I'm feeling melancholy these past few days so here goes, a blast from the past.

The really scary part is that I didn't hesitate anywhere, just read along like I normally do. :)
Holidays
Heading down to The Cape tomorrow, Breton not Cod, for two whole weeks. Yeah!!
Just to be fair, Cape Cod is lovely, it actually reminds me of Cape Breton. The drive to Hyannis is route 6 from Sandwich I think, and in Cape Breton it's route 4. They feel very similiar, quiet, beautiful and untouched.
It was weird driving down that road, knowing that JFK drove down it many times to go home.
You can go home again, it's just not the same.
My father died when I was very young and our (6 siblings) mother was all we had. She was our matriarch, our anchor. We lost her almost four years ago and things will never be the same.
Memories are all we have, and she left us wonderful ones.
It really makes you realize the fragility of life when you lose someone that is such an important part of your being.
Remember, every day you make memories for someone and that's all they will have of you when you are gone.
Oh yeah, holidays, sorry I got melancholy for a bit. :(
We have a few rules, one of which is no computers allowed. DVD'S ARE!!! YEAH!!
It's so funny, we all get up at different times and the early birds usually watch a movie in our jammies, before breaky, in the den adjoining the kitchen.
When the stragglers start to arise and want to talk, all they get is SHHHHHHH!!!!!!
It totally pisses them off and it's always the same ones. Needless to say, I am not one of them. :) It's usually the kiddies and the kids at heart that are up early.
Then we get on to doing really boring stuff like going to the beach all day, swimming, windsurfing, waterskiing, scuba diving, boat cruises, building sand castles.
Then coming home to eat lobster, steak, veggies(we have a few vegetarians), bar-b-que whatever, drink gallons of wine and beer.
It's rough I'll tell ya!
You can't go home again to what it was but you can go home and make the best of what it is.
Everyone, enjoy all your holidays. :)

quite frightening that I didn't hesitate either...not sure if the "holidays" part is current or part of the past. If you're going on holiday, have fun. If not, I hope you had fun :)
Are you talking about Cape Breton, NS? I assume so. We hope to take a special trip there this summer, if all goes well. It looks gorgeous. I love upper coastal Maine, so Cape Breton looks like paradise.
I had no problem reading that either. Does that make me strange? I certainly hope so! I couldn't tell if you were going on holiday or not, but if so, have a great time.
Sorry about your mom's passing. My mother died several years ago and there is still a big void in all our lives. Some people leave a big imprint.
Steve, The holidays were last June. Had a great time with the family.
BTW I'm really happy for you.
Lemuel, Yes it's Cape Breton,NS. If you need any tips or info,let me know.
Hi Laurie, Thanks very much and sorry I was vague on the post. The vacation was last June.
I hope that you have a wonderful time!
