on the east end

this morning we headed out to montauk for a week's visit. korrina has work this week so she's holding down the fort at home - taking care of the cats. it's been very hot again. we'll be happy to feel the cool sea breezes. our first stop was the hampton library. we had a few books overdue from our last visit in may. morgana and i also wanted to check out two movies: pirates of the caribbean, dead man's chest, and at world's end. chanda checked out hugo and tin tin. m and c also found a VHS movie with lauren bacall: the mixed up files of mrs. basil e. frankweiler. they enjoyed it (they loved lauren bacall), but were disappointed that it wasn't filmed at the met (or maybe that was just me).

jack always manages to look cozy in a cramped space.

we also stopped in east hampton for ella enchanted. chanda has read the book and wanted to  see the movie. korrina watched it years ago.

greg is curled up in one of the favorite reading nooks . . 

it's nice to be able to step outside for a flower for the table . . 

. . and nice to step outside for a shower!

 it wasn't as long of a drive as the one to maine, but we did have a lot to pack, including four bikes.

 jack is happy to have a cool tile laundry room floor to lie on. if only he had this in the city. if only i had this in the city!

a treat from the supermarket . . 

. . nana's geraniums . . 

 and petunias (whose aroma always remind me of the many petunias that lined the entrance to jones beach . . ).
