So, you'd like to enjoy some light, crisp, potato chips on your roof deck or patio, but the wind is blowing them right out of the bowl. That was happening to me on the patio of the apartment we were renting in Provincetown. And, being a rental, it didn't have a large selection of containers to contain my snack.
Ed came to my rescue by serving my chips in a tall glass. "Portion control" since I didn't want to have the whole bag out there tempting me.
And, "wind control" since even the 20 knot winds that day didn't whip my chips out of the glass.

We're toasting the "Happy New Month" of October with Joël Falmet Champagne. (Consider sharing Our Sparkling Resolution to greet each month by popping a bottle of bubbly.)
This wine is another recommendation from Perry's Wine & Liquors in Provincetown. This west end shop has a expertly curated selection of wines, spirits, cheese, chocolate, and other lovely items.
Joël Falmet Champagne comes from Côte des Bar, a part of the Champagne region of France that has long supplied most of the grapes it grows to the great Champagne houses that have used them to improve the body and richness of their wines.
The Côte des Bar district is far from the heart of Champane and as the fact sheet on the wine tells us, the terroir of the region is unlike the typical soil and growing conditions in the best known areas of the region. "The Côtes des Bar generally produces richer, fuller-bodied wines than the Marne, partially because it is further south and therefore slightly warmer. In addition, the Kimmeridgian soil of the Côtes des Bar tends to produce richer wines than the light, fine chalk soil, found around Epernay."
This is a grower Champagne, meaning that Joël Falmet has been taking his family's grapes from soil to bottle since 1990. He produces a very pinot forward, full-bodied style that will appeal to those (like us) who love a lot of lush in their sparking wine. This blend is 70% Pinot Noir, 20% Pinot Meunier, and 10% Chardonnay.

When you’re a 5-month-old puppy like Ollie and still trying to make sense of your world, the simplest 4-letter words can mean the most – like “PLAY!”
And, while coaxing a human to get down on all fours can be fun, there’s nothing quite like mixing it up with someone who’s already at your level and even the same age. Well, as it happens, we know someone who fits that exact description.

Our Poppy met Ollie in Provincetown this past week and the two became instant play pals. As you can see by clicking through the images above, they had a lot of fun and always seemed to play fair.
This handsome French Bulldog is a Vermont boy who’s growing fast and loving life. He also seems to love the camera – this guy’s a natural.
Thanks for all the play time, Ollie! Oh, and Poppy wants to know when you’ll be in Ptown again.

We've been trying to fit as many experiences as possible into our new puppy's early life in Boston. Last week, we tested her sea legs with a Sunset Cruise around Boston Harbor. Yes, well-behaved dogs are welcome (more on that later). Meanwhile, here are a couple of photos Ed took that evening.
The schedule over at Boston Harbor Cruises is reduced this time of year but there are a few opportunites to get out and enjoy our beautiful city from the water. Their Historic, USS Constitution, and Weekend Brunch cruises are still running.
