Saturday

We certainly didn't need to be out in a boat to see the whales this weekend.

Spent some time in town visiting the shops that were open and tried to help the economy a bit, but not too much.

Out at Herring Cove we did a bit more relaxing, reading and kite flying.

And of course, we had our hearty breakfast as on every trip out.

Friday in Provincetown

Sort of like a set from a James Bond Movie. Sunken Skulls in the wastelands of the bog.

When they said there was flooding along the inland water, they weren't kidding. Behind me are the tent sites at Coastal Acres.

We spent a part of the afternoon out at Race Point, flying kites, reading, enjoying the ocean and...

Did some whale watching right from the beach. Sandi and I took turns with the camera and Sandi captured the first whale.

Easter Weekend Thursday

Flooding in lower New Englnd has been a big problem in the last several days and Rhode Island was hit the hardest. I-95 in Warwick, RI was completely shut down and we had to detour on our way to Cape Cod.

Boys and their toys; We were very surprised when we came upon the closed I-95 section and our GPS actually showed a road closed symbol.

What a surprise! Yes, sections of the campground we are staying at are underwater, including the entrance.


Home Sweet Home for the next four days. Wonderful campground, especially since no one else is really here.

Easter 2010

A new Easter Tradition: Find as many silk ties as you can, take them apart and cut them into squares. Must be 100% Silk for this to work.

You carefully wrap an uncooked egg with the silk finished side towards the egg, tie it off with a wire tie, then wrap it again with a piece of white cotton cloth and tie that one tight.

Place your wrapped eggs in a non-ferrous pan, cover eggs with water then add 1 cup of white vinegar. Bring to a boil and continue to cook at a slow boil for 20 minutes.

Cool your hard-boiled eggs and unwrap! Some patterns will work and as you can see some won't. But you get a very different type of Easter Egg. You can polish them with a bit of vegetable oil when completely cooled. Can you eat them? As long as the shell didn't crack enjoy your Easter eggs as usual. You can sew the small left over tie pieces together to make some really different designs.
