Cape May

I had some surgery done yesterday - (nothing I feel like discussing and nothing to do with the big "C") but just to let you know, blogging will remain slow for a bit until I am back up to par. 

Below are some pics of Cape May from last week to fill some empty space on this page.  We had a very interesting week - we rented a huge house and invited lots of people who came and went in shifts, including family - MIL, BILs, SILs, etc and old college roomates.  It was fun but not as relaxing as usual because I felt like I had to play hostess and make sure everyone was having a good time and had all they needed. Also, we brought my parents along, and we were able to see up close how slowed down they are.  As soon as I am able, I am going to find them a retirement home.  They are slowing down mentally as well as physically and I am really concerned about them being on their own.  They get mad ay me whenever I bring it up, but it's reached the point where I think I have to make the decision for them.

Anyway - here are some of the happy thoughts of the trip and a good taste of the flavor ofthe area.  We've come to Cape May 14 of the past 16 summers, and there's a good reason for it - the place could not be anymore charming with beautiful beaches, Victorian gingerbread architecture and absolutely fabulous reastaurants.  Everyone there seems to be into gardening or else there's something in the sea air - the flowers were amazing:

Husband and I got up and stole away on our own in the early morning fog:

 

Husband engaged in his favorite pastime - reading the WSJ on the beach:

Beautiful pictures of the beach. You could handle the parent thing like I did. Dumped it on my brother.

Thanks all. Getting better, but still a bit low on energy. Stitches come out on Friday. Can't wait. They are driving me nuts.

Thanks for sticking with me and coming to check on the blog even though it's been all too empty of posts lately. I will try my best to make up for it, and to spend time visiting the blogs of my friends in the next few days.
