In 1958 Rhode Island Postmaster General Arthur Summerfield ordered construction of the First

Fully Automated Post Office of the United States at Providence, Rhode Island in the West River Development Area.
The Providence Post Office was designed with the latest electronic and mechanical devices of the time to automatically move more than a million pieces of mail daily with a speed and efficiency never before achieved. It became known as the "Turnkey Post Office".
This First Fully Automated Post Office of the United States was dedicated October 20, 1960 by the Postmaster General Arthur Summerfield. Dwight D. Eisenhower was President of the United States.

This is a place I frequent because their lobby which is open 24/7 with an automated mailing machine. I tell my Ebay bidders that I will ship their purchase within 24 hours of payment, therefore I am able to provide 5 star outstanding service by giving them lighting fast shipping. This has earned me 560+ feedback 100%. by shipping my items using this main Providence Posy Office rather than the local branches.

MY WORLD Hearthside — The House That Love Built

Great Road Historic District

at the intersection of Breakneck Hill Road.

This Historic Great Road is in walking distance from my home, about 30 minutes and near the Lincoln Woods State Park.

Along this famous Great Road in my hometown of Lincoln, RI, appears this gorgeous unique fieldstone two-1/2 story 10-room home mansion with 10 fireplaces built in 1810 built by Stephen Hopkins Smith.

The Hearthside, is considered to be one of the "finest examples of early nineteenth century Federal-style houses in Rhode Island. It is located at 677 Great Road (Rt. 123), (Great Road Historic District) at the intersection of Breakneck Hill Road.
Legend has it that Smith built this house to impress a young lady from Providence with winnings from a Louisiana State Lottery, which he kept a secret from her. Upon completion of the house Smith took the young lady for a ride to see this beautiful house, which she commented to him, "Why anyone would want to live in the wilderness!" As a result of her rejection, he never married. In 1996 the town became the owners of this site, and Hearthside has become the backdrop to many public and private social events.

OAKLAND BEACH, WARWICK, RI

A favorite place my hubby and I love to go to is to

Oakland Beach

in Warwick, RI.

"This would be a great place to take our 2 toddler grandsons from SC" while we watched them for few days this past October while their Mommy and Daddy went to New Hampshire for a wedding, that my son was to be a groomsman.

The boys were given new experiences like eating doughboys from the famous Gus's (Iggys) since 1950's. Growing up this was my family trip practically every other weekend. There used to be a carousel and a carnival midway that was so much fun as well as the beach to swim.

They also tried clam cakes and chowder. After eating we walked the bike bath and came close to seagulls eating and then had fun collecting seashells. Finally they enjoyed the playground made to look like a ship.

A fun place for all of us and

a great RI landmark

HAPPY BIRTHDAY - June 29, 1944

This is my Daddy, he was in World War II

I am only 2 and I am waiting for him to come home so we can play and he can hug me and hug me. I miss him so much and I know he misses me and Mommy, too.

" I am sitting on Mommy and Daddy's bed, so Mommy can tell me a bedtime story. I love stories read to me. We live in an apartment on 94 Warren Avenue in East Providence, RI. When my Daddy comes home we are going to go live in one of Nana's apartments down the road at 413 Warren Avenue. We will be all together there, Mommy, Daddy , and me"

"This is my favorite picture, it was taken in Providence at the Loring Studio. I am 3 years old."

How sad it must have been.......

The excitement of a first child being born is a memory that a father cherishes forever. On June 29, 1944, I was born to the Portuguese-descent parents, Mary Kathyrn Medeiros and Edmund Joseph Pacheco from East Providence, RI at Memorial Hospital. How sad it must have been for my Mom to have my Dad here for just a few days on furlough and to have him leave to return to the war and how sad for him to leave his new born daughter and wife. But fortunately he was here for my birth. My Mom sent him frequent photos of my progress with her love letters until he was discharged in 1945. He was in the 14th Armored Division "A Co". My dad was the tank driver in the Army. They were married December 6, 1941 I was told that I was conceived in Des Moines, Iowa when my mom visited my dad on leave and named, Kathleen after her best friend.
