I'mmm Baaack!

Back from a wonderful vacation in SUNapee, NH! Oh, but I missed you all! Who knew a week away would cause such blogging withdrawal?! And I got pretty sick I tell ya! Had to take a break though~I had no choice! Internet service in the mountains was hit or miss, mostly the latter!
We lucked out with perfect weather though, for hiking and boating. When I think of New Hampshire, I think of lakes and lighthouses...


Dinner cruise anyone?
The kids had a blast!

A hazy morning here but you can just make out the lake. We ascended around 2500ft. to Lake Solitude. I would have photographed all the cool woodland plants (ferns, mushrooms) but the gang left me in the dust! Hey, these little feet don't go very fast! And it was a very muddy and root-rutted trail.

You just knew I had to include flowers in this post!

And a duck... and a chipmunk...lol! A favorite past-time~reading and relaxing.
Ahhh....you can just feel the peace... And talk about jaw-dropping gorgeous sunsets...
Can you tell I love this little island...so cute!By week's end, I was very sad to leave.
So, 'til next time, Sunapee...
I'll be missing thee...okay, corny rhyme!

    Thanks, Darla!

    Hey Tina. Yes, we were blessed with gorgeous weather the whole week! Cool enough for sweaters at night but sunshine everyday :)

    Autumn Belle and Missy..thanks girls, for visiting!

    Haha, Patsi, I did tell them! They were way ahead and under the dark dense trees, I started hearing spooky noises...so no pictures!

    That's what we call BLUE... our sea is less blue I think. So good that your family had such a wonderful time...

    Hi Lynn, that lighthouse photo is amazing! I have never seen water that color before, so crystal pure and clear. It looks like a great time and getting away from blogging is a good thing sometimes. Lets new ideas form when we come back to it. Reading is such a treat and thanks for the red white and blue! :-)

    Hi, thanks you all for visiting! I really enjoy hearing from you!

    Steph, that purple 'pineapple' looking flower are wild thistle blooms..they were everywhere!

    Hi Frances, funny after I took the light house photo from a boat ride, I came across an identical view on a post-card in town..totally made my day! Great that you noticed the RW&B details!

    Bangchik, the deep blue of the water is beautiful, isn't it...depending on light and time of day, the shade changes from green, brown and even pink..like the sunset.

    That is a beautiful place. I love to read, too, but mostly it's been on my break at work. I must be more addicted to the computer than you are, if you are still finding time to read.
