You have captured the essence of that gorgeous state so well. And although I love Maine seafood, you still cannot beat a Rhode Island quahog anyplace. Happy birthday to all of us. and thanks for stopping by my blog earlier today.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15164739473838041694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453890267354195934.post-69038199771550818972010-01-28T17:36:11.322-05:002010-01-28T17:36:11.322-05:00What a nice post, a tribute to you home state.

Always something nearby to keep us busy, or just to relax.<br /><br />I remember seeing my very first real live elephant, Fanny, at Slater Park, years ago, with my Uncle Bob...nice memories.<br /><br />Nice getting to know another New England blogger!Mattenylouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07361420643513140263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453890267354195934.post-29825570496374138892010-01-28T14:05:07.047-05:002010-01-28T14:05:07.047-05:00Nice post!

I remember fondly a vacation we took just a few years ago at Misquamicut Beach at a very nice family friendly resort with some college friends and their kids. Not too far away was a great little diner (I think it might have been across the Conn. border in Mystic -- Kitchen Little -- where I had the best fresh crab meat and cream cheese omelet of my life!) We visited a charming little merry-go-round in Watch Hill. Loved that area!nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03445777687088584603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453890267354195934.post-48738635258870358962010-01-28T00:56:37.570-05:002010-01-28T00:56:37.570-05:00The barren starkness of the desert can certainly p...The barren starkness of the desert can certainly put the green on New England. I remember moving to Connecticut from Utah. I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. The West does have its qualities, but oh, I loved your beaches.

We both fell in love with the town AND I learned that my mother had lived there as a little girl! I was even able to find their house.<br /><br />If the commute into Boston wasn't so wretched by car or so expensive by commuter rail, Providence would have been a great place to live.edj3https://www.blogger.com/profile/11137939126171451654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453890267354195934.post-37454866139812243652010-01-27T08:05:39.083-05:002010-01-27T08:05:39.083-05:00Very nice love letter..

As another native Rhode Islander who has never lived anywhere else, I think you did a wonderful job of enumerating all the best of our home...the State of Providence and Rhode Island Plantations!
