Hikes with friends!

one day we met our friends Marilyn & Alan and went on a hike near Newport, RI

the wind made it very chilly!!!

we stopped at a cool Refill shop in Newport - love this idea of buying shampoo, laundry detergent, etc etc in bulk - reusing your own bottles.   Less plastic in the world is good ;)

then we ate a yummy lunch - mine was a chickpea sandwich - yum!

nice sunset on the way home

Next day, we met our friends Bill & Barbara in Douglas, MA

we drove to their forest (horse riders on the way ;))

Nice forest for walking!  Bill & Barbara had their dog, Lucky, and a friend's dog who they were dog sitting

and we had Bolts

who was very pokey.  Lucky is the same age and ran circles around him!

 Fun day!  Weather was warmer and we had a yummy dinner (with apple pie) later in the day.
