Like you, I loved the area where we lived. We met an older man who was originally from Oregon but had married his wife who was from RI so they stayed in RI and lived between N.K. and Greenwich. Monte used to take us out in his 52 foot boat to fish for blue fish. We'd end up on Block Island for lunch. Great times. Speaking of RI, is the Nyanza store still in Warwick? Used to love going there! At the time we lived there I was into sewing but was young and busy so I didn't FULLY appreciate the fabric/textile mecca we were living so near. I wonder if they still have these mills everywhere like they used to?
