Edward Hopper: Then and Now

From the New York Times



In the New York Times today was a great multimedia essay looking at Edward Hopper's Cape Cod, click this on to bring it up the NYT Web site today: The iconic American artist spent nearly half the summers of his life painting isolated buildings in broad vistas. See how some of these landscapes have changed and hear what they mean to the people who live there. Living here on the Cape, as much as things change they still remain the same.

The Hood Blimp

While Michael and I were up on the deck the Hood Blimp made a couple of passes. Here's a shot of it going by the house.

We got our tickets this afternoon

Early this afternoon Michael and I headed over to Hyannis to run a couple of errands. We should have known that most of the small companies if they are open on Saturday close at either 12 noon or 1pm and never opened on Sunday. They would be the same merchants to complain about the box stores coming on Cape and stall them as long as possible using the Historical Commission. Yes two of the places we went to were closed so we went over to the Melody Tent in Hyannis to pick up our tickets to see none other than KC and the Sunshine Band. Val loves KC so we decided for all us to go and see him. Val will be coming down next weekend getting here some time on Friday afternoon and leaving on Sunday. Val cleared her calendar months ago so she could see KC. it should be fun to see KC and the band and hope they put on a good show.


Val just so you know we have the ticktes and above is a picture of the tickets so get your platform shoes on, get down tonight and get ready to shake your your groove thing..

Wasn't a beach day but

it was still nice out there with temps in the low 70's until later this afternoon it dropped to the 60's. Never made it to the beach today, we took some time to go to the upper deck and just relaxed and enjoyed the view.

nice day out there

It has been a very quiet day here at work, might have been a nice day to take off from work.
Ride in took less than an hour it might take longer to get home due to all the Cape traffic. Only four more weekends till the summer is over and I'm looking forward to that.
I know the picture is slightly out of focus but I kind of like the way the thistle looks in this picture. Not much else is going on.
We're going over to the Melody Tent in Hyannis on Saturday to pick up tickets for KC and the Sunshine band. Val want to see them live since she has had a crush on KC for years. The show should be a real hoot, if it's like the video clip I saw on line.

Pumpkin Pie

This is a picture of Pi she has very blue eyes and is a killer cat when it comes to rodents in the neighborhood. She love to carry them home and play with them in the gardens until she kills them.
