Beach cottage artifacts.
I like to see how other people decorate beach cottages. I’ve noticed a lot of ocean paintings and photos of sea-going ships. A lot of shells, seaglass, and driftwood.
Here are photos of artifacts we have in our place — some beach-y, others just lighthearted.

It’s going to be an adjustment, not just in terms of time zones. Monday we are off to Oslo and will catch our plane back to Boston from Norway on Tuesday.
Here are a few more Sweden pics.
I love the picturesque seaside streets and cottages, the hidden staircases covered with flowers, the boats in snug harbors, the colorful cabins, and the views.
The last picture is one that Stuga 40 took at 10 p.m. Imagine how light it is in Sweden in June!

When the twins Bill and Ted were 50, they called their party a 100th birthday party. Now they are younger.
I’m posting a few pictures from today’s celebration at the family’s vacation place in Halifax, Massachusetts. The old stove and the dock on the lake belong to the twins’ sister’s cottage, which she keeps as much as possible the way it looked when it was built in the 1890s.
The whole area had a nice old-timey feel and reminded me a bit of my grandfather’s place in Beverly Farms. Especially the pine needles. The Lebanese spread was catered by chefs that Bill met when Kristina twisted his arm to take a cooking class. It was yummy.
The lakeside neighborhood seems to have a fishing culture, as witnessed by a neighbor’s fishing-lure mailbox.
