I'm Here!!!

These guys made us meatball parm & chicken parm grinders for supper ... yummy!

Bit of down-home fun ...

Here's Nibbles Woodaway, scarfing down his Awful Awful (the Newport Creamery's awesome ice cream shake ... the two, New England Pest Control and Newport Creamery, are running a joint promotion). I'm going to try to get a better picture on my trip out next week, so you can see the bitchin' sunglasses better.

Just proof we left T F Green in one piece.

And yes, I brought the sunshine to RI with me!!

You're welcome ... you are very welcome.

And a HUGE shout-out to Brig for house-sitting/pet-sitting for me while I'm back here in 'lil ole rhody ... Thank you, Brig!!!!!! YOU ROCK!!
