And Again with the Vineyard, 2018: Day 8


Overcast, cool, and drizzly means starting puzzle #2, sitting around until noon, and checking out the craft fair (but no Teacher Kathy so we don’t stay).  We drive over to Katama to have lunch on South Beach, only to find that the Katama General Store has a new building and thus lost any remnant of general store charm.  It’s just an upscale shop now, with a porch and seating out front.  You’re not fooling us with that artfully rickety screen door, Katama General Store, we see your chèvre and fancy chocolate and know you for what you are – an upscale grocer. 

Our picnic and beach walk are windy and grey, which is really just a nice set-up for a nap. 

Clam roast with local sausages for dinner, and then it is time to initiate Izzy the Snizzy into Slapshot.  She finds it a little boring (“all hockey movies are just about fighting!”) but the rest of us spend the next several days considering various aspects of this cinematic icon, notably that, with apologies to Paul Newman, the Hansons are really the stars of the show.
