N. Chatham, MA

Our flight to Chatham was short, with slightly hazy conditions. Steph and Chuck are ‘mahvelous’ hosts, providing wonderful accommodations and delish meals. I doubt they want to go into the B & B business, but we could certainly give them a high rating. We are all (but Bob/Lynne) staying in Chuck’s parents’ home next door (built in ‘48), which actually is now used as a summer rental...4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a couple of half baths...beautiful woodwork everywhere, complete with handmade wood furniture done by Chuck’s dad during vacations from his surgeon duties. Our view to the bay is outstanding (see photo above), and just awhile ago, I spotted a red fox in the back yard!

Chris/Janet spent Saturday night here (nice to see them). After lunch yesterday, we took a trip to the Christmas Shop and did a bit of damage there:-) Today is a rainy, lazy day, so some are out sightseeing, some sleeping, some doing laundry, some playing with cameras/phones/computers. It is nice having a ‘free day’on our own, ahead of the arrival of Jon/James for dinner and an overnight with us tonight. Tomorrow is departure day for everyone, and it looks as if weather will cooperate for our flight south to Mayberry. Later, y’all...
