Rhode Island Retreat-Rest for the Weary

I've said it before, my mom and dad's house is like a little retreat in the woods. At times it's covered in snow with the neighbors riding their horses down the street, or the kids next door running around the bases pretending to be the Red Sox, the frogs croaking in the ponds. I love it. Then the next moment one is reminded you are in fact in Rhode Island. The farmer boys drive past about 500 times on their dirt bikes or quads and the worker at Walmart has four teeth. I'm o.k. with that. It's still my retreat in the woods.

To sum up our little February 16th getaway trip, a weekend in pictures.

Hike to Rome Point at Narragansett Bay saw this fella...or someone like him.



Did a lot of items with this bad boy.



Fed some of these after church.



(Well, they looked similar.)

And....partook of a little too much of this.



And last but not least, wanted to do this to the buyers of my parents house when they "popped in."



No,no buyers.

Let's just call this weekend a complete success. Thanks Grandma Joyce, and thank you Walmart employees. I had a great time.
