toast for dinner made from Irish bread from the Irish-est corner shop in the Irish-est corner of Boston

a surprise new Alex and Ani bracelet (buddha)

rainbow loom playdates times a million

a sweet chatty conversation on Etsy that resulted in the sweetest hand-crafted buddha beads

documentaries about TWA 800 (it was hit by three separate missiles with a couple of seconds... huh?) and the Central Park Five (who were innocent???!)

listening to endless Richard Cheese covers (Sunday Bloody Sunday with a latin twist: funny:)

meandering along the entire coast of Rhode Island (my favorite {small} state:)

stopping at every single shining beach and nature reserve (happy parents/woefully unimpressed children)

Portuguese chowda and lobsta rolls for dinner in Newport RI on the most beautiful golden Fall evening (ohhhh myyyyy goshhhhhhh, heaven)

a quick stop at that adorable little church where JFK and Jackie got married

my phone clucking like a chicken (dumbest ring tone ever) as i snuck in to take a picture (God has a good sense of humor, apparently... and you bet i still got my picture ;)

the smell of holy water

delivering thoughtful gifts

receiving thoughtful gifts
