  1. I have a question. The contractor working on our cape house just purchased an older MH

    that was well cared for and they are going to do the entire interior. They had mentioned

    putting in some ceramic tile floors. I don't recall ever seeing a MH with that type of flooring. 

    Thoughts?

  2. Three  One easy step to joining an FMCA chapter: Go right to step 4

    1. Find a chapter that interests you using the Chapter Search and request information from the group. NO WAY TO REQUEST INFO FOR CAPE CODDERS
    2. Check the Association Calendar for dates, times and locations of upcoming chapter rallies, and then visit a chapter of interest to you. Most FMCA chapter rallies are open to all members. NOTHING LISTED
    3. Contact FMCA's Chapter Services department by e-mailing chapters@fmca.com or calling (800) 543-3622 to learn more. DID THIS BEFORE NO REPLY
    4. Start your own chapter even if you are the only member.

    DB, my wife's Grandmother was from Assuncao, Vila Do Porto Santa Maria...Julia Lima!  Linda does a lot of research in the old Archives, problem is, she has trouble with the "Old Script."  Julia's sister was the mother of Tony Lima (PGA Golf)!  Linda has traced her Mothers side (Lima to 1665 Velho family), Julia married a Mello from Graciosa.  

    Sure would be nice if your DW and my DW could get together!  

     

    My wife, Lucia, is from Santo Espírito, Santa Maria. She was born and raised there. You never know maybe the queens are related somehow.

    Let me know if you ever head this way. We know of some good Portuguese markets, bakeries and restaurants in Fall River. We stay stocked with all those goodies.

    D, can you explain the reason or traditions of your wife. Just wondering. (Hopefully no offence) 

    Thanks, Herman

    She was raised in Santa Maria Acores, almost all of there food came from the ocean. They know how to eat and cook it in everyway possible.

    I don't eat the heads though but have fried up dozens. When she is done you can't tell that was 1/2 a fish...lol. Most all in her family can separate the bones

    in their mouth and spit them out later, then bring the shellfish into it and you need wet weather gear.

     

    btw....I have cabin fever bad.

    You had to scramble, hope your personal belongings and furniture is stored close to you!

    I wish you and your family, a wonderful and healthy Christmas! 🎅:)

    Big time scramble. Talk about anxiety to the max Everything is in storage.

    The cape has a fold out table, plastic chairs and a blow up mattress also a Christmas tree set up that was left in the shed.

    The queen and I will be hiding out there for the holidays. I even got all the equipment to go quahogging and stay dry and warm.

    Christmas blessings to all.
