Win one for the hometown.
If they don't win it's a shame.
At the old ball game.

Perfect Day
A 58 year old man married for the first time at sunset on Old Silver Beach in Falmouth on Saturday night. The bride was gorgeous and only 20 years old. Friends from his high school class of 40 years ago attended. The first dance was done to Elvis Presley's Love Me Tender. Now that's Old School. Better late than never.

Hot Air Balloons
Some Martha's Vineyard lanterns carry passengers. One house in Oak Bluffs displayed these on Illumination Night.
Grand Illumination Night 2013
It wouldn't be summer without the lanterns in Oak Bluffs in August. All the gingerbread houses are full of colorful lanterns hanging from the porches and the rafters.
There will be a community sing in the Tabernacle and the Vineyard Haven band organized in 1868 by both Confederate and Union veterans of the Civil War will play for the crowd.
A signal will be given in the open air Tabernacle and all the houses in the camp meeting ground will be lighted. It's a Summer tradition on Martha's Vineyard. Perhaps the President of the United States who is vacationing on the island will attend this year.
It will be a perfect night. Clear, cool and fresh describes today. Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place. As John Wesley said: The best of all is God is with us.
Peace

FALMOUTH IN THE RAIN
If you spend a weekend
You'll spend a year
Visiting Falmouth Harbor
Which is so dear.
You're sure to fall in love
With old style Massachusetts
With its clam shacks
And sailboat sunsets.
Bournes Pond is so peaceful
With its clam beds and Swan
There's 2.5 miles for you
to kayak or sail upon.
Perhaps a sexy wench
Or a schooner you'll see
At the Clam Shack pier
Open daily for you and me.
