the return of the vacationers

Well, we’re back from the mini vacation on the Cape.

I painted the damn tub surround on Thursday night (oil paint really isn’t that stinky, or else I am seriously brain damaged from the fumes), and then drove to Eastham that night.

The weekend consisted of much sleeping and lazing about, not so much swimming as it was chilly and drizzly, and many many hands of Onze. But there was much rejoicing at the fact that the cape house, though old and beat up, had a kitchen! And there were no boxes to unpack!

We visited my aunt and uncle who have a house in wellfleet that they rent out most of the summer— wellfleetrental.net Yes, I am totally pimping them out. But the house was gorgeous and very comfy and outfitted with Fran’s artwork

Plus I picked up a great heavy lamp at a thrift store and painted the crappy faux brass a much prettier faux matte silver.

And once we returned to jersey, JBB found the microwave!! We have a semi-kitchen! Or at least the ability to heat items in non-metal containers! Whoo!
