TWO-LTR ABBRV – TOWNS/CITIES WE LIVE/LIVED IN
WW
SK
WG
NS
Various family members of the family have lived in WW (West Warwick) over the years. I believe all three of the photos below were taken at family residences in West Warwick (First photo is Sheila, Amber, Kevin. Second photo is Bev. Third photo was used a few weeks back but as a reminder, it is of Frank and Flo Cummiskey and their first two children, Claire and Bill). Megan J and family currently reside in SK (South Kingstown). Karen and Lou’s current residence is in WG (West Greenwich) and Michaela, Jay, and Cecil live in NS (North Smithfield).
MATT – IT’S HIS BIRTHDAY!
IRONMAN
FARMER
ATC
Today is Matt’s birthday.
Matt has participated in several IRONMAN triathlon events…that’s a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride, and a 26.2-mile marathon run. Good times for sure!
He’s a FARMER – with both vegetable crops and animals. He and Lindsay currently have a few horses, several chickens and at least one pony.
When not swimming, biking, running, or farming he passes time as an Air Traffic Controller (ATC).
He’s still under 50 but he’s inching his way up there. Have a great day Matt!
TWO LEADING LETTERS ON OUR LICENSE PLATES
TB
CK
BS
GI
Full confession: I only know three of four of these associations. I have to guess the last one. Tom Brown has long had TB on his license plate. The photo below shows Tom’s car way back when (his was the red one). I tried to zoom in to see if his plate tag included TB that far back but I couldn’t tell definitively. Michaela’s car has CK on the plate (it had been her grandmother’s – Cecile Knott). Amber’s plate includes BS – sorry Amber, but I’ve always thought this very appropriate. The last two-letter combo is GI which I believe Tom Brown (the younger) has on his plate. I either gathered this info back at the Christmas party or during some gathering at the pool this summer, either way, I noted the letter combo in my head but forgot to jot down the rest of the information.

Okay got this one in two tries. Sure most will get it in one. Got lost on the towns, almost picked NS for North Stonnington?
Never would had gotten the license plates.
I only had to back out once too! I got the license plates last. Had no idea even when they were the last 4.
I should have gotten this in one try. Had 3 of the ones for Matt but was thinking TB and farmer were about Tom Brown so took a bit to get the 4th one for Matt.
I had forgotten the picture of Gramma + grampa. Thanks for sharing again!
I had forgotten that photo too. I think Mom looks like Nancy.
I think mom/Nancy resemblance is super strong here!
I got it in 4 – although in true disclosure I didn’t know what the license plate letters were but I had gotten the other three.
Happy Birthday Matt!
Love that picture of Amber, Sheila and Kevin!
And Bev and Jen are twins in that picture!
Okay could Bev look any more like Jenny.
AND I WANT EITHER ONE OF THOSE CARS!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATT
In total agreement about both Bev/Jen and the cars
Agree!
Love the cars!!!
I got the states where we have lived.
Did not know Matt and Lindsay were active farmers. They live a busy life.
Loved the Halloween picture of Amber, Shelia, and Kevin.
Yes, the picture of Bev looks like Jenny.
Matt and Lindsay have bees as well
I got it on the first try with one error.
Started with Matt but did not realize it was his birthday. I did not realize he was in the late September birthday lineup. I put NH with him at first. I was thinking Bob’s birthday 2 days earlier.
I decided to switch gears and went to the towns, then the states, then Matt. Last was the license plates which actually crossed my mind briefly because I knew TB and CK. Did not know the other two though I should of remembered Amber’s, I have made note of her’s before. Tommy’s not a clue.so I did not know the connection until I clicked on it.
I thought of using mine (NK) as that could mess with people as it would also work in the TOWN group
