Thank you all for your amazing letters regarding the Town Hall page. We received a very nice email from the Town Manager, Sharon Lynn, regarding the page as well. It is all such a labor of love. History is a passion in this house.
As you all know at Gabriel's breakfast table over coffee frequently is the talk show...
"Bedside Books ...what's on your nightstand now?" ( it has a cute jingle, which we sing when that time of the morning approaches. Pity you can't hear it and see the curtain that drops from the ceiling in the Great Room)....
Do you really want to know how deep the historian, mentioned above, geek trail, runs?
Here is Eleanor's bed side table
See, I was not kidding! Well, the story goes deeper than just picking this book randomly off a bookstore shelf. One of the E's family has a missing portrait "mysteriously lost" from the White House, in the fire of 1814. How it fell into the family is a long story reserved for the book she will one day write about her Great Grandmother...and that book will be written!
Let's move on shall we....
We will from here forward call this...

Every day a new path for our daily walk...
These are all snaps from recent walks.
It has been a beautiful fall
One day we were lucky enough to walk right into
thousands of Autumn Fairies fluttering about having one last gathering
before their long winters nap.
Then onto what could be the set for Lord of the Rings

Random snapshots from recent life in and about Provincetown
Movie review of the weekend.
A side note, it was great to see half of Provincetown in the Wellfleet theatre last night!
We saw a new Judi Dench movie...
I think James Bond might have made an appearance here and there.
I'm not quite sure but Christopher assures me he did...oh well.
Other than those Bond interruptions, Judi's screen time was great!
I think it's fitting to feature a couple of Judi shots.
Shouldn't every blogjournal feature Judi at some all the time??
Today, our Sunday morning walk took us pass a Bradford Street neighbor.
Peter Warnock & John Culver
They own 129 Bradford Street. This is a wonderful 1790's home called, Hollyhock. They are completely renovating! It was such a treat to see the 1800's buried wallpaper and all the original features. We wish them the best of luck!

The Coffeehouse has been going on for almost two decades,
with weekly ‘open mics’ from
November to May.Writers, playwrights, poets, comedians, musicians and others are all welcome to perform at the Coffeehouse, which was started by the local singer-songwriter Peter Donnelly and Mews Restaurant owner Ron Robin in the ‘80s. Donnelly continues to serve as the ‘open mic’ host.
The Coffeehouse is a benefit for Provincetown’s Outermost Community Radio Station WOMR (a $3 donation is suggested). Performances start on Mondays at 8 p.m., with the featured performer taking the stage at 9 p.m.
Let us not ever forget Drag Karaoke at the Governor Bradford on Saturday nights in the winter.Every Sunday morning we hear the tales of Saturday nights adventures with Karaoke!
Just this morning we heard the following.."Oh my god did I sing 6 songs last night..." And that was from Elizabeth Gabriel!!
Grand Union becomes Stop & Shop....
It is now official: the Stop & Shop supermarket chain will be taking over the town’s lone grocery store, now operated by Grand Union Family Markets.This will occur in early December, and the store will be closed for approximately five days during the transition, although the pharmacy will remain open. As you can see from this picture, we truly need a new market.
Yes, we have many times that curtain drops from the Great Room ceiling during breakfast...
Another little impromptu talk show moment
"What is on the tele in your house...what is your favorite.. ba da bing ....ding ding show...."...That said....
<-- Yes, Ina gets her own row Ding ding ding...
Let us not forget these winners..

It's Mr. Pippin movie time!
Don't forget Holly Folly Weekend December 5th and 6th!
