all utilities were underground. It would sure make for more aesthetically pleasing photos!

This is Edward Gorey's old neighborhood. It's a beautiful street.

It was frigid on this particular day so I'm afraid I was a very lazy photographer, snapping photos from inside my warm car rather than venturing outside.

The Edward Gorey House is a fun place to visit if you ever find yourself on Rte 6A in Yarmouthport.

I believe it re-opens for the season on April 18th.

I had to get a shot of The Doubtful Guest, trying his best to stay warm in his snazzy red striped scarf.

I know a lot of you are also suffering with frigid temperatures. By Monday we should be in the midst of a heat wave here in Massachusetts (or at least it will feel like one) with temperatures reaching the high 30's. Can't wait!

Before long, the sun had set and the sky turned a beautiful, deep blue at dusk. The moon, although not full, was so beautiful and bright.

I'll leave you with a YouTube video of Patti Page singing The Tennessee Waltz

(for you, Mom & Dad)

I'm linking up with Claudia at Mockingbird Hill Cottage for a Favorite Thing Saturday this week.

Have a great weekend, everyone! Stay warm!

You're sure to fall in love with Old Cape Cod...

I'm back from my quick trip to Cape Cod, which has to be one of the most charming places ever! Thursday was beautiful, Friday was rainy. I didn't get around too much as I had to help a family member for a couple of days, but I did manage to snap some photos (the beach at sunset and a couple of dream houses)! I have a few more pictures, but I'll save them for next time!

(P.S. I tried to find this entire song, Old Cape Cod by Patti Page, which was one of my mom's favorites, but could only find a 30 second sound bite! Oh, well!! 30 seconds is better than not having it at all!)
