My Cape Cod Dream

Last night in my dream, I was a child on Cape Cod,
This is what I remember, after really thinking hard,

Fog horns that blow, the sounds of a black crow,
a cranberry bog on good ol' cape cod

Blue shell crabs, my old tennis shoes,
sand in my sandwich and
lots of wahoos.

Castles and moats, big giant boats,
Stuffed quahogs and sand in my clogs.

Digging for clams, jumping up and down,
Fiddler crabs fiddling and shopping-up town.

My musty old cottage, the smell lingers on,
I won't stay away for it's all that I long.

Those people, that place, please let me go,
I can't live without it, you tell me you know.

Today I woke up from my Cape Cod dream, 
and found myself craving Smitty's Ice Cream!

     The author of "A Cape Cod Dream", Terri Maney, is a 3rd generation "Cape Cod Kid"  who spent her summers at their "musty old cottage" that her Grandparents built, and "jumping up and down for clams" at places like Woodneck Beach and Great Pond in Falmouth are included in some of the best memories in her life. Even her Mother and Father met each other here on the Cape, themselves, as "Cape Cod Kids." After realizing her dream to live here year round, Terri sold her insurance agency in Cherry Hills, Colorado and relocated here 2 years ago. Terri Maney has said; "Living on the Cape is a very unique and special privilege that so many wish to have but can never imagine how to make it happen. Although I had no idea what I would do for work once I came over the bridge, I was determined to make my dreams come true. I feel very fortunate to be a part of this truly unique community which offers up a diverse landscape of opportunity."
