Recently my Mom and I had a lovely evening at the Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods, NH. We strolled along the historic hotel's porch, and had dinner on the veranda with a view of the White Mountains at dusk. It was such a lovely time, and I hope to do it again as soon as possible!

Beauty in Chatham!

Old Cape Cod

Did you ever go down on Old Cape Cod.

That place that speaks of peace and God.

Where the trees, and flowers and even grass.

Nod you a welcome as you pass.

Where you hear the waves a-pounding the shore,

When the wind's nor' east and the storm clouds lower;

Where you breathe in the smell of the old salt grass.

As on the highway of God's country you pass.

No place in the world shines the sun so bright.

Or the moon when it's full on a summer's night.

And the people "God bless them," that true do they ring

They make you as welcome as the flowers in Spring.

A hand clasp that thrills way down to the toes.

Is the greeting one gets wherever he goes.

Just to think of that place is to me.

With its wonderful flowers and sky and sea.

Like sweetest nectar, fit for a god.

That I drink to the health of Old Cape Cod.

- John Chipman

It's Almost Time!

"Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower."

- Albert Camus

Savor, Indulge, Play with KJP and Crew!

Yesterday I attended the SIP event with Kiel James Patrick at the Chatham Bars Inn on the Cape! There was Krug champagne and oysters, croquet on the lawn, and bocce ball, and even a fox photobombed the event by springing the fence and running through the croquet court! It was all for the debut of the new clothing line by Kiel James Patrick. It was my first time meeting Kiel and Sarah, and they are such genuine people with a great love for what they do. All in all it was a wonderful afternoon, and I hope to attend other such events by Kiel James Patrick and team in the future.

My dear friend from California came out for a visit, and we couldn't help but take her to Martha's Vineyard. It was the first time I had been as well, and I simply loved Edgartown! It was a charming village, very reminiscent of Nantucket. The homes and gardens are beautiful at this time of the year. We had lunch in a pub and ice cream at Martha's, and one of my favorite things was taking photos of all the people out sailing. It was a glorious day and I can't wait to go back again some time soon!
