First, we drove out to the country and went apple picking (which was already posted).
Down the street from the apple farm we stopped at this great antique sale and I got the yellow eagle cakestand and the cool bubly green bottle, each for great deals.
We next had to take Hells-bells to Kimball Farm ice cream for gingersnap-mollassas ice cream, easily my favorite ice cream.
Then a girl from my work last minute couldn't go a concert she had tickets for so she gave them to us (4th row) for $10 each.
Jordin Sparks (I wanted a sign that said, "I voted for you weekly on American idol"). She is really cute.
Sarah Mclaughlin who was really charming. I've always wanted to see her live. I would love to go see her again, her set wasn't long enough.
and Bryan Adams, who rocked the house that night. I knew he had loads of good songs, but he could have kept playing all night and not have gotten to all of them.
Then I had a little performance of my own....(above). We drove to Rhode Island after the concert for "fire on the water" It's where hundreds of people gather around the rivers of Providence as they have fire pits floating all down the river. There is lots of atmosphere, food stands, charity stands, and...music. As we were walking back through the crowds there was an ampitheater with lots of people sitting and passing by. In the center of it was a player piano with loud dramatic piano music coming out of the big speakers, but no one playing the piano. So I told Meg to hold my camera and I went down and pretended to play. Within seconds crowds started to form around me with people saying things like, "wow, she is really good", etc. Meg, Haley, and Barbara all were dying, which egged me on more...and it turned into a full blown concert for a few minutes. haha

To perfect days!!!!!
