THE WORLD AS A FAMILY

by Pawtuxet - last update: May 7, 2008

Our family has travelled as much as possible over the years. As my kids were growing up, we made annual journeys...and it was one of the best things we ever did for them. It has helped all of us to be more adventurous, tolerant, diverse, interesting, and fun. Surely all of you share those same feelings about your travels...

MY BIRTHDAY WEEKEND IS MORE SPECIAL BECAUSE OF ALL OF YOU GREAT VTers. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SWEET BIRTHDAY WISHES FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. I LOVE THIS STUFF!!!

Decided to part with the scooter

Thought the scooter was going to be the answer for me. Scooting around town looking very European.... sigh...I just haven't used it. It does save gas (about 75 Mi.Per gallon) It has only 44 original miles on it. Handy storage in rear box...plenty of room for bread, wine, cheese, and other essentials.

I'm on a new kick now....thinking about buying a fully restored 1969 Volkswagen Beetle --- with fabulous big white wall tires!! I told Francesca she will have to find me a wonderful hat in a French antique shop so we can travel about the town in my bug (if I buy it) and we would look terribly chic !! :-)

SOME PAGES TO CHECK OUT....

Boston , Newport , and Providence AFTER RECENT TOUR W/ CALIFORNIA BUDDY

**iNTERESTING TRIP TO Savannah, Georgia... CHECK! SAVANNAH

Long Island, NY for the first time to explore the wineries and stay in a little cottage at the waterfront.

Return to Poland...

Enjoyed my 4th wonderful trip to Poland. Memories of my journey and all that I learned continue to wash over me. So many beautiful and powerful images to share with all of you. I can only recommend that if you haven't been to Poland....GO NOW!! Discover it before the mass of tourists do...and before it becomes too much like everyone else. It's just very special...as are its people. Come back to my pages to enjoy Poland soon.

Thanks to VT...this new pen pal found me thru a Google search !! Yeaaahhhh, VT !!! :-)


Poreby Dymarskie
I sometimes call her "Aussie -bean"

The Boss in the Family

Here is my "Australia". She's my very special side kick...with a wonderful story to tell. Hope you will check my Travelogue to learn the story of a ~"Australia"~ the heroine of the story
UPDATE!!***!!
Aussie's story was published in a book entitled "Disposable Dogs" by Steve Swanbeck. She's a star!!:-)
UPDATE 2008
A call from the author of "Disposable Dogs" informed me he's done another printing of this book...which has been his best selling book to date! Must be because of my Aussie's story.... wink, wink

Our cottage rental ~ short term

The cottage is at the back of our property and we do short term rental here. We've renovated the whole thing, raised the ceilings to the rafters, refinished, painted, restored, and redecorated.
It is so cute now! I've created a new Travelogue to show off our work and for you to review it in case you plan to travel this way. Take a look at our little Cottage Rental
UPDATE: JUST ADDED PICS AND INFO RE: A STUDIO APARTMENT TO MY PAWTUXET PAGE....ALSO AVAILABLE SHORT TERM.

HERE IS THE LATEST ~ CK. OUT THE SUPERMAN BLDGS.

Tiabunna just sent us another pic of a Superman building. It's in the collection in my travellogues...in case you are a student of architecture.... or a fan of BIGGLES!!!

 My dad used to read Biggles as a child and then read them to me.
