I'll Be Checking In To Detox Tomorow!

We had our 4th Annual Reef Cup Girls Club.  SO MUCH FUN!!!  We have a couple of new members this year.  Len and Jaye were so kind to let me stay at their house.  Thanks guys.  I had a great time with the girls and the in-laws.

"The wreck of the Barbara Fitzgerald"

 Barbara deep sea diving.  You can't leave something like that laying around in a bar and expect it to just sit there!

 On the last night I took Roseanne, Len and Jaye to the 9th Hole as a token thank you for a great weekend.

 Everton got us out of our box this year.  He introduced us to VooDoo Buckets (seen above) and Reef 22's.  And of course there was the good ole Reef Cups.

 The founding members of The Reef Cup Girls Club.  Check out low tide.  It was the day of the "super moon" so it was really LOW.

Feb. trip to the Farm

The boys and I took a road trip to TN to see everyone.  It was a quick trip but a lot of fun.  These are the photos at Vivi's house.  We spent the night there and it was warm enough to sit outside and enjoy the weather.

 Master Gardener and Chef!

My Lack Of Christmas Photos/Daddy's toupee

I'm very late posting and it's been awhile I know but what can I say.  Life gets in the way of blogging sometimes doesn't it?

I didn't take any exciting photos over Christmas but there was one I HAD to post.  I have a Christmas tree which is nothing  but birds.  I have all of these cute feather wreaths hung on it also.  Daddy put it on his head as his "toupee".  It was hysterical.

All Bets Are OFF!!!

The week after we got home from RI at dinner one night Daniel was tell us he was looking on accuweather.com and that he learned we were going to have a white Christmas.  We all laughed and joked.  Since it was a month away Le said, "If we have a white Christmas I'll run two laps around the house in my underwear, barefoot."  SURE NUF, it started snowing Xmas day and we got four inches.  The last white Christmas was 1963.  At 8pm Dec. 25th Le ran two laps around the house.  We DID allow him to wear his swimsuit.

Before

After...Priceless.

Christmas Morning 2010

I don't know why but I didn't take many pictures.  I guess we were having too good of time just "doing" Christmas.

Thanksgiving in Rhode Island 2010

 It was a long hard drive but worth it.  I'm sorry but some of these pictures got out of order.  It was great being able to visit with everyone.  John and Kelly invited us all over for meat pies Wednesday night.  I loved seeing the renovations being made to their home. It's looking great.  I SO enjoyed seeing the Marks' girls.  The boys enjoyed visiting with the Marks grand kids as well.

Grammie's beautiful table

 Ok, so.  Stephen and Anne's neighbors had this wicked catapult.  This is some serious stuff!  It has a 450lb weight on it and they spend HOURS perfecting the arc, projection, etc.  These are the day time shots.

It was freezing but Jeff had on shorts!

It took minimum five people to pull the weight down

Daniel and Tommy

Ok.  I'm noticing I have all these pictures of Dan but none of Le.  I promise he was with us.

Jaye and Mrs. Marks This picture should have been up at the top.  Sorry.

Back to Thanksgiving....Jenny and Jaye

 Back to the catapult. (I warned you the pictures were out of order.)At night it's a whole new game.  They drill holes into the pumpkins and pour gasoline in it.  Stuff a rag into one of the holes.  Light it on fire.  And let it fly.

Kids, don't try this at home!

Ready!.......Set!!.....

FIRE!!!

It was as much fun watching the kids take off running with a wheelbarrow and dirt to put the fires out.  

Len taking it all in.

Wonderful Stop Over in NYC!

We were able to stop in and spend the night with Scott and the girls in NYC.  TOO much fun!  Scott, as always, was a wonderful host. (Even giving up his bedroom to me and Sandy!) He took us to see Blue Man Group.  The show exceeded my expectations.  Daniel was belly laughing.  After a nice relaxing morning and lunch we grudgingly departed NYC and made our way to Tiverton.

 Dinner at Cellar 85

 I know I've said it before but as Forrest Gump would say, "They go together like peas and carrots".

 The kids skipping (Literally) down the street.
