Oldest and youngest.

Most recent my oldest and son.

All us moms can be such saps...but that's ok....it's our make-up.  I am so grateful for the blessings of our children.  Our first born came into this world August 14, 29 years ago.  Still remember that moment...and won't ever forget.  Thank you Lord Jesus.

Weekend Wishs for you...have a blessed one!

Hello friends, are you finding yourself busier than ever?  I sure am.  I don't like being so busy the summer is getting away...gotta catch it and quick.  In the mist of being busy...I have out of state family coming.  I am so excited to receive them.  I find when I have company coming....I do lots to the Nest....do you?  I am getting  their sleeping quarters ready....Getting some new things, just to spruce up around here. New bath and kitchen towels and bath rugs....freshens up the Nest. 
It is so nice to anticipate family coming to The Cape...

Have a great weekend...enjoy family and friends  Nest in Peace

August....I can't believe it.

Hello friends, how was your July?  Does it not seem like July goes by so very fast after the 4th of July?  I'm telling you every year I say this...."where did July go?"   We had our son and daughter-in-law visit from VA.  We had a wedding.....a memorial...saw lots of family members and old friends this past month. The littlest birdie is home in the nest...working and saving for a car to take back to college. I am very busy with real estate at this time....{that is a good thing}, hubby is quite busy too. 

I want to get to the beach hopefully soon.  After all I live on The Cape....we have some of the best beaches....and folks come from all over the world to visit "Ol Cape Cod"....  I have no excuse...just need to kick off the shoes put on the flip flops and get to the beach.  Are you enjoying your summer....?  Being from New England....we have to grab this time of year and fully enjoy it....winter will be here before we know it.  Well Fall {my fav} will be here first, but I can wait, and soak in August. 

Be well..................Nest in Peace..........................................Karen

Some Cape Cod Beauty......and the man child is coming home with his bride for a visit.

The color of July-August here on Cape Cod and the Islands.  Lovely deep blue hydrangeas.

I put up lil flags in my front yard...

The marshlands by The Boardwalk....blue-bird "cottages" I call them right near the beach....lucky bluebirds.

The Borad-walk, in Sandwich, MA

An old fishing boat going thru the Cape Cod Canal.  The Annie Wilder.

Salt water roses along a picket fence....such a beautiful sight.  Hubby was driving while I snapped a "blurry" shot, but could not resist.

So it's been a bit rainy here on The Cape....then really humid too.  The sights are still awesome......rainy or not I am excited....my son and daughter in law are on their way up from NC to New England for a weeks vacation.  I so treasure our times together.....having adult children......you take what ever time you can get with them...they have their lives to live......It's going to be a wonderful week.

I wish everyone of you...my friends a wonderful....blessed weekend and week to come.......until next time........Nest in Peace........Karen

A peak a an adorable shoppe, here in Sandwich, MA on "The Cape"

This is the name of the Shoppe.  Two gal friends started the shoppe.  They paint and re purpose furniture, and just simply create a modern twist to a vintage piece.





Love the color....like the sea.



An adorable spindle bed painted a calming green.  Mix match light weight linens....a lovely summer bed, to retire in.

A vintage 1940 "beach bathing beauties",  How risqué...they were.  I love this pic. 

When I can....and not go crazy purchasing stuff....I will be featuring wonderful little shops here on Ole Cape Cod.....Summer time....just can't resist, the shops, cafes, and the blue berry muffins!!

Friends are wonderful..

How precious is the picture.  Saw it on facebook and loved it.  Who is your precious old friend?  We have many types of friends in our lives...but there are those friends who have hung in there with you all through the years....many years....  That friend(s) knows you like a good old worn out book.  They have been with you through the good, the bad, and yes the ugly.  They are faithful, non judgemental....loving, caring....and they keep your deepest secrets deep down in their heart.  I am grateful to God for the gals He has put in my path..my whole life.  My friends.....but there are those {besties}....or {bestie}, that just have your back no matter what.  I treasure them.  Their value in your life is priceless.  What a treasure friendship is.  I am blessed.  You are blessed with who you consider to be your dear old friend.  Isn't it nice to go thru life with a wonderful close friend?
Thankful for my friends.  One of God's wonderful gifts to us.  Treasurers.

Nest in Peace Friends............Karen

Happy Wednesday to you dear friends.

Hello friends hope your Wednesday was a great one.  It is cool here on Cape Cod....still Spring weather....waiting for the warmer days to come, and oh they will.   Today was weigh-in day at W.W.  well I did loose just almost 1/2 pound.....the counselor said...it's in the right direction....yes it is I will take it.   Take two sticks of butter and hold them....that's a 1/2 lb.  off your body.  Pretty cool mental picture.  Remember the mental picture Oprah gave with going on her studio stage pulling a red wagon of pure fat...????  Yuck...

Love this verse...love Hymns and Verses too.  We buried our friend this week.  His service was beautiful, such a testament to his life seeing all the people fill...jam pack the funeral home.  He was a giving wonderful man.  He leaves behind a wife and three children ages 15-10yrs.  The Lord is faithful.....He knows the number of days we all have on this earth...and our friends was last Wednesday....he knows my end of days and yours....how shall we live those days out?  Lord may I live them out well....I am so thankful for your Faithfulness.  Lord help Scott's family during this time of grief and sorrow.  May we remember them in our prayers....may your saints do what is needed to help them.

Be well dear friends...know we have a hope..and a future with Jesus if you believe in His salvation...Scott did, he is in His glorious presence this day.
