They scallop all over down there, they go into Providence to sell, and he has

been into Newport, also Nantucket, Point Judith, which he says is beautiful and

would like me to see. Take Care

Where do they fish? There are so many fishermen in Newport and my husband and

father does a kids fishing day with his gun club every year. My oldest has

actually gone spear fishing with some of his friends. I remember when my

daughter was little that she went fishing and caught a lobster. I still can't

believe it.

The rain here is crazy. It's been going on since yesterday off and on . When it

rains it is heavy downpours. When it ends I'll be in big trouble because there

is an underground river that flows below my house. As all that water drains it

will rise and hopefully not to much as the waterpump will be working ot in my

basement.

the most important impression you make on a PT, and someone calling for an appt.

is always calling for a reason so remember this, they are anxious, not feeling

well, etc. so always treat them kindly,

Still in car lag from the RT to Ma.from Me tues to see Dr. I really like my

Doc. so caring, takes her time listening, does anything she can to try and stop

me from hurting, and find something to lift the slump, not depressed, just ass

dragging. I would like to plan on finding out what this area is like, bro in

law is headed down to P.town next wk for his scallop season. Does live

near you? This could be fun huh? Something to think about than this snow storm

coming tonight light, then this wkend. I want spring am I wrong didn't we

Spring Ahead last wkend?, someone forgot to inform mother nature! haha. Hope

all is good as can be with you and your way. Take Care. And hope lighter days.

weather breaks and life warms up, maybe I'll take a ride to Portsmouth and

we can meet for lunch.

I used to get up on a Sunday morning pack a few things (water, snacks, etc)

drive to Wolfeboro, have brunch with my friends, hang out for awhile, then

drive home. I'm not sure I can do that anymore, but I sure would like to

try.
