You know what's kinda funny, I've never been to Nantucket. I'm in love with Woods Hole -- the beauty is just so incredible - those pristine beaches, old homes on the water, and of course the Marine Bio Institute (what can I say, I'm a nerd). I love being able to hop on a ferry and cruise over to Martha's Vineyard - a lovely island, even with all the libs that live there. I've just never made it to Nantucket. I know there's a fast ferry to N -- I can't remember if it leaves from both Woods Hole and Hyannis, or just out of Hyannis.

I'd think I'd died and gone to Heaven if I could afford waterfront property in the Woods Hole area. It is even more stunning than Maine, to me. A different kind of beauty. The thing is, not only is it ridiculously expensive, it is a shame that tourists (like myself) have discovered it because the traffic on the Cape is just so atrocious.

One goal I have is to rent a place on MV and rent one of those little motorbikes and tour the island. They're pretty reasonable and I'm such a sap for that kind of thing -- I'd be taking pictures every half minute - it would take me forever to get all over the island. But what a treat!

If you feel that way about Nantucket, maybe you would be better served finding a spot on the island. I'm sure Teh-ray-zuh could help you locate a place to stay (grin).

That's a thought - I'll just write Teresa and offer to housesit, as I imagine she and Effin will be staying at one of her other houses in April (plus we have a year to plan it). I just hope she doesn't make us use the portapotties in the back yard.

You paint a pretty picture of Maine and Mass. I have never been there but think I will put it on my list. I have always heard that Martha's Vinyard is a beautiful place, too. A lot of libs have abandoned it for Nantucket and the Hamptons, though.

I love C. Herrera. As we discussed before, Renee Z. almost always wears her. And are you aware that after the Oscars Renee got a new hair color, much nicer than the shoe polish black she had at the Oscars...not blond but brown with a reddish tint...
