Rhode Island

I've been meaning to post some pictures from the last part of my New England vacation. I left Cape Cod on a Saturday morning and drove about 100 miles to visit my aunt in Rhode Island. We hadn't seen each other in decades. I lived with my aunt, uncle and cousins in their house in NY for months after leaving college. I have so many memories of the time spent there. It was a formative time in my life...trying to decide what I wanted to do with my future. My aunt and uncle were so supportive of me and gave me the time I needed to make some decisions. We've always had a special bond.

Here's my Aunt Carolee with her husband Gil in front of their beautiful home in Rhode Island.

They board two horses. I'm afraid of horses but tried not to show it.

This would be my spot if I lived there.

My aunt had me pick out something of hers to bring home. It was a very hard decision. I finally settled on this hand-blown vase she bought in Venice. She watched the glass-blower making vases and loved this one. I love it too.

I mentioned that I liked this piggy vase and she sent him home with me.

I'll always think of her when I see these pieces. Thank you Aunt Carolee!
