Summer 2016 in Pictures

After two difficult years, this summer has made up for time I thought I already lost.  It was the first summer that I wasn’t either living or spending an extended period of time in Rhode Island—I thought I was going to be stuck in suburbia, perhaps make the occasional trip to New York City. I […]

My family and I went to a family friend’s BBQ in Barrington this afternoon. It was the perfect weather to be out and enjoy the early days of fall.  I honestly try to avoid eating red meat as possible, but the catering company who worked the BBQ did a great job on the brisket–it was […]
