Here I Am

Sweet Mother Of God! I have just spent the last hour trying to get my computer online so I could write to you all. Unfortunately the Wifi Gods didn’t want me to send anything off, thus, the lateness of this post and my extreme frustration!

We arrived in Falmouth, Massachusetts just in time for lunch. We drove straight to Falmouth Harbor and Went to The Clam Shack! Yes folks. I had the most awesome Clam Plate ever!

I was definitely a happy girl! After our lunch, we headed over to our motel, checked in and dropped our bags, and we parked the car. The we walked all around my hometown! This is no small feet as the town is very large! But the weather was perfect and it made a great walk, where I could recall all the things that I so love about it!

This is me standing in front of the sign to my childhood home. I loved that house and really hated it when we moved.

This is the house I grew up in. It did not have the garage on it when I lived there, and gone are my Mom’s beautiful lilacs! They’ve also put this circular drive in and that just eats up the front lawn. I’m sad to say, it really didn’t look like my home any more.

As we walked we discovered a new place up town. A tea shop. Oh how lovely it was to sit and sip tea, have a scone and talk about our grandmothers.

And finally tonight, before the computer glitches, we went to a cocktail party. It was at a casino and was quite fun, until they threw us out! Why? So they could get more people in, who had to pay for their parking and drinks! Whoever heard of paying over $15.00 for a martini?

Here i am with a few of my class mates!

Well, forgive me for not chatting more. This blasted wifi kept me occupied for quite some time! Tomorrow is a beach day and I hope I will have more to tell you!

  1. Hi Mom,

    So glad you are having a good time! (And 15$ martinis–not so uncommon in Boston, I can say that for sure!)

    Enjoy your weekend! Love you lots!

    xo,

    Mandy

  2. That’s always fun to get together ! I don’t like to see old places, when I saw the flat I lived in with my parents in Germany, it looked soooo small and I had in memory that it was big !

  3. Those clams looks SOOOO good. So sorry I didn’t get to see you. I just got home on Friday and then my mom’s birthday was Saturday. You belong on a beach Maribeth;) And you don’t look a day older than graduation day!
