A WEEK IN RHODE ISLAND

We drove the car down from Maine to Rhode Island to stay at my brother's beach house in Misquamicut.  We made a point of getting there in time to see my nephew, Ryan, before he headed back to Colorado.  We're excited for Ryan because he's moving back to New England after finding himself in Colorado.

The beach weather was perfect and the waves were some of the highest we've ever seen.  They were so strong that the beach was closed to swimmers because of the dangerous undertow and the tide was so high that over half the beach area was covered.  That was different.

We celebrated Kathleen's, my sister-in-law, birthday at a nice restaurant with two of her brothers, my two nieces and my brother.  Great food and fun.  Thank you Ken for sharing her day with all of us in such a special way.

The downside of all this fun was I caught the cold that Ryan gave his dad and that lingering cough is annoying.

Meeting up with new and old friends is why we love this lifestyle.

Now we're back in our favorite campground in Wells, Maine and our daughter, Christi and Phil, came down from Montreal for a visit.  We love having them visit with us.  Yesterday was a cool beach day but still very relaxing.  Last night Christi and Phil treated us to chicken and beef kabobs on the grill and we all ate like pigs.  We challenged each other to a aggressive game of Mexican Train followed by a comedy before heading bedtime.

Thanks for stopping in to say hi and God bless.
