So, I' ve been home a week and I think I finally feel better after my trip. It was sad going to Steve's Boss's wake but nice to see some of his old friends. I was able to visit some friends graves and of course my parents as well.
The highlight of the trip was spending time with my Sis, she surprised me by renting a a little place by the ocean! Every afternoon we stopped and got a Dunkin Donuts coffee and donut and sat at the ocean watching the seagulls and waves as the sun kept us all toasty warm.
I got to see some old haunts and all the beach's and bridges that my Sis insisted I revisit. I forgot just how much I missed the salt air, sand, light house's and water birds. And then let's not forget the food!! The first night in RI we went to Georges Seafood Restaurant right on the ocean and ate fried clams! as long as I live I will never get sick of eating those wonderful morsels of yummyness..lol Such a small thing brought me so much pleasure.
Needless to say I had a ball catching up with my sister and tasting all the things New England has to offer that the South doesn't. Luckily I was able to bring a few things home for Steve to enjoy. Not having them as often makes it all the more special!
So when will I go back there? not so sure. I was surprised and sad to see how much my sister changed as far as her health, and her just the way she acts now. I am nearly eight years older than her, yet she seems far older than me. She is such a creature of habit and there were moments I felt as if I was with a grand parent not the once punk rocker who once thought nothing of shaving her long golden locks to nearly a crew cut! Though all in all she was still the same funny sister who could always always make me laugh until I cried.
So my trip was successful and fun but, I was so happy to be pulling down our driveway! and seeing all Steve's hard work to make the yard look so nice for my home coming. I was so glad to be back on home ground even if it doesn't have all my favorite things I grew to love in RI. Now I have new loves, like our deer, chicken, quail, and not to mention the fact we have a lot of privacy being surrounded my trees, and the dogs! I missed them way more than I though possible, almost as much as I missed Steve, I was so happy to get home and kiss his face!
My sister Kim
A very tired me!..lol
You just can't beat the ocean!
