Day 1837 - Off to the Land of the Clam!
Greetings, Bloggy Frequent Flyers!It's Friday, Hooray!
You know what to do - march in a circle chanting 'Fri-day! Fri-day! Fri-day!'
I'll be aboard the Quahog Express today (well, translate that to Southwest Airlines) to beautiful Rhode Island - pronounced 'Ra-d-eye-land'.
I am off to Little Rhody for Miss Savi's THIRD BIRTHDAY this weekend. That will be SOOOO fun.
It's been just about 3 months since I was there, and I know Savi's gotten cuter the whole time I've been away.
I was trying to describe the Rhode Island accent to someone at work yesterday, but it was easier just to imitate it.
Anyway - have a great Friday and a great weekend, I know I will!

Hi Karen,
See you soon, sista...
In Rhud-Ilan, people remove the "r" from a word, harmony = hominy, see? That is pretty much across the board. Park is "pok," not "pahk," like in MA (that is "ah" like the word crack). Fenway Pok. 50 miles north, Fenway Pahk. When I say Fenway Park, people ask where I am from. Hmmm. Then some folks put an R where it doesn't belong, like saying "Libyer" for Libya.
Sometimes a word such as sandwich could be sammich (or even sangwich depending on when the family left NY.)
To really describe the way people in RI speak, I guess you just have to have someone hear it. I don't think anyone could ever write all the rules.
When we moved here, I was in 3rd grade. The teacher said line up, we were all going to use "the bubbla." I felt scared. What heck heck was a bubbla?
It was a water fountain. What was known in these parts as "a bubbler."

Lyn, the worst is putting an "r" at the end of a word (I might have done this when I lived in Maine). It always cracked me up to listen to Evan who I assume has the typical RI accent or is that a Providence specialty? I never really thought about the distinction between RI and MA. Interesting!

Hi gang!
I am here, safe and sound. Flights were good, though totally full.
Yes, Nancy - my darling son has a Rha-dailand accent for sure.
We're having fun!
