Cape Cod Vacations

Falmouth was three weeks ago! Where does the time go?! I really gotta get a bit more on the up-and-up about writing my blog consistently! One of my goals for the fall...anyway, I digress. So, as I'm writing this, it's Saturday 8.30 and I can't believe it, but I'm on the Bolt Bus - doing my best to conserve some gas and to boot, I get 5 hours to write. Free Internet sold me on this whole bus thing. A woo hoo! And, I'm not alone...am here with my pal Catherine M. and the plan is for me to meet... Read Full Story

My Dreamy Island Cookies were inspired by a previous trip on the ferry ride from an afternoon spent over there. By this weekend I will have Dreamy Island Cookies available for sale at the Coonamessett Farm Store in Falmouth. Can you make out the Vineyard from the top picture?

When my kids schedule gets filled with fall activities I find it harder to spend long amounts of time in my kitchen using my oven. For now, I do what I have to to get done then get out of there.

Chances are, thanks to the price of gasoline, your summer vacation involved a little less driving!  A recent Cnn.com travel article said that Americans drove "12.2 billion fewer miles in June than the same month a year earlier." Many of us decided to take our holiday closer to our home. For those of us who live within easy driving distance to a great beach, mountains, golf, etc we have found great places to relax, swim, or just do nothing.  There are terrific deals to be found close to home...
