Treasure Hunt

Our friends had a yard sale this past weekend. I of course couldn't bear to part with any of my treasures (I guess that's the old yankee in me) but we went to help and to see if there were any "treasures" we couldn't do without. Paul said he was trying out my next vehicle....very funny Paulie!!! I think I found the best treasure, the 80's headpiece...how do you like it? Despite the cold weather it was fun and of course we came home with a truck full!

New Roof

The roof is finished and it came out great....good job Clint & Martin! Now it's time for Paul to get out his paint brush.

Weekend at the Beach

Friends of ours invited us to their log cabin beach house in Narragansett for the weekend. It is right across the street from the beach and sits on 13 acres (which if pretty crazy for Narragansett). The weather was beautiful for walking on the beach, sad to say not for swimming though. Being the junk collectors we are we had to go to the flea market and everyone of course found something they couldn't live without.

New England Color

The colors are so beautiful around here now. It seemed like it happened over night. I thought I'd share some of the fall colors with everyone.

Little Critters

These little monarch caterpillers seemed to love my mums. They are a sure sign that fall is here.

Back To The Cape

So we all went to the Cape this weekend to celebrate a couple of birthdays. While we were riding around we found a pile of "treasures" on the side of the road that said FREE. Someone had a yard sale and these were all of the left overs. Joe and I got out a we couldn't believe all the cool stuff we got.....for FREE!!! :-) One of the boxes was full of cook books still in their cellophane wrappers and another box was full of VHS tapes - hey what do you want for free :-) Everything we got was brand new, it was crazy. We filled the back of the Durango! I hope you can see some of our treasures. The little house we're in front of is the "gift shop" at the town transfer station.....more free treasures!!! A great weekend....tons of laughs and FREE STUFF!!!!! :-)

One last ride out on to our "private"beach. I can't believe how fast this summer went by. The water was still beautiful....I had to put my feet in :-)

YUMMMMMM!

Gabriel had his first taste of food yesterday.....green beans. Amanda said he loved them!

Garage Repair

It's nice having a carpenter in the family :-) For years Paul has wanted to change the roof on the garage in the front of the house (pretty nice that Rayna married such a handy guy) so Bearss Construction is building us a new roof. This was the first day of demolition....what a mess!! One good thing about doing this, we got rid of a lot of those things that Paul just had to save. More pics to come as we progress.

Welcome To Mrs. Bearss' Class

Rayna has her own classroom! She was hired in Smithfield, at her favorite school, as a permanent sub for the third grade. She's very happy that she's finally a "real" teacher and excited to have her own class. I helped her a little with setting things up the way she wanted them....just like the old days when I use to go to school with her to help her teachers. Good job Rayna - I mean Mrs. Bearss :-)
