Happy Halloween!

We hope you have a wonderful holiday and don't eat too much candy!!

We love to go for walks!

We do other things - but pictures of vacuuming; running errands; and doing laundry just aren't as pretty ;)

 

Old stomping grounds

 Bike path - Barrington

 Squirrels - Bolts LOVES them!

 Can you find the fuzzy butt???  It's in there trying to get a squirrel :)

 Love that he loves to run. 

Work!

Ok, so it's volunteer work - but still!  Being Treasure of the local sailing foundation does take some time.  And preparing the quarterly wage report for the state takes more than I like :)  But fortunately, it's only 4 times a year!

 

Moving Aeolus

We had a beautiful morning to move our sailboat, Aeolus, to its winter haven

 

 It was a little chilly on the water, but still a beautiful morning.  Our trip was over too fast, but we didn't have the time to sail a full day.

 On the dock - where we used to keep it full time.  They will haul it  in the next week or so.  Then we just need to put the winter cover on and wait until spring!

Warren Walkabout

Warren, RI's businesses opened their doors on Sunday to towns people and visitors.

 

 

They provided transportation (trolley) :)

 Warren has a lot of art studios, and these were open to the public (normally they are not).  It was very cool to meet the different artists and see the mediums they use.  There were painters, sculptors, stained glass artists, photographers...

 A lot of these studios are along the water front, so they have beautiful views

 Restaurants were open, and some were serving simple food like hot dogs and cider outside

 Antique stores

 Boat builders

 More art studios

 Fresh pasta store (we bought some ravioli :))

 We stopped in a smoothie bar to grab a drink and we looked at the local map - for such a small town there is a lot to see!

 Live music on some of the streets too.  It was a Fall party! (and it felt like fall too, brrr)

 We don't often take the time to check out these businesses, so we were happy to have a chance to visit!  We usually just visit the coffee shops and restaurants, but there are some really quaint stores in town.  Glad we made the trip!  (ok, it's only 1 1/2 miles from our house :))

World Series!!

At Fenway - for World Series Game #1!!  So exciting!  We got to the stadium early, which was fortunate, as monster T storms passed over the stadium at prime arrival time (7:00).  The game started late - 8:10

 

 Fox pregame coverage.  Everyone was cheering for Papi - it was nuts!

 National Anthem sung by James Taylor!

 Packed house and Electric crowd!

Our friends, Jen & Craig joined us too!

 Here we go!  1st pitch by Carl Yastrzemski!

 

 

It was a little chilly, but not freezing fortunately!  Mid 40's and no real wind.

What an emotional game!  Red Sox would score, and Dodgers would answer!  Finally in the 7th inning, the 3 run homer allowed us to really relax :)
It was a long game - but we WON!

 

Yippee!!

 

 

Game 2 - in front of the fireplace!  Lets go Red Sox, Beat LA!
