We had company over the weekend.
Tommy and Martha came down Saturday night and left early this morning. It was great to see them. It's the first time they've seen Jim since he went into the hospital, and were surprised as how well he looks.
We got up early on Sunday, had breakfast at the diner, and caught the 10:15 Ferry to Cape May. We got on as foot passengers, so we rode the shuttle into town. There are so many old Victorian mansions to see, many are B&B's, and all of them have huge flower gardens, some color coordinated with the awnings, or shutters, rockers on the veranda..very classic and nostalgic. What a contrast to our beaches here. Very gentile.
We walked for hours. There are lots of little shops and boutiques, the usual over priced t shirts and fudge stores. We got caught in a sudden thunderstorm with some scary lightening strikes, so we ducked into a little restaurant called Freda's Cafe and had lunch. Tiny place, maybe 10 tables total but delicious food. It' was so small that you had to go outside to the rest room which was on the side of the building. Very strange.
We caught the Ferry back to Lewes and sailed right into the storm in our crossing. It was a little rocky but fun to watch the lightening on the water.
What could end a perfect day? How about steamed crabs and corn for dinner. We were all worn out after that and everyone was in bed by 11. What a lively group of Seniors we are.
Our visit was short but fun, Beau was friendly and entertaining. Everyone loved him. He's definitely a part of the family now.
