I couldn't leave New England!


Well a couple of weeks turned into three, then almost five! Here's a recap that I put together very loosely based on Billy Joel's tune, "We Didn't Start the Fire". It really is one of my least favorite songs of his, but it's catchy and somehow caught the vibe of all the stuff we did in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.  La la la - sing your hearts out!

"David, shopping, Eva and pancakes, Maine, who wants lobster, Ogunquit's Marginal Way

Boston, duck tour, Edward Gorey house tour, Cape Cod, Wood's Hole, Jamie at the ferry!

Beach walk, P-town, cocktail in the afternoon, sidewalk art sale, but they closed the National Seashore!

We couldn't leave New England - with the home fires burning and the leaves were turning
We couldn't leave New England - and they still burn on!

Karen, Mikey, Jen & Ronnie & Amber, Shyanne & Michelle - love my wild family!

Apple cider, Scituate art fest, pumpkins and fall leaves, riding with the top down

Kingstown, Amy, Hanker-Georgie-Kitteh, foliage in full swing,  flea and tick invasion!

We couldn't leave New England - with the home fires burning and the leaves were turning
We couldn't leave New England - and they still burn on!

Newport, seafood, breathing in the salt air, watching all the sailboats, yes I've missed the ocean

Mansions, ocean drive, man I really feel alive, Red Fez, blue bug,  it's good to be home

East side, wickenden, Hope Street, I'm back again, Roger Williams, I'm really doing OK!

We couldn't leave New England - with the home fires burning and the leaves were turning
We couldn't leave New England - and they still burn on

Drove back to my first house, owner let me inside, definitely different, but still much the same

Steelyard Iron Pour, fire and molten ore, Halloween in the air, cello - what an eerie pair

Michelle has free time, happy she's all mine (lol), that's really greedy, I hope she will forgive me

We couldn't leave New England - with the home fires burning and the leaves were turning
We couldn't leave New England - and they still burn on

Bristol, Colt State, Val and a dinner date, Benny's, bridges, goofing round in Target

BBQ, cocktails, jack-o-lanterns, pool room, melty fried candy bars, Hank's Down South

Baked so many apple pies, over a month has gone by, wiping tears from our eyes, but we gotta say goodbye

We couldn't leave New England - with the home fire burning and the leaves were turning
We couldn't leave New England - but the fires burn on and on and on and on..."

I hope I got everything! Love you all
