HUNGRY GERALD

At last, bright sunshine ended a long spell of grey (or rainy) Rhode Island weather. HG/BSK were off to Riverside,RI, home of gifted daughter, Lesley R., and her husband, Professor/author Massimo R. Their home has a spacious sun drenched deck facing Narragansett Bay. BSK assisted Lesley in flower planting. HG basked in a comfortable chair on the deck (Welcome after a long shut-in life in HG/BSK’s Central Falls, RI, loft) read New York Review of Books and sipped Spritzes prepared by thoughtful Massimo. Wonderful way to spend a Spring afternoon. (Peckish HG ate a small bowl of cashews with the Spritzes). Massimo served tasty Lambrusco wine with dinner —Lesley’s lush pasta with vegetable sauce made creamy with feta and ricotta. Yums. After playing with Toby, The Wonder Dog and Pip, the gracious female dog, it was off to home for dessert, TV watching and peaceful sleep.
