Home Again

I took this picture of Mom and Dad at their doorstep just before I hopped in the car to return back home to NC yesterday morning, we always have a lot of fun when we visit them in New Hampshire; the time goes by much too quickly and it's never easy to say good-bye. I'm happy to report that they're doing great and we'll be back again in a few short months. Where they live now is not the home that I was raised in, they moved "up country" (from Massachusetts) a few years ago. But, for me, being back in New England and with my parents is going home again; wherever that place happens to be.  We spent time together over meals, at quilt shops, touring the area, playing cards and on a sunset dinner cruise on Lake Winnipesaukee's Mt. Washington last Friday evening along with my sister and her husband; it was just spectacular.
Here we are: me, Mom and my sister on the top deck, before dinner. I took the shots below as we progressed on our three hour tour (no Gilligan's Island reruns for us.... the weather was perfect).We disembarked "the Mount" to a vibrant fireworks display!

Of course, no trip to New Hampshire is complete without a stop at Mosquito Bridge in Winnesquam

for fried clams. This may be the single reason I am now on a cholesterol reducing drug. 

It's okay, it's worth it; this only happens once a year. Oh. My. Goodness... were they GOOD!

Life is Good!
