He was a very sweet Bull.




Poor Daddy, but he asked for it.



We said good- bye to summer yesterday. We went to one of the prettiest places in RI. Little Compton, Goosewing Beach. It's how RI is supposed to look. The epitome of a small New England town.Time has been kept at arms length in Little Compton. Right on the water, well kept older homes, surrounded by fields and wild flowers, small farms. As you ride by homes they sell their fruits and veggies at roadside stands. Most are unattended and rely on the honor system. Yesterday we bought a 2 pound bag of apples for $1.00. They even had an apple and knife set aside so you could sample before you buy.Our dollar went into a cleaned out butter container(which was quite full). Can you imagine that.
We had fun on one of the cleanest beaches anywhere, collected shells to make ornaments out of at Christmas time, and had to stop at best ice cream place on the East Coast.
All in all a perfect ending to a great summer. And may I add it was all Peter's idea. I didn't really feel like going... but again, when he's right he's right.
BTW, we didn't put the baby near that bull( I think it's a bull, a boy cow?) until we saw another family let him lick their kid.YUCK! At least we new he was a friendly bull ,we even gave him a couple of our apple cores.

  1. OH!! What a wonderful place!! I want to come! And the price of the apples?? I need apples...hmmmm...let's see. Leave a note to whomever might care that we have gone "to buy some apples"....(incidentally forget to mention that they are in RI)...

    The pictures are adorable and love the one of Daddy with the girls hanging all over him - too cute!
