Yesterday during my never ending apartment search I happened on a site for "winter-rentals' on Cape Cod. I fired off a few emails and got several responses. There seems to be a really strong possibility of lining something up for the months we need. People who own properties up there want to keep the income coming in if they can..and not many people are looking for "cottages" during the winter. Soooooooo we may have found our answer. Most of them run right around 600-700 but include all utilities.. Hang up is they come furnished..not a really big problem..Just have decisions to make about the things we own.. Either give them away, sell them or bring them to the island. There are things I will bring for sure..but most of the stuff is just stuff and we can pass it on to Gabe and Chelsey.
So I am lining things up to look at over a week in April. We will go up to the Cape with Maryjo and open up her summer cottage and look at properties for next fall/winter. Wish us luck.. It will be different for sure. A bit far away from the kiddies..But not too far.. Maybe 1 and 1/2 hours..good for a weekend trip. The important thing is that we would not have to pay rent through the year.. We would just pay when we were there. This is what I was hoping to find. Finding that in the area we live now is impossible. We do not have much $$ to work with and paying someone all that money and not even being in the apartment just makes no sense..
Today is Ash Wednesday the start of the Lenten Season. The day is mild here but overcast. I may go out for a walk in a bit. Just to flush out the cobwebs. Dan is still working in Agawam..but the job is winding down. I think he enjoys doing it..He is such a hard worker too. Just never stops. I think he plans on building a hammer dulcimer when he finishes this project. One of his students wants another instrument. So that will be his next project..
In just 80 something days we will be back in Kingsboro..Getting our gardens turned over..clearing brush, putting up the bird feeders and the window boxes. I wonder how Tazzies little tree fared the winter. I hope it will be ok. Maybe we will get another tree this year. I have my second cup of coffee waiting for me here so I will sign off for today. Wising you all a happy Wednesday..have some fun now.. I am thinking lots about Julie..can;t wait till that baby arrives.. miss you all very much..
So watch out for pirates now and remember to
BREATHE and smile for me
