This week we played Tourist!
Not that we are…I grew up going to the Cape…Taking the winding Cranberry colored
road around the cranberry bog to my Grandpa’s House on the Water…Pretending I
was the Captain as I would play on the Boat anchored to his Dock. The Beach…More
specifically Cape Cod has been my Home away from Home.
When my Grandpa passed away
I found going to the Cape was Peaceful…It held a new meaning along with
memories of the past. Ralph and I have been trying to head there as much as
possible this Summer. It feels like I’ve been splitting my time between two
homes and let me tell you my “Real” Home is on “Operation Get Clean” this
weekend. There are clothes EVERYWHERE, chargers to phones and electronics in
every outlet, bathing suits hanging in the bathrooms, Sperry’s shoes strewn
throughout the house, decorations still hanging from Sammie’s (my doggie’s) 6th Birthday Party.
Tutu remnants on my living room floor from a newborn order, old fruit in the fridge that needs to be
thrown out! I mean I could go on and on…Bottom Line we need a maid, I
need to clean!
On Wednesday a little trip
to exit two led us to the “Information Center” as I pulled in just for fun…next
thing you know… Welcome to Pairpoint Glass!!!
America's oldest glassworks,
founded in 1837.
For well over a century, Pairpoint
glass has graced the tables, cabinets and shelves of some of America's finest
homes.
If you are ever on Cape Cod visit
them at their Sagamore location where you can witness the artistry of
glassblowing…I’ve never seen anything like it! When the owner said “Get ready
it’s Hot down there” I had no idea. It was very Toasty! But Amazing to see!!
All the guys were super friendly and take you on a tour, along with telling you
the history and of course showing you first hand Glassblowing! I was excited
right away when I was greeted by the loviest Pup ever…
He was Super Sweet and seemed like
he was Loving the nice warm “weather” of the Factory!
I Don't think I will ever Look at a Simple Glass Sculpture the same way...So Complex...Who Knew!
There is always time for Tie-Dying
Too!! The Creations.....
I relaxed on the Beach and assembled the Cutest Tutu’s Ever!! This order
was especially awesome because it was for two little girls that wanted to Surprise
a family member returning home from the Navy…and y’all know I’m a sucker for
the Navy. I think it’s in our Blood…Literally. Not just the men in my Family
dating way back…I also have had Aunts in the Navy. I was born in a Navy
Hospital in Florida and my brother was born in a Navy Hospital in Newport (1
day earlier and he would have been born out at sea on a Navy Ship…wouldn’t that
have made for an Amazing story!) Well here they are some American Tutu’s…..
When I got Home I added some White
Stars to resemble the American Flag…Super Cute Right ;) 
Enjoy your weekend Everyone!!! My Friday Night...Cleaning! Preparing the House for BABY...Ralph's nephew is going to Sleepover tomorrow night...Stay Tuned!
