Christmas Parade Message

With turkey leftovers still in many folks refrigerators the weekend brought us a wonderful helping of the spirit of Christmas with Laconia's annual Holiday parade.

If you ask me these children had the best seat in town!

And the Cereal Hero Express.....   well they expressed the best message!

The streets were filled with marchers caroling, bell ringing and giving....

The horns played

 and the smiles grew wide.....

 Santa's elves even took a break from their workshop at the North Pole to march down Main Street

 followed by the Grinch ...Who's heart is exactly in the right place and size!

 Young and old shared the excitement and delight as Santa and Mrs. Claus rode their sleigh through downtown

 ...with a wave to the crowd and a brief stop to light up the Christmas tree in Veteran's Square before heading back to the North Pole.

As we begin this holiday season be thankful, be kind, be giving and let the sparkle of Christmas fill your heart.

Make Every Day a New Chapter

First snowstorms of the season ~ and we're off to a great start!
I love that feeling of
"being a kid and going out to play..."
For me it never gets old,
I've always been a "winter lover"
....and I'm sure I always will be.

Don't go through life backwards
   make each day a new chapter

Breathe in the beauty surrounding you

...from all sides

especially "inside" 

 'cause at the end of the day         

       there's no place like home

Up the Road Aways Over the Border

In celebration of our 34th wedding anniversary Jim and I headed north over the border into Canada.  Close to home combined with a lovely french flair and charming hospitality.

The warmth of the October sun, 

a bright blue sky with a 

brisk breeze on the lake

I'm thinking this laundry on the line sums up our "feeling" of the day.

 

Hanging out - feeling fresh!! 

As we meandered our way back to the shanty we were greeted with the 

warmth of the sun that followed us all day...

a cozy spot

...a day well traveled

that comfortable feeling of spending time together 

to breathe and fly!

Place of Beauty and Exploration ~ Country Style

A drive down the road

followed by a drive up the road

Travel refreshes you.

It opens your eyes to new experiences

some, though they feel familiar, 

you know you've never 

been here before 

You can take in the views from above
getting a sense of the land you have explored....







...as well as the places
you have yet to go.

Marriage of Light and Shadow

This carriage house located on the north tip of Lake Massawippi offered us a charming lunch spot.  

Built in 1900 you can't help but think about her history and ponder stories from visitors years past.  

Part of the fun of traveling is not knowing what is around the next bend.  Heading east from North Hatley offered us nothing in the way of main highways.  Much to our delight - off the beaten path is definitely more our style.  Driving by this church brought a smile and lovely reminder of our reason for our getaway.

After a day of exploring it was a nice feeling to
come back "home" to such a warm and inviting space.
Modern conveniences included - press of a button.

Fireplace on!

enjoy,
