Kathleen, I love the pics of the beach.  It was so nice to visit with you on the phone today.  I sent the email immediately after hanging up with the info that we talked about.  I am envious of someone that close to the ocean and the beach.  Thanks so much for visiting my posts and especially the one on my son who is reaching for the nfr in bareback this year...   Take Care!

JUDI: It was such an unexpected call when you called me this afternoon, I actually thought you were Mary who had just left my office and was going to call me as soon as she reached her home. I am so appreciative  your kindness and caring to make that call. Like you said, it is nice to put a voice with the face of the AR blogger. Thank you for the email info which I will pass on to my daughter-in-law. You are so sweet and thoughtful. Being a native born Rhode Islander and loving the water I find it so difficult to make a decision to move away from this paradise. except during the winters when we have the many blizzards and frigid below freezing temps.

STEVE: So glad you found me on twitter I am Grandma Kathleen, I love being a grandmother of two small grandsons 3 and almost 5, unfortunately they live 19 hours away, driving time in SC. Rhode Island is called the ocean state and surrounded by water with gorgeous beaches.

Do they normally charge to go to the beach? Maybe that's what California needs to do to solve its $50 billion budget deficit. I can only imagine the uproar from Californians who believe that their right to a free beach is the the United States Constitution: "Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." LOL

UPDATE: It turned out not to be a sunny hot beach day. The temp was in the low 70's, cloudy, rainy, damp drizzly misty day, however we did decide to go to Roger Wheeler Beach aka, Sand Hill Cove and took some pictures of the sand sculptures and I even ride the swing in the playground. Made the best of the day, no swimming, too cold. While in Narragansett we went to the famous "Iggys" for clam cakes, chowder, fish, ,calamari, and the famous doughboys. Delicious

JOHN: Thanks for stopping by to visit. We made the best of the day even though it was too cool for swimming and no sun we found a great place to eat.  I will definitely let you know when I go to Florida for the sunshine. I know your August is too hot.
