I saw this the other day and had a flashback to my childhood in New Jersey.
.
.
The hand came to life and snatched the letters one by one into the bloody swamp.
Epic. And I was there for it every week.
.
.
For those of you, who like me… comb the beaches.
.
.
My husband has recently decided the wood has to leave the woodshed, the interior wall on the right separating the shed from a storage room needs to be removed and a floor needs to be laid.
I do not expect this project to go quickly or smoothly. Stay tuned.
.
.
Red door.
Since I plan on living more than 3 years. Duh.
.
.
If a cheese fortune teller is paid in cheese? I have the perfect scarf and earrings for the job, sign me up.
Because the news you can use is too depressing these days.
.
.
He’s the devil.
I think that’s a given.
.
.
Uh oh.
We just ordered a new one.
.
.
Honestly, I try not to think about Elon Musk at all.
.
.
Apparently he’s been paying some of the mothers of his children 15 million up front and $100,000 a month not to speak of them. One woman refused and gave up what amounts to $36,600,000 over 18 years to tell the truth.
.
.
It’s evil, but we love it.
.
.
Whaaaat?
.
.
And now you know.

This made me snort, but the fact that Amazon refunded her the $4,000 and let her keep the lollies tells me Junior may be doing it again.
I’m currently kicked back on the couch with a good book and a cup of tea. I’m lazy and have no plans to move for the next hour…. so I’m going with sloth.
Day 8 dawned bright, and as I looked out the window of our condo… windy. No surprise there.
.
.
We said goodbye to Narragansett Bay.
.
.
And a decent enough resort.
.
.
Heading out of Newport, we saw a T Rex selling Girl Scout cookies and had to stop.
.
.
These young ladies were doing a brisk business and we purchased 4 boxes in a drive through line. Very efficient.
.
.
Did I mention there are windmills in Newport?
.
.
Like, everywhere?
With the constant wind I can’t blame them. but it was odd seeing them randomly dominate the skyline.
.
.
In Providence this fellow didn’t seem pleased with the time.
.
.
In Massachusetts?
A very well marked curve.
.
.
Clearly the clientele of this McDonalds outside of Boston are somewhat… questionable.
.
.
Twin bridges somewhere along the way.
And in a mere 4 hours we were home, having greatly enjoyed our time away.
My husband’s birthday fell during our trip and while my surprise Antique Roadshow thing didn’t work out.. ( the rat bastards )…he still had a nice day.
.
.
I thought this guy looked a little like His Lordship.
.
.
Gift #2? A pair of night vision binoculars for critter spotting in the dark.
.
.
Gift #3? A package of stickers that made him groan.
.
.
Gift #4? A lighted coin microscope for closer examination of his collection … which he broke on day one.
After a nice lunch and waterfront stroll it was back to the trenches..
.
.
To an even bigger though slightly nicer antique mall.
.
.
I swear my husband’s eyes lit up the moment we stepped inside.
.
.
It’s times like these I’m glad he’s a cheapskate when it comes to purchases. The man wants a bargain and there weren’t many to be had here.
.
.
That frog was about five grand.
.
.
I thought about this for the man cave.
.
.
And wouldn’t have minded having this, but it was badly cracked.
.
.
More wooden yardsticks.
For the love of God… why?
🥴
.
.
Interesting, but a hard pass.
.
.
Giant clam anyone?
.
.
Just looking at these shoes hurt my feet.
.
.
You know that was risqué for its day.
.
.
Yes, he bought the yardsticks.
Sigh.
.
.
I was really tempted to buy this vintage cocktail shaker and glasses for the man cave. It was even aviation themed which was my husband’s career field.
Coulda, shoulda.
.
.
This place went on forever and long story short we were there until it closed.
I purchased this.
.
.
A $500 Confederate bond from the Civil War. When we lived down south I used to pick up Confederate currency now and then but I didn’t have one of these. It still has four coupons attached, though I think my chances of cashing them in are slim.
😉
.
.
On the way out of New Bedford, Massachusetts?
.
.
Underpass fish.
.
Where there's only one step from the sublime to the ridiculous.
River's world.....
