We took a drive over to Jaswell's Farm in Smithfield, RI on Sunday. I wanted to throw some vegetables on the grill for dinner and it was late in the day on a Sunday so we checked Local Harvest to find out what farms in the area would be open. Turns out Jaswell's is open daily from 8-5.

When we got there, we saw a sign that told us that we could pick our own strawberries and raspberries. Melissa loves strawberries and was very happy to see that they offered an option to pick our own off the vine.

We were greeted by Allison, who gave us our container and showed us where to go. She explained that today would probably be the last day, as it was the end of the season, so we didn't expect much. When we got out there, we were happy to see that there were more than enough strawberries to fill our pint.

When we headed back to the stand (which is so much more than a stand... there are all sorts of fruits, vegetables, baked goods, cheeses...), we picked up our squash, corn and peaches for the grill. We also made sure we grabbed a pint of blueberries (which we snacked on driving home!) and a delicious apple pie for later. Their fruit butters are amazing, too and we were sure to get a jar of apple.

Allison and her nephew Paul rang us up and we talked about the documentary "Vanishing Orchards" that our friend Rachel the video editor worked on a few years ago that features the farm.

It's nice to see a family working together and it feels good to buy produce directly from the source. Food tastes so much better when it doesn't have to travel so far.

Jaswell's is celebrating their 110th anniversary. I recommend a visit - take the kids and pick your own fruit! Blueberry season is right around the corner...

Former Vice President of Major Lender with 15 years experience in foreclosure resolution is working with homeowners behind in their mortgage payments.

E-Mortgage recovery is the leading resource within the Lehigh Valley for individuals behind in their mortgage payments. The company was founded by David Swirczewski. Mr. Swirczewski is a former Vice President of a major lender and also oversaw the loss mitigation department for a major bank within his 20 plus years of experience in the banking industry. Mr. Swirczewski also owns a mortgage bank and has a background in foreclosure law.

Mr. Swirczewski expanded his commitment of providing foreclosure resolution to homeowners after reviewing the poor advice most homeowners are receiving from other professionals. We find that most lenders are difficult to work with and offer workout plans that are too aggressive for the homeowner.

We can't tell you how ofter homeowners are receiving in adequate advice in regards to foreclosure from other professions. Thy often resort to bankruptcy plans that are expensive and quite frankly not very effective. Many of these bankruptcy plans get thrown out by the judges or fail within 6-12 months due to errors made by the attorneys. A large number of these homeowners fall back into foreclosure due to these aggressive plans from their lender or inadequate advice from their attorney.

We also see many self-proclaimed foreclosure resolution companies not providing favorable results. From our research and feedback from clients, most of these companies are doing very little to help homeowners remain in their property. Most of these companies lack significant banking experience and are unfamiliar with the foreclosure laws. These companies mainly see an opportunity to profit from a stressful situation. Meanwhile, Mr. Swirczewski has been practicing foreclosure resolution for over 15 years.

Mr. Swirczewski is arguably the most qualified foreclosure resolution specialist in the country. He understands how to properly negotiate with the right contacts to find a reasonable resolution that is acceptable with your lender and most importantly, comfortable for you as the homeowner. The priority is to save your home.

If you are not interested in saving your home and prefer to walk away, we can secure a reduced payoff that will be beneficial for all parties for a timely sale through our list of property buyers.

You do not have to go through foreclosure without qualified support. You may contact your local account representative, Derik Tutt at 404-200-5532 to receive a free consultation to analyze your specific situation.

It was time for a date night. Melissa and I went out for dinner recently at Waterplace Restaurant in Providence. We decided to make the most of the evening and planned to be there for a while... drinks, apps, dinner, dessert, after dinner drinks, the works. Turns out we picked the perfect place to do so.

We had been once last winter, when Prudential Gammons Realty, had our holiday party. So we remembered how striking the interior was. 2 open levels, beautiful lighting and fabric hanging from very high ceilings creating a warm atmosphere in a large space. There is a bar on each floor; the second floor being more of a lounge area. They also have a wonderful patio area, which is very popular in the summer, particularly during Waterfire events.

We started out sharing the Gruyere Roasted Garlic and Truffle Fondue. It came with lots of different items for dipping, like broccoli, carrots, bread, apple slices, strawberries, grapes... delicious.

For dinner, Melissa went with the "Pillows from Above", which were pumpkin ravioli with toasted walnuts and a brown butter sauce. She was very pleased with her choice. I had the "Mediterranean Chicken Naploeon" which was out of this world.

If we get dessert, we usually share something but this time we got our own: Melissa got the peanut butter and jelly spring rolls with marshmallow dipping sauce (that's right!) and I had a carrot cake concoction which alone is enough to bring me back to this restaurant.

Waterplace Restaurant has definitely become a go-to for us now. So go check it out... but make sure you get your reservations in if it's a summer weekend evening!

Hopkinton's growth, development, little Hopkinton, RI is growing in leaps and bounds, can it be stopped or is it a postive step for the community in need of tax relief from local business?

Over the past year an Ad Hoc Committee has been looking at the Town's Zoning Ordinance and the Exit 1 and Exit 2 of Route 95. A Statewide Planning Challenge Grant was received in August of 2006 specifically to look at development at Exit 1 of Route 95. Pare Corporation from Lincoln, Rhode Island was hired to provide consulting services to the Town.

The Ad Hoc Committee and the Consultant decided to look at Exit 1 as a Development District with new zones, and new Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Regulations to address the proposed changes for the Exit. The Quick Links below show the District Map, Guidelines, Ordinances and Regulations proposed for the area.

Public Workshops to address these proposals will occur in the fall. The public is encouraged to attend, and comments can be emailed to the Town at Planner@hopkintonri.org

The Town has an atmosphere of an old New England village,and a unique history in the annals of U.S. History. The indian name for Westerly was Misquamicut - a place for taking salmon.
Westerly was the first town incorporated in the King's Province on May 13, 1669, and the fifth town in the colony. On the 23rd of June 1686, the name was changed from Westerly to Haversham, but the former name was restored in 1689. The Towns of Charlestown, Hopkinton, and Richmond were later taken from the Town of Westerly.

In its early beginnings, Westerly was the frontier town of the colony. Out of this beginning, many diversified industries grew, but Westerly has been best known for the granite that was once taken from its quarries for building purposes in neighboring towns and cities, and for monuments in various parts of the country.

Westerly is also known as a vacation area. The position of Watch Hill almost surrounded by the ocean and bay with beautiful formation of rocks and sand beaches all contribute to its beauty. The winds bring in the cool bracing sea air and the temperature in the summer is rarely oppressive. Rowing, swimming, ocean sailing, fishing, and hiking make this a favorite resort area.

Westerly's seven miles of sandy beaches are a mecca for tourism. The seven-mile strip is composed of the Misquamicut State beach, Westerly Town beach, public and many private beaches. The State Beach is open year-round, while other beaches are open from Memorial Day through Labor Day. The town of Westerly is located just minutes away from Interstate 95 and is divided by US Route 1. Granite Street, a five-mile portion of Route 1, runs through the heart of Westerly. It is ranked the 10th busiest street in Rhode Island with average daily traffic of 25,750 (both directions ). Passenger and freight transportation is available via Amtrak Rail Service and the Westerly State Airport. The town of Westerly is composed of seven villages also known as fire districts: Westerly, Watch Hill, Dunn's Corners, Misquamicut, Bradford, Shelter Harbor and Weekapaug. Between 1980 and 1990 Westerly experienced a 14.05% population growth. Currently, Westerly supports a population of over 23,000, although it nearly doubles during the summer due to the large number of vacationers and seasonal residences. Encompassing an area of 33 square miles, the town's average population density is projected to be 626 per square mile.

In 2002, the National Trust for Historic Preservation named Westerly as one of the 12 Most Distinctive Destinations in the country. The unique, well-preserved architecture downtown, coupled with 55 historic sites, such as the Babcock-Smith House and Flying Horse Carousel, makes it no surprise that Westerly received this outstanding designation.
