I spent the weekend at my sister Deborah's in Barrington, Rhode Island. She hosted a wonderful Valentine's brunch for our family. My mom, who has Alzheimer's, also lives in Barrington in an assisted living program. Mom's memory is very compromised - she truly lives in the moment - but she still knows us. Don't ask her to tell you our names, but she knows us. Whenever I am with my mom now, I always give her a shoulder and head massage. This is as much for me as it is for her, and she loves it.It's amazing the difference 150 miles can make. RI has bare ground and spring birds...ah....a welcome reprieve from The Maine Winter. And I even saw this pair of swans on Valentine's Day, swimming along in Barrington Bay. They mate for life, so what a perfect sighting for the Day of Love!
And I heard this bird song yesterday morning - a sound so beautiful and fresh - can you tell me what kind of bird this is??

Mom looks good! Wish I could have been there!! Sounds like a fake bird to me--a cell phone bird.
oh, maybe that explains the guy hiding in the bushes...
we missed you :^(
xxoo
Ah, I love Barrington. One of my favorite book stores in in Barrington on Rt 114, in a plaza where I believe there is still a Starbucks...it's near the lovely town hall/library, but on the opposite side.
I used to go to RWU in Bristol, and loved driving through Barrington on my way to or from my parent's home in Smithfield.
word verifation:
"blact"
my grandfather grew up in barrington - and his father was a blacksmith- "blact" smith! :^)
the house is still on maple ave. my grandparents and great grandparents are buried in the cemetary across from that plaza...
