Fearing Family History




We had our own personal Revolutionary history tour of the Fearing family house in Weryham Mass. They were loyalists but we won't hold it against them as they had a bar in their house!

They were also soft to cats, I knew Mike had it in him, as they created a cat hole so the cat had easy access to everywhere in the house. Kirby will be so happy to hear about Mike's families history and love of cats.


We detoured from the plan so that we could all visit one state that we all haven’t been to- Rhode Island.

We are pretending we are the Vanderbilts, hobnobbing with the wealthy and picking which mansion is ours. We are in Newport, enjoying the sailboats and Tropical Storm Hanna (makes for fewer crowds and a good story).

Fortunately we spent our day at the beach yesterday and have determined that the Atlantic is warmer than the Pacific. Gabriel and Sabrina learned how to swim with the ocean waves and have picked Hawaii as their next destination point (they’ve apparently forgotten our deal- trips have to be in the contiguous U.S.).



The Soccer Hall of Fame is out and the Atlantic Ocean is Sabrina’s birthday party of choice, any takers only 5 more days.

We will visit more of Rhode Island Revolutionary War neighborhoods and wharfs.

That is a great picture of Sabrina in the waves! Were the waves really as big as they seemed?

The Fearing Tavern, a possible new line of work for everyone. Sounds like everyone is having a great time.

Can't wait to see more pictures and hear more stories.

Once again, you leave us working stiffs wondering where we went wrong! Sabrina and Gabriel playing in the waves; Cecelia at a bar in the middle of the day; Mike's on his personal family tour...where can I sign up for this Hawaii trip?
