My husband’s cousin’s son (is that second cousin?) is a doctor. He was the first physician who diagnosed my late mother’s terminal cancer and was the epitome of professionalism with compassion.

And if that’s not impressive enough? I’ve just discovered he’s been hiding a whole lotta artistic talent under that white coat.

Apparently the basement of his old Victorian home is being turned into a shrine to rock and roll.

He just started posting pictures of his work and all I could think was, damn.

The boy has mad skills.

Cape Cod Day 7… Highfield Hall, some twigs and the last supper.

January 19, 2020 Rivergirl 23 Comments

Since we were in the area we thought we’d check it out.

The Hall however, had other ideas and was locked up tight.

But there were twigs.

Lots and lots….

Of twigs.

Cleverly wound twigs.

Twigs you could walk through.

Big twigs.

Really big twigs.

Respect the twigs.

Got it.

There was also a sunken garden….

That was mostly dead since it was the middle of November.

But it had whimsical birds on a polka dot tree in the middle, so that more than made up for it.

Yes, it was a banner visit.

Good thing there were twigs so it wasn’t a complete waste of time.

Blah, blah, blah… I know, you’re getting bored and are silently screaming for food.

Our last meal in Cape Cod ended up being at the Stomping Grounds Grille in Buzzards Bay.

And while buzzards aren’t usually the best dinner companions…

This place looked promising.

It was basically a lovely old home…

Retro fitted to a restaurant/bar.

And while I was walking around…

I discovered a theme.

A rock and roll theme….

And when I saw Jerry Garcia on the shelf?

I felt right at home.

See? My kind of place…

The cocktail list made me smile and order a few.

As we chatted with the very personable bartender who told me there was a turntable in the back room with an album collection…. and we could play anything we liked.
