Let's talk about the vacation first.  And there were many firsts this vacation.  I will list them:
(1) 1st time we had a dog at Wellfleet.  What a smile to see him come out of the guest house in the morning.
(2) 1st time I rode out alone with just Ava.  Nice conversations.
(3) 1st time we had an animal living with us in the attic...noisy during a thunderstorm and Regina taped him making noise at night. 
(4) 1st time to go to a concert, heard Judy Collins, had tears as she talked about Pete Seeger while singing "Where have all the flowers gone?"
(5) 1st time Ria's bench was right in front of the Preservation Hall, facing Main Street, with a flower garden in front, and a statue of a mother and child to her left.  Nice to sit there every morning with the Cape Cod Times.
(6) 1st time Rachael and Miles and girls had a MANSION with a million dollar view of the gut.  Took my breath away.
(7) 1st time sharing fundador with Chrissy, but like Maureen, the laughs flew.
(8)1st time Zander spend a week with us.  Watching him down clam chowder was like watching a hot dog eating contest.

The rest was pretty much as usual, kids building sand castles, visit from O'Leary family, with an assortment of beers in a cooler, church on Sunday, but again, memories of Maria as the priest said we should "Practice random acts of kindness", the bumper sticker she had on her car for years.  The Wellfleet years blend together, all the same and always different.
