Cape Cod Weekend




















Photos: Dolores talks to Holly Golightly!

As we drove past, Dolores made a comment indicating she thought the mannequin was real. We had to stop and find out…in the process we found a very unique boutique…Wilma’s Eclectic Finds in West Yarmouth. Wilma’s is a consignment shop that has everything from clothing, jewelry, dishes, fancy serving/display platters, sconces…basically, you name the category and Wilma probably has it. Dolores went wild looking. Wilma wasn’t there because her best friend, Leigh, works the weekends so Wilma can have time off. This is a place you must stop at either coming on or going off Cape. On the Internet go to http://www.capecodconsignments.com/MidCape.html and scroll down to #5. Wilma's Eclectic Finds For You and Your Home, 616 Rte 28 (Main St.), West Yarmouth (508)-778-0123.


Highlights
Breakfasts at The Fairway Restaurant in North Eastham.
Dinner at the Lobster Pot in Provincetown.
Shopping at the Birdwatcher’s General Store in Orleans and Cuffy’s in Provincetown.
Beach hopping and the incredible surf from Chatham to Wellfleet.
Watching surf crashing on rocks in Cape Cod Bay.
Fifty mile per hour winds.
Power outage Saturday night.
Poetry at Chapel in the Pines in Eastham.
Hearing the incredible poetry of Christine Rathbun.
Trip home successfully avoiding the Sagamore Bridge.
Finding Holly Golightly.
Arriving home safe and sound.

The above list is not in order of best to least…that would be difficult. Each item is a story in itself that would take up way too much time and space.

A lot of hilarity came from Dolores and I being complete opposites in so many, many, many ways. We are both poets, but our poetry is totally different (there may be a poem here… Givenchy meets L.L. Bean). ☺☺☺☺☺☺ (When have you ever seen me give anything 6 smiley faces? Never!)
