After traveling, when I see the Captain ,I know that it is not much longer before I am home. My daughter's aunt came for a visit this past summer and took this picture of the Captain. Now, in the summer time, what usually takes three minutes or so to drive by any other season, could be up to a 20 minute standstill with all the traffic.
This past month we had a bit of a storm and sadly the Captain did not fare well. While Tim was in Truro, Rich and I took a little drive to see what damage the storm did.
The poor fellow lost his head in the storm! He also took a bit of a beating.
Just a mile or so down the road from the Captain used to be a motel that had a statue of a man in a black suit. This man would tip his hat as you drove by. I can't tell the excitement my sister and I used to have seeing it. That man has long disappeared and all that remains are the run down motel sitting on a barren cement slab.
Britt, in her own humor, decided to photoshop the picture and added Jack to the Captain's body. He doesn't look too happy about the situation does he?
take care,
Dawn

Great story about the Captain. The picture is hilarious!
Ah, poor Captain. Not only did he have to endure beheading, now he has to stand there and let everyone see his plight.
I agree with you, and sure hope they repair this fellow.
Maybe Jack is scared that he is next. ;-)
I hate to see any old landmark lost. We used to have a Kip's Big Boy, with the Big Boy out if front, bigger than life. It's been gone for decades, but I think of it each time we pass that site.

Hi Dawn, I should be in bed but Beverly said you were blogging again and I wanted to tell you I am glad and that I have missed you. this is quite sad and funny too. Poor little Jack he does not look happy. smile.
I hate to see the old business going bad. time sure changes our lives when we see things like that. Old landmarks are important to us. We just lost a wonderful old home of 100 years to a fire. It was all stone and so neat. Not any more.
I must hit the hay as they say. Bill has hollered at me five times with a time report. HA!. He and Cheri' have already gone to bed.
Take care and keep up the blogging.
Hugs xoxo, Jeanne
Oh no What will we do without that Jolly Captain to greet us when we arrive on our vacation. Poor fella. We had a giant man here in front of one of the big car dealerships and when it closed years ago, a motel in another town bought it. Now when you get off the mass pike in Chicopee, he stands there to greet you. I still miss him in his old spot. We are such visual creaturs. Darrell
Hi Dawn
Oh its so nice to see you here. That would be too bad if they didn’t fix that guy up there. He does look good with Jack’s head on his shoulder although he’s not very happy.
I hope you had a Happy Easter with your family. Hopefully your weather has been nice too. Ours has been so amazing. I don’t know what “we” did to deserve it but we are so grateful for a gentle winter and early spring.
*hugs*
Have a great day

Hi Dawn, I am back just to say hello. I scrolled down to see your other posts since the headless captain has not gone away. HA!
My house is dusty too. I hate it whn the sun shines in my big windows and show every spec. LOL. Dusting is only a short fix. sigh.
I love Idol and they are all good. I am so glad Mike was saved. What will happen next?
Can you believe your school year is counting down already? I want to stop more often and smell the roses.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Hugs, Jeanne
Okay, Grandma. It is way past time to help poor Jack. He isn't happy up there.
Is this the week you are off, or is it next week?
Hello Dawn, Beverly told me you are home on spring break. Yippee. Then she said you hurt your back. Bummer!!! I hope you fell better soon. I bet you feel as bad as your beheaded captain. HA!
Sending you get well wishes Dawn.
Hugs, Jeanne
Hi Dawn, if you read this comment today would you do me a favor and comment on my post today. It is my grandsons 13th birthday and I did a special post about him. You know how boys are, he will be looking for comments. Friday is usually a slow day for comments. Go figure. I'm doing the grandma thing today. BIG smile.
Thanks so much. I hope you are feeling better by now.
Hugs, Jeanne
It has been awhile since you posted this one soooo....did Caption Jolly get fixed after that storm? We have had lots of rain this year. I think more is coming. Very unusual for us. It feels like Spring has not been here much.

Do not spend more than you can afford to buy your ideal home. A real estate purchase is a big decision. There is nothing wrong with setting high standards and firm goals to make sure your home purchase is a satisfying one. But your financial limitations are the most ironclad variable in the home-buying process.

Master the stop and shoot. Basketball is so much about movement that sometimes the most effective manner to get clear of an opponent is to surprise them with no movement at all. Master dribbling up court fast and when you hit a mark you're comfortable with, stop short, pull up and shoot. Your opponent will find it tough to stop their forward movement, so you'll have a clear look at the basket.
