birthday day

 my favorite Cape Cod store ever and the sole reason we moved here.

to buy herbs and spices and oils and go home and smell them endlessly :)  

 

we did NOT buy Meowie Wowie

but we did buy cranberry crates that the cats immediately claimed

i want this house (the power lines would HAVE to go).  

it wasn't for sale or i would have insisted 

they sign it over to me  (at gunpoint if necessary) for my birthday :)

Ah Caramel - i've been looking everywhere for you!!!!  

i admit.... i hugged them and spun around in the aisle with them ;)

then ate them - but not before leaving all our money in the car (Cape Cod is magical)

and making the poor off-duty cashier wait while we went for money.  

poor lady - but we NEEDED these cookies!!! 

 oh lordy... who???  and why???!

 Ah Nauset Beach - heaven is a place on earth

 ahhhhh.... we looked for perfect white shells and perfect white pebbles 

(no jingle shells though - that must be a Falmouth thing)

 it was cold.  wearing two pairs of gloves and only having a 

STUPID iPhone camera with me was a bad idea....

 second favorite Cape store - Bird Watcher's General Store.  the owner needs his own TV show

i wanted a solar heated bird bath but they didn't have one - there HAS to be a really good reason

for this because they have EVERYTHING else......................................

 back home: Friday loved the crate instantly and claimed it as her own

she stepped out for a MILLISECOND and Megan moved in

Officer Romeo at the scene of the crime -
he is deathly afraid of her powerful paws :|

at the Olive Garden - it didn't suck last night.  it was just that kind of magical day
where nothing ever goes wrong :)
