Back in Rhode Island

I spent a wonderful week in Los Angeles visiting daughter, Elena & sister and brother-in-law, Gail & Hank. We relaxed, went to the beach, shopped for bargains, fixed things, ate out at fun restaurants, went to the Getty Museum, and went to The Self-Realization Temple for a special event, "India Night"; dinner, a dance demonstration, and an Indian fashion show. After a nearly sleepless night on the "Red Eye" flight back to Rhode Island, it was nice to be back on "Kismet". We said good-bye to Nancy & Dick in Wickford and we sailed the short trip north on Narragansett Bay to East Greenwich Cove in RI. We are so fortunate to have met such wonderful people along the way this past year. Marianne & Ray live near East Greenwich and own/manage moorings all over RI. They offered us a mooring for a next few weeks while we take a land trip back to Norwich, NY for a visit. Today we helped Ray & Marianne with house renovations; painting, wiring, etc. to a very cute house that they recently bought to rent/sell.
