Vacation

I went to visit my friend Diane in southern New Hampshire. She has a lovely cottage on a pond surrounded by mountains and quaint little towns where we can hike and explore.

I left my computer at home and never bothered to sign onto the internet. Phone service was spotty at best. I was unplugged and what a relaxing time that afforded!

We explored Frye's Measure Mill, Cultural Cocoon, and a number of other little shops and antique stores. I did make one small purchase.

As usual when we get together there was good food, some wine, long conversations, games, a play, and walking.

The play we saw was A Doll House, Part II. Diane is a long time subscriber to the Peterborough Players and we stayed for talk back with the cast after the show. I really enjoy summer playhouse productions as a rule and this one did not disappoint.

I know retirement seems like full time vacation, but this was just a great treat.

Diane's husband Bill had a woodworking hobby. This is one of his creations:

Pretty talented for a hobby!
