A night out in Sandwich

Sandwich beach

Margaret & Kevin arrived from Boston yesterday morning. We all went to the Son's Of Erin for Michael's graduation party then back to Sandwich for an evening stroll on the boardwalk and along the beach. When we got home we introduced them to "Father Ted" and watched three episodes from Ryan's dvd. They had never seen it before and really enjoyed it. This morning Kevin and Pat went to hit a bucket of golf balls at the driving range then we all went out for a sandwich and a stroll along the Cape Cod Canal by the visitors centre. Just chilling for a while now at the house before going out for some seafood and a visit to Katy for some ice-cream at the Polar Cave where she is working.

Man at work!

As you can see Pat has been busy in the garden. He wants to put a window in the room in the basement so yesterday he dug out the ground to see if it might be possible. The soil is not really soil, it's just sand. We are now trying to find someone who can cut out a hole in the concrete for us.
Today he attacked the tree by the driveway. We went and bought an axe from the hardware store. The tree is now gone, and the dining room is much brighter. He's eyeing up the conifer on the other side of the house now as well! The last few days have been beautiful weather, not too hot, just right and not too humid. We have pottered around the house and haven't ventured very far. Katy has made a load of chocolate cup cakes for Michael's graduation party, which is tomorrow.
Margaret and Kevin will also be arriving tomorrow, to spend a few days with us so we are looking forward to that.
