Sad Emotional News

 Well, Journeyers, sadly we received the news that we didn't want to hear.

For the past several weeks, I've been going through symptoms as if I was pregnant. Well, at the start of the week, I went to get blood work done since the normal home tests don't seem to work for me no matter how many times. But, of course, it's way too early to say anyways.

So, in the end, I got the tests back today. Now cause my phone was acting up, I didn't get the full message right and thought it stated that I was with a child. But, later on, I got the true message from my doctor which damper on my joy, and the test was negative. We both were very heartbroken, especially me.

We're not giving up and hopefully soon, we will have good news!

Crossing Fringers!

 Evening Journeyers!

Hoping everyone is having a good week so far? 

Well, today has been a strange one for me. Woke up with twinges in my belly as well as feeling very sensitive all over.

We went out to one of our favorite restaurants in the area. The Dewittville Village Restaurant. I used to go there with my family during my teenage years, every Friday for their fish day, and had their broiled fish in orange juice.

Today, I got a treat, I had one chocolate peanut butter pancake with fruit, and one piece of stuffed french toast covered in strawberries. My Beloved had ordered their steak (medium rare), perogies, eggs (fried over easy), and wheat toast.

Love the place and atmosphere always. So for my quick review, I give them a 5.

But, not soon after, the feeling of nausea and lightheadedness returned, worse than before.

 We went out really quick to see about new pants for Beloved. And while we were out, we stopped at a Burger King, and well, the smell of the fried food was really making me sick. 

As well, as one of my favorite body mists.

So, I was talking to a friend and they said it might be possible that even though, the last time we got intimate, which was a week ago (while on our Rhode Island trip) I could be with a child.

Now, we're not gonna jump to a conclusion yet, it's still very early to say. But, it will be a blessing, since we have been trying for the past 4 years. And, it will be a great birthday present for my mother (Oct 27) if we did find out that, we are expecting.

Keep your fingers cross and pray for us, please.

Food Review: Spike's Junkyard Dogs

 Evening Journeyers!

How's everyone's first day of October as well as the first day of the final quarter of the year, which means, new resolutions. But, I will get to that later.

Right now, I do want to review the place we went to for our lunch.

Spike's Junkyard Dogs. There are only two locations, and of course, since we were in the area, we visited the

Warwick, RI location. While there, we learned that they just had a YouTuber did a review video, so when I told them that I was a blogger doing a review while on vacation, they like, oh no the pressure while laughing.

I asked for recommendations since it's my first time there, and the kind staff told me that I should try one of their top dogs (no pun intended) the Casey Dog, which was the best beef hot dog I've ever had. Plus with their chili cheese fries. Beloved had the Patriot Dog and baked beans.

It was all good and the guys there were great. I love the atmosphere and thought that their vending truck was so cute, looking like a dog.

Plus we had their very own root beer and it was so good. A little sweet but was very good and refreshing.

Beloved, also had to get their t-shirts as great souvenirs.

So, for my review, I will give them a solid 5. Thank you Spike's.

Food Review: Al Mac's Diner

 Morning Journeyers!

We visited the historical steel diner, known as Al Mac's. 

According to Wikipedia, it was built back in 1953 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. Located in Fall River, Massachusetts.

You all can check out their menu here: http://www.almacsdinertogo.com/ 

While we were there, greeted warmly by the wonderful staff. The place had a wonderful vibe like I used to get at our local diner before it was burned down back in December 2019.

My Beloved husband as you all know I enjoy calling, ordered what was called, The Battleship, which is made of fried Egg, Bacon, Ham, Chourico, Sausage & Cheese served on a Bolo with Home Fries.

I ordered The South End, Fried Chicken & Waffles served with Sausage Gravy.

The chicken was juicy and well-crusted. The waffle is made right, crispy outside, fluffy inside. And the gravy caught me off guard. Traditional white gravy, but with real sliced-up links, not the ground sausage that I'm used to seeing. Plus, there was a bit of sweetness to it. Wonderful to pour over the chicken and waffles. So, the syrup was very optional for this.

I'll give them a solid 5 stars.

Thank you!

Riverview Inn & Suites Review

Morning Journeyers!!!

Well, as you all know from my earlier blogs, we arrived in Rhode Island yesterday afternoon/evening. I was way too tired to continue being online after that 10 and a half-hour-long drive. 

So, we're staying at the Riverview Inn & Suites in Somerset, MA. 

We were here back in 2017. At that time they were under renovation, so a lot of areas were off-limits. Plus, they had a wonderful continental breakfast.

This time though, since the COVID, they have changed things.

I still enjoyed our room. Comfy bed, very clean room. Useful frig and microwave. The bath/shower was well used as soon as we got in. The hour-soaking I took after check-in was worth the drive.

 

Sadly, cause of covid, we had learned this morning that the breakfast area was closed down and that they never re-opened the area. So, gonna have to go searching for breakfast soon.

The pool area though is open but looks like that they had to modify the depth so that there is no deep end. Uncertain on why they did that.

Even though it's small, they did have a cute little fitness area with two treadmills, a bike, and something that looks like a Bowflex weight station.

They do have a very useful amenity, a laundry room. But, sadly, I do wish that they would have more than just one washer and dryer. It took forever to just wait to be able to use the dryer.

So, for my review here (I added this part once we got home, even though I did start it earlier), a good 4. I would have given it more if they would have more than just coffee and fruit in place of their continental breakfast. Or at least make it better known on their page.

Other than that, it was a good stay. Thank you Riverview Inn!
