One of these days you simply MUST see Waterfires in RI..... or maybe in ASIA!!!
We hit our 49th wedding anniversary this week and decided to go off to Newport to check out the activity and have dinner in a wonderful old Inn. In fact, it's the oldest inn in the U. S. It is the White Horse Tavern. Check it out on my Newport page.
Newport has lots to offer so I add to my pages each time I go and try to give you as many options as I can photograph.
The architecture is glorious from the little 1600's cottages to the grandness of the The Breakers...mansions of amazement.
Along Rte 4 between Concord and Portsmouth... there is a stretch of road with more than 500 antique dealers stretched out along the roadways of Northwood, Lee, Epsom and Chichester.
You can find some really good eateries along the way to stop, rest, and refuel.... and enjoy an afternoon of seeking treasures.
We stayed in Manchester, which is a sweet town, but hopping up to the Rte. 4 "strip" is an easy jaunt. A good day trip from several towns in the area... Concord, Keene, Salem, Nashua, Dover...
On this trip I stayed in an old farmhouse which is now a B&B. It was perfect because I wanted to be quiet and do some writing. Of course there was time to wander, stare out to sea, and eat in a couple of favorite restaurants. OK... and I confess.... I squeezed in a little bit of shopping as well. :-)
Everyone should escape for a couple of days all by themselves around the time of their birthday. I highly recommend it....and so prefer it over a sticky sweet cake and people singing happy birthday off key. Well, they mean well, but then it's time for me to GET OUT OF TOWN>
I did sneak away for a few days to sweet Rockport, Massachusetts on the north shore above Boston. I stayed in a community known as Pigeon Cove just outside town. There I found a sweet, sweet cottage I could spend 6 months in - if given the opportunity.
I'm adding many new items and photos to my Rockport page... so I hope you'll come to visit.

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
The cottage is a sweet little spot located at the rear of our property. Warm sunshine pours through the french glass doors at the back of the kitchen and floods the sunshine yellow rooms with light. It's very popular with business people who are in RI for a few months, people who are transferring to RI and need interim housing, as well as people who are from other states or countries and want to visit RI friends and family for a month or two in the summer or over holidays. Everyone seems to want to visit Newport while they are here.
Totally renovated a couple of years ago, we outfitted it completely with IKEA closets, lighting, and furniture.We do short term rental by the month.
In case you plan to travel this way, take a look at our little Cottage and if we have an opening, VT folks are always welcome.
More pics available on my Pawtuxet page...including a studio apartment (short term)

Hello...enjoyed your Aussie dog story...We have dogs too...they are an important part of our life.
I’ve just posted the VT MEET IN PARIS 21st and 22nd June 2012
21st June (the longest day of the year) for the Fete de la Musique.
This FREE event is not to be missed and you should expect music, dance, local food and many drinks along the way all night long.
Join me also on Friday 22nd June, to continue in the same rhythm – picnic and dancing along the river.
Time and place for both meets TBA.
Hope you can come
