Rain, Rain go away!

Okay, it's time to do the annual - no more rain dance. I've got calls into the west coast, mid west and even Europe to help us with this. Last time we summoned a snow dance, our connections in Vegas performed the dance and the next day it snowed there. This time everyone needs to focus on the White Mountain region of New Hampshire. Everyone knows what to do and at 3 pm (est ) today, the ceremony will begin.

Will everyone have a moment of silence before the ceremony begins and then the dancing will start.

The Good Ole Days of Summer

Remember being on the porch in the late afternoon waiting for your turn to turn the handle on the ice cream maker. I was never so excited to have my turn and then I couldn't wait for my turn to be over. These days, I plug in the machine and then go sit on the front porch and wait until it's finished.

The afternoons are much different, but the ice cream still makes me feel like a kid again.

Summer has arrived!

This is day two of the beautiful sunshine that all New Englander's love and enjoy! We've waited long enough this season and we're not gonna give it up now. One good thing: I don't need to worry about watering the lawn for a while.

Set up the geocaching event and the charity is the Conway Area Humane Society. Looking forward to visitors coming to take part of the event for such a worthy cause.

4 th of July festivities

BBQ's galore around here. Fireworks tonight night in Jackson along with ice cream in the park. Tomorrow two parades: one in Bartlett and the other in North Conway. Then the traditional craft fair at Gibson center, the fireworks and entertainment in North Conway. There's alot going on this weekend and we're hoping to get away from the Inn at least to see the fireworks.

The 4 th always brings back fond memories of getting together with friends for a BBQ/potluck. Of course the food was tremendous from appetizers to a complete selection for dessert. Holidays are about family and friends.

Have a great 4 th!

Monday - The work week begins

Mondays have never been my favorite. From the old work week of Monday through Friday, I would say Monday is the least favorite. Starting a whole new week and it being 5 days from another two days off. This coming weekend is the 4th of July holiday weekend. Parades - of course we only have one float in our parade this year. Yes this is Mayberry all over again. We'll have the traditional firetrucks, emergency equipment, a few people on bikes, etc., but only one float. One thing about living in a small town, things are limited in some areas of the community. But I definitely won't go without the traditional BBQ. Friends of ours in California would always get together with a BBQ, fireworks and alot of talking. We could talk for hours about anything and not run out of things to say. We would start planning a couple weeks early, sketch a menu and call everyone to see what they wanted to bring. The food was fantastic - I guess were were foodies and at the time didn't realize it. But it was always a great get together. I looked forward to all the holidays with our friends. Even though we are in NH now, we still help plan their menu. It makes us, in some way still feel apart of the festivities.

Happy Fourth of July everyone!

Friday is the best day of the week

I don't care what anyone says, I really love Fridays. Mainly because I'm used to the old work week Monday through Friday scenario. Of course that's not our schedule now. Having a B&B changes your schedule from week to week. Sometimes you work 4 days, sometimes it's 7 days. But in my mind Friday still gets my attention. These blogs can really get you rambling.

Middle of the week

Today was a little wet off and on, but this evening is gorgeous. Sitting out on the front porch, the cloud hanging low over the mountains. What a beautiful sight at sundown.

Stopped by to visit with Les today and set up our charity event for the North Conway Area Humane Society. Runs through the summer and we've already hidden the geocache boxes in the valley. A few more things to organize, but then we'll set it up on the web site.

Looking forward to a nice weekend and maybe going to the Bridge Dance in Jackson. It's great to live in a small town, it reminds me of Mayberry.
