"..in the End, all that really matters isn't the things you did, but what its effects are today, not the knowledge you have learned, but how you applied it, not the words that were said, but how they made you feel, and most of all, not the moment of occurrence, but how its now just a part of our memory.. Everyday, we make memories.. Let's paint lives with happy ones.."

A week of Awesome Music Entertainment!

 We are avid David Gray Fans!
 For those of you who are not familiar with his music, he's who you are listening to on this page.
We have seen him 7 times & have enjoyed every concert!
He is in the catagory of Folk Rock & never disapppoints his fans.
'Babylon' was one of his big hits you may recall.
We enjoyed him this past Friday in Providence RI and again in Wallingford CT. on Tuesday night.
My camera was not cooperating. so I have labeled these pics as ' my funky shots of David'  Very grainy shots...darnit.





.....he is always entertaining !

Our weekend was also made exciting (yet terrifying) when we had a major blow out in the fast lane
 on Interstate 95N in Providence! Scared the jelly beans right out of us!
There was not much left to our tire.
Thank goodness for the kind soul that stopped to offer us his assistance. We will surely 'pay it forward'.
I have changed  tires in my day, yet I was  to freaked out to help. It took the two of them to get the darn thing off my car. 
  Put a real damper on our 'karma' for the evening...

  We eventually made it to the hotel. Very nice digs I might add! And to top it off , they allowed us to check in with our Golden Retriever, Iris, at no charge. That was a first!
Should of seen the looks from the other guests in the lobby that were not too sure why there was a dog perched up on the check-in counter! Lol. They upgraded us to a corner room with more space and we basically had the whole floor to ourselves. Guess they thought she may be a barker or something?
She is not. And she was good as gold...thank goodness.
 

"This was my first visit to Providence. Its a very nice area and I am looking forward to our next visit!"

The historical Biltmore Hotel had a yummy  menu and we plan on eating there next time. 
On this visit, we ate in our room, because we wanted to calm Iris down and get her comfy in the room.

Watching the people and cars from the 14th floor.
