9 Foods that Spoil the Fastest and Tips to Help them last longer.
Like it or not, these foods spoil faster than others.Here are some tips on helping 
them to last longer. 

Fresh Berries- Don't wash or cut until ready to eat.  
Avocados- Refrigerate 
Bananas-  I gave up trying to save them- I buy green and semi green so they ripen at different times. 
Broccoli- Refrigerate in bin away from fruit.
Raw Fish- Try and buy fish the day you want to eat it. 
Ground Beef use within 2 days or freece 
Deli Meat- I  buy the kind that has 2 sealed packaged bags 
Cakes and Cupcakes refrigerate 
Milk-  Store milk in the back of your fridge, where temperatures are coldest.



HAVE YOU SEEN THE ELEPHANTS in Newport, RI? and the Glorious Mansions 
I highly recommend you plan a visit before they are gone For more info visit 
https://www.newportmansions.org/events/the-great-elephant-migration
July 3 – September 6, 2024   10:00am – 5:00pm
Elephant sculptures are displayed outdoors at Rough Point Museum and Salve Regina University’s McAuley Hall. FREE to view. The sculptures were created by The Coexistence Collective, a community of 200 indigenous artisans in the Nilgiri Hills of South India. They are made from lantana camara, an invasive weed that encroaches on wildlife habitat. ( Blow up photo to see details ) They must use thousands of nails! 
Twenty-six life-size Indian elephant sculptures parade across the back lawn of The Breakers  ( fee to enter)  as part of the first American stop of this traveling exhibition.
*** We parked at 40 Steps Narragansett Ave. near Salve Regina McAuley Hall ( a Big brick building that is not marked ) the elephants are behind the Hall. You can touch them and see them up close. We then walked down Cliff Walk and saw the elephants from a distance at the Breakers. We walked past the Anglesea Mansion There is a difficult walk area, a smooth natural boulder path which we navigated ok. its in red on map. You have the option to take the trolley instead. Then we walked past Rosecliff, Beechwood and the Marble House Mansions to the Chinese Tea house ( worth seeing )  We turned around there and took a Free trolley back to the car.  Here is the Cliff Walk and Trolley Map.  I suggest you print the map. Wear good walking shoes and bring water.      https://assets.simpleviewinc.com/simpleview/image/upload/v1/clients/newportri/Cliff_Walk_Legal_Map_3//assets.simpleviewinc.com/simpleview/image/upload/v1/clients/newportri/Cliff_Walk_Legal_Map_3__6858041e-f08b-4765-b2a6-de7312771ace.pdf

What our clients are saying  

Karen was fantastic. She did a great job staging, marketing, and photographing my house. It was so great I got a fantastic offer on my house. Highly recommend her. From Karen - Eddie received $45,000 over asking price for his home. He was thrilled!

 

~ Eddie Papa

Karen sold my mom's home in Dartmouth for me everything was up front and open she did all the foot work and paper work I had no time to do . She handled all of the details perfectly she called me at every turn to keep me in the loop she helped me make good decisions that needed to be made I was so satisfied with her professional and personal skills I recommended her to friends. Sousa Family Dartmouth Ma * update from Karen- I was able to help Sue sell her home in Dartmouth MA and move closer to her son and grandchildren.

 

~ Sousa Family

We have bought & sold quite a bit of properties over the last 35 years & have had the fortune of working with some very fine Real Estate agents. We had a property for sale that didn't sell last year and Karen contacted us, telling us she could sell our property. We lived out of state and hadn't done much work on it, other than repairs & maintenance. It was in need of extensive remodeling and the septic system needed to be replaced. Karen focused on the positives in her Marketing of the property and got quite amount of interest in the property. She was relentless & must have showed that property 2 dozen times until she found the perfect match for our property. It was by far the hardest sale of the year for her, but her determination paid off. Like we said in the beginning , we have worked with some very fine Real Estate agents over the years, but none as determined as Karen. If you want your property sold, Karen will sell it for you. We highly recommend her !!!! Gordon & Janice

 

~ Gordon & Janice

" Karen worked very hard for us, Selling our home in Freetown, then helping us find a new home in Westport, We want to thank her for everything she has done to make the transaction seem easy. We will be recommending her to our family & friends." -The Edwards Family, Westport, MA
