Quick Updates
I don't know if I posted about this before (maybe Maggie did) but we snagged a couple of double kayaks from Dick's Sporting Goods when they had their recent kayak sale. Maggie'd wanted a double for a while, and these were on clearance for a crazy low price compared to what we were seeing for even used doubles.
Anyway, we tested them for the first time today. It was a brief, but fun expedition. We paddled up and down the river about 1/3 of a mile in each direction. Not very far, but we got a late start in the morning because the girls (and I) had a sleepover last night. It was enough to tell that we like the kayaks. And that I'm really going to need a seat (backrest) for mine for longer trips. My stomach muscles aren't up to the task.
Yesterday we had dinner at Ugly American in Fall River. We'll be back. I think we had nearly everything on the menu (it was an expedition with Cousin Bob) and the burgers are great - hand formed from tasty ground Angus beef. The choices of burger toppings are varied and wonderful. I love it when I can get a burger with hot wing sauce. Also, nothing beats French fries which actually taste like potatoes because they're fresh.
Deep fried Twinkie with raspberry sauce? Bring it on.
Today, I hear that Cupper's Cafe in Somerset is opening it's doors. I'm going to pop out and investigate.

How can you not love a place that has "cheese of the week" on their menu?
