Love the Saint!

This weekend on one of my little outings, we stopped at the beautiful garden and home of the famous American Reinaissance Sculptor Saint Gaudens.
Over 100 of his artworks can be seen in the galleries, from heroic public monuments to expressive portrait reliefs, and the gold coins which changed the look of American coinage.

Covered Bridges, Shredded Pork and Leaves

Yesterday was my big covered bridges tour with my husband that ended up being a date with my parents and daughter. What the heck they were in town! The more the merrier. Today we headed to Western NH and up the border of Vermont and NH North- comprehendo?
We took in several [...]

Oh Fall! How We Love Thee!

Oh Fall…How we Love thee! It was this photograph I snapped this morning of Elizabeth that just put me in the mood!
I was starting to think about Fall today. The exuberant colors, the crisp cool air.

The pumpkins, the mums, the apple picking, the yard clean-up- ohhhh the yard clean up. [...]

Lazy Days

We love the Lazy Days of August…….

This is how we feel about it!

Hanging out here on the lake………….
We love to go at least once a summer to swim and do some fishing (Which is not my thing whatsoever)  but  the boys can catch a dozen fish so easily and I can kick it in the [...]

One Person Can Change Your Life and You Will Never Be the Same!

Occasionally, you meet people who just change your life.  Yesterday, this woman from Rwanda changed ours. Fortieunee Bizimana’s life story, put mine into total perspective.  Her vision made me a better person, enhanced my faith.  Her trials led me to want to be better, exercise more gratitude and work harder.  Nothing is easy for her.  [...]

Partly Cloudy and 69 Degrees

Our temperatures have been hanging in the very low numbers this summer with a rain shower nearly every other day.  I have been pulling out out of my bag of tricks, all of my indoor activities  to keep everyone happy, since swimming and sunscreen are not even an option this season.  I’m not complaining though, [...]

Who Doesn’t Want to Listen to Music on the Charles River While the Sun Goes Down?

Back when we were first married, we used to love to go to Deer Valley Resort in Park City, Utah and listen to the Utah Symphony play.  We would pack up the cheese and crackers and the drinks, and head up to the mountain with our lawn chairs and blankets.  Those were good times, tucked [...]

If I could add more to the last 3 days I would…..

We celebrated the big 12th Birthday of this awesome kid-
Chase was ordained a deacon in the priesthood at our church on Sunday by Brian…………Man I love these two guys!

Monday,  we finally went to the Robert Frost Farm and learned about the great [...]

Hillary Turned 15!

It is hard to believe that I have a 15 year old now.  It is hard to believe that in a couple of years, I will have an adult.  It all goes by so fast!  
Yesterday, this chick aged-up and we celebrated at the beach with perfect weather.  Hillary had been staying with her best [...]

Happily Ever After

So yesterday, I talked about trying to get it together with the younger kids and I did just that.  We kicked off the day with a visit to The Palace Theater for a performance of Cinderella.  It’s not London’s West End, and only an hour performance, but it did the job and entertained the kids. [...]
