Hello on Saturday Morning

Dear Friends.

Our Friday went very well. We encountered very little traffic on the way to Cape Cod. The only time we slowed down was to make an hour stop at the Wrentham Outlets, and when we were going over the Bourne Bridge. For my readers who have never been to the Cape, as you exit the Bridge, all traffic goes into a rotary so that there was a little congestion.

We went to our friend’s home which happens to be 2 miles from our hotel. Our GPS had us taking the scenic route, but we did eventually make it to their place. This was the first time that we have been to our friend’s home. It is one of those Martha Stewart types of homes both inside and outside. Their place is about one mile from the ocean. The owners take care of their manicured lawns, and flower beds. There are bird feeders and bird houses the back yard. They have a very private and wooded lot that their house sits on. They do have neighbors on either side of his house, but woods make it so that you can’t see one another. As my friend said yesterday; “You can run around buck naked in the back yard, and no one can see you except for the birds and squirrels.”

We watched an array of birds coming to their bird feeders as we sat on their deck drinking a couple of Mojitos. In Pittsfield these bird feeders would be knocked over in a heartbeat by the Berkshire bears. I did notice that no squirrels were attacking their bird feeders. My friend said that his pellet gun is a wonderful tool to keep the undesirable varmints away.

After the brief visit with our friends, we came back to the hotel, and we freshened up for our next adventure. We went to a 5 PM to 8 PM party at the home of bride’s grandmother. The home overlooks the water. If we didn’t have a GPS, we would still be driving around on the back roads of Falmouth trying to find the place. Grandma bought the home in the 70’s, and it is worth a fortune at the current day prices. There was even a gate with a guard, and you had to tell him where you were headed to. They had a huge tent set up on the grounds. The food and beverages were endless. One of my friends and I wanted to stay until all the food and beverages were gone, but we all pretty much left at 8 PM except for the bride and groom, and their close friends.
The party continued in the room of one of the Berkshire people at our hotel. I think my head hit the pillow around 10:30 PM. Linda played on the computer as I fell asleep.

I am not sure exactly what we are doing for breakfast. I use the word “we” because there are about 15 people from the Berkshires who are attending the festivities. The hotel has a complementary breakfast which would be good enough for me. Our friends who live in Falmouth told us about a great breakfast place not too far from our hotel.

The wedding begins at 2:00 PM at a Catholic Church a couple miles from our hotel.

After the Church service, we will have to drive about 6 miles to the Willowbend Country Club where the reception is being held. The reception starts with a one hour cocktail hour starting at 5 PM before we sit down to dinner. The reception ends at 10 PM, but the family said that if some of us want to party in downtown Falmouth, a shuttle bus will be provided to and from the hotel. I just happen to know of a great Irish Pub on the main street in Falmouth. The last time that we were there, a Pittsfield High School graduate was a waitress in the establishment.

Well, as you see, the Curley’s have a full and fun day ahead of us.
I do remember going by a Christmas Tree Shops store in our travels on Friday. We might be doing a little recreational shopping before heading off to the wedding.
Have a great Saturday.
Talk to you soon. The Curley Lad
