My Doodles Pumpkin and Cape Cod

@RasmaSandra , We have a 3 bathrooms house but I am not crazy about so much cleaning, I don't want another one,

We are all growing Doodles pumpkins. We have to go to his house and water it twice a day until he gets home. My house has 3 bathrooms. lol

@DianneN oh, I see. Even with families distancing is important.

@Alexandoy Yes, especially since he is out and about and doesn't live with us.

We are practicing social distancing. We toured the house with our masks on while our son stayed outside on the beach. It was a 5 hour roundtrip without much traffic.

Have you ever seen something familiar out of the corner of your eye only to turn and it's gone @DianneN ? Sometimes that's the spirit of one of our loved ones waving to us.

I sure hope so. I will kiss my pumpkin when it matures.

Yes, I have seem my mother's spirit and Doodle's spirit many times. It's a wonderful feeling @rebelann.

@DianneN I love that Doodle pumpkin.

@jstory07 Thank you!

There will be pics. Too rushed on our tour. Our son made us wear our masks and wouldn’t stay in the house with us in case he’s a carrier. Don’t you love our Doodles pumpkin? Check out the mouth.

Yes it is very cute.@SHOHANA.

@jstory07 how are you today? Do you also have Pumpkins on your garden?

@SHOHANA No we can never get them to grew.

@DianneN It's a shame your son doesn't like the beach more. I am in heaven when I am at the beach. But he still made a wise investment, especially if he is continually getting offers on it. Yes, your pumpkin does look like a kitty's mouth!

@moffittjc He enjoys it and swimming, but he's not one for sunbathing. I think when and if he sells it, he will make a killing. The house it turnkey and in perfect condition. Of course, the view is spectacular! I would love it for myself. A Doodles Pumpkin!!!!!

Thanks, Jeff! It all happened so quickly and what a deal he got. He will use it for the summer on weekends and perhaps take a 2 week vacation. He may lease it, rent it, or sell it. He keeps getting offers on it and it isn't even for sale. If the right bidder comes along, he'll consider it. He's not much of a beach person and would rather be out diving somewhere exotic. Doesn't the mouth look like a kitty mouth? lol We have a few more pumpkins growing, but my son has a lot more. He gets more sun than we do.

@DianneN Hopefully you will have a pleasant nap in the daytime. In the night time I hope that you sleep better. Yes, you had so much rushing around.

Thanks so much! It was a long drive, but worth it to get to see it for the first time. The mouth looked so much like a kitty mouth to me! I may need a nap today, too. Too much scurrying around yesterday and not enough sleep last night.

@maximax8 Thanks! I'm back to normal now.

@DianneN Oh my gosh - all that driving and only 45 minutes? I get that. We plan to visit MIL which would be an hour and a half . . . and we would probably only be able to see her through the window - but for how long. We'd have no intention of going to the marina or any restaurants or anywhere . . . so where could we really go but back home . I love that your son takes care of all the details - he makes it safe for you guys . I'm sure his new beach pad is friggin' amazing ! It's funny you talk about sneaking out. My sister and I have sort of forbid my parents to go out . . . but we found out after the fact that they snuck out at times to do some minor grocery shopping, went to the bank and hardware store . . . just because they were curious . My sister and I discussed well that they are adults and can make their choices . . . they just need to make sure they do all the right things to stay safe. We are treating our parents as if they are teens . My daughter loved the Doodle's pumpkin - she thought that was so adorable !

@much2say Exactly! Drive and return home safely! OMG! His place is amazing and much larger than I ever imagined. It's really way too huge for a bachelor. I believe it was built for a large family. The views are spectacular, too. I hope he rents it, leases it, or sells it. The flood insurance alone can put him in the poorhouse. You and your sister sound just like my son. We are behaving very well, but I have to remind my husband that it isn't necessary to go to certain places when I can order online. He's very stubborn and is one who used to go out every single day. At least he's been listening to me. When we go out, we are very careful. We shower immediately upon getting home and all clothes go right into the washing machine. I even sterilize the car and any door knob we touch. I also sterilize the doorbell when my son rings it. Tell your daughter, the artist, thank you!!!!!

Would you believe we were there for only 45 minutes??? Our son aired the house out an hour before we arrived and stayed outside with a mask on. He made us tour the house alone wearing our masks. The house is friggin amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then we all wore masks and social distanced as we walked along the beach. Back in the car and the long drive home. He is very protective of us and won't even let us shop. However, hubs snuck out a few times to gas and to pick up things through the drivethru at CVS. We have also gone for a few rides without our son knowing. Thanks! I spotted that kitty cat mouth and the rest came naturally.

@DianneN Your son is so protective, a very good boy. You both are not old fogies, not at all. My husband told me I hear Bubi meowing, I thought he was outside in front of the door, silly boy.

@LadyDuck Thanks. He is a wonderful kid. Silly you! You need to tune your ears in to where Bubi's little voice is coming from. He will be giving you many more surprises, I'm sure!

It was worth the trip to see the house and our son. He made us tour the inside alone wearing masks. He's so protective of us! We spent time walking on the beach with him, all wearing masks, and after a total of 45 minutes were back in the car heading home. . Very exhausting for two old fogies. That Bubi is so darn cute! He was itching to see you and found a new way into your house!!!!

We had to self tour the house wearing masks. Our son is so protective of us. We walked on the beach with him and chatted for 30 minutes wearing masks and social distancing as usual. We spent a total of 45 minutes there and headed home. What an exhausting day. lol If you look at the mouth on the pumpkin, you will see that it is indeed a Doodles pumpkin!

@just4him Thank you! I wish we could buy the place for ourselves.

@DianneN I see that. It is so cute. I'm glad you enjoyed your time with your son before returning home.

They call it a beach house, but it's huge! So glad you've been to Cape Cod. Hubs and I used to vacation there a lot, but not for several years. I never knew they had mushroom foraging.

@lovebuglena I'm familiar with Truro and of course, Provincetown. We tried staying in different areas each trip. I do love Chatham the most.

@DianneN My parents and I and some of our relatives and friends rented a house in Truro, MA. We went mushroom foraging somewhere near that area. We also went somewhere nearby to pick beach plum and rosehip. It was either the woods or some park. Don't remember. And we visited Provincetown as well. Beautiful place.

@shubhu3

It was a big day and a tiring. one. I'm glad you like the Doodles pumpkin!

@DianneN Yes I did.

Thanks! We only spent a total of 45 minutes there. My son made us tour the house by ourselves wearing masks, then we walked on the beach talking and social distancing. After that, back in the car for a long drive home. At least we finally saw the house. It took my breath away!

@DocAndersen That is how I first discovered the Cape. Friends with a house invited us. They still have it, but it’s on the bay side rather than the ocean. Still, beautiful!

@DianneN that is so awesome - i have spent many days on Cape Cod I had a friend with a house there (they sold it, moved to CA).

It's even larger today!!!!

@nawala123

@DianneN you can make some delicacy from it

@DianneN You are very welcome!

Thanks so much.

@DianneN You're most welcome.I bet they grow fast, never had a pumpkin growing since I don't like them.

Many thanks! The pumpkin is much larger today!!!

Thanks! The kitty mouth made it easy. My son loves that, too!

@DianneN

Next time I go. It's a big trip for us, and we won't stay overnight until this virus is long gone. Our son amazes us!!! He's so bright, energetic, hilarious, and so very kind to us. We are thrilled that he is so happy once again!!!

@Janet357 Thank you so much. They both are and get it all from their dad!

@DianneN Fortunate mom:) I think both of your sons are smart.

I thought so, too.

@sophie09 It's beginning to grow and is double that size now.

@DianneN never seen a pumpkin as small as that

Thanks so much! Oh, that beach house is more like a big, beautiful 6 bedroom home with a beautiful view!!!

@LotusEyes Thank you!

@DianneN Splendid. The house is very grand. Sounds great even with imagination
