I had a grinda' for suppa last night.

Also, recently my mom just bought a house and my new room is down cella'. It's wicked nice.

When I'm not in my classes at RIC I like to stop at Newport Creamery for a cofee Awful Awful. Sometimes I stop at Del's too.

Now could someone please tell me where the bubbla is?
