i took Tricia by the university of NH observatory and we found this old cemetery at the top of the hill; it was bittery cold out, the wind was blowing hard; kinda visually stunning and very cool, literally. I will go back to see how old the grave site is. it was just too cold to venture into the graveyard.


on the way home we stopped for a couple of beers and Tricia had "2" sea breezes.

Walking the dog yesterday

This is kinda close to where we live. Yesterday when i was walking the dog i had the camera and i heard the whistle and thought cool i'll take a picture. It was just an engine still kinda of cool in the snow and everything.

Friday morning; 3/28/08

It's currently snowing ; it's kinda nice. we did our errands yesterday so we'll probably just hang around today.

"Peyton Place"

Spring is coming ; the rivers are melting; we took a ride up to the "real" Peyton Place, Gilmanton and Gilmanton Iron works , New Hampshire.



The following picture is actually Wolfeboro NH

The 1st day of Spring

We had a couple of errands in town.(Portsmouth);............

....... then we just followed the coast up to the Bushes place .........


i liked this old church in Kennebunkport.

and we turned around and came back.

Ides of March

We went out to our new accountant this morning and afterwards we thought we'd head towards Portsmouth and we saw this old restaurant tavern called Lamie’s Inn. It was great. i had fish chowder and a lobster roll. Tricia had onion soup and a burger. This is what's left.

Great old Tavern and Inn; a lot of history in this old place.


........as we headed home we decided to check out the old Air Force base Pease; it's on the Great Bay. We are really loving this place. !!!

Newick's

Went to Newick's for lunch; i had the fisherman's platter and a beer. Tricia had shrimp and fish and chips.

Cold and restful day

Walked over to Heron Point and came home. Too much ice i couldn't safely walk; luke was ok but i was slipping a lot. The river looked pretty high compared to what i've seen.

20 days till spring !!!

It's snowing a lot this morning; i'm supposed to volunteer at the Portsmouth Athenæum today. i'll wait a little to see if they are opened and if they are i'll need to figure out the public transportation.

Thursday Morning

It snowed again last night .


i'm waiting around for Tricia to get up and then we're running to the gym.

Monday morning; 2/5/08

Went swimming this morning at the Swasey pool; then took luke out to the Heron Point sanctuary . It was kinda of slippery in the woods there was a lot of ice underneath the snow. i must of fallen about 5 times before i decided to turn back. luke thought it was a big game as i slid off the rocks and down into the river.

Beautiful Sunday here in New Hampshire. We went to church; then came home and got luke and headed to the shore.



After we got home i took luke down by the mills and found a new way across the river to a wild life sanctuary. Heron Point Sanctuary, i thought it was private property but discovered a sign that said it was donated to the city of Newmarket; kinda of cool. there were a bunch of teenagers playing paint ball in the woods but luke sounded ferocious and they were pretty respectful.

This was the 1st time i've seen the big falls stopped i could read the date of 1887.

i could never see it because of the falls somehow they had diverted the water to come out the side.

This is from across the river on the side of the sanctuary looking over into town.

Washington's Birthday

Yeah..............; it's Washington's Birthday today.

It's been snowing all day; it's very pretty out. Walked down to the center of town; this is the local diner it's called Joyce's Kitchen.

This is looking out behind Joyces kitchen.

this is looking up the street from Joyce's Kitchen; thats actually our bank.

This building is right downtown very old i can not read the sign how old it is but i think it's the skinniest building in New hampshire.

Another great day; Tricia gets new furniture

Tricia said that she was tired of sitting on the floor and wanted something to sit on in the living room and front bedroom. (we haven't even been here 2 months!) So she picked out some couch, loveseat and chair from LazyBoy (aka sam). We went over to Manchester and put some money down on luke's new forbidden fruit.
We got up sort of early went to the gym; came home while Tricia was in the shower i walked luke down by the mill because i wanted to see the river it's been sort of high out back. This is down by the falls and in between the two mills.

Jumped in the car and headed over to Manchester NH. This is Route 101 it cuts across the lower part of the state.

Here's the "bride" on the love seat she wants and the couch.

........and here's the "lazy" boy in the chair she wants.

Afterwards we shot over to the coast and went up to Portsmouth to pick up the mail. the following picks are around Rye NH. looking towards the Isle of Shoals.



oh it's still pretty cold but beautiful.

Saturday; February 16, 2008

Saturday night ........very cold outside but very heart warming inside .

Friday, February 15th

Went to the gym early this morning, came back went over to get some pills for luke at the Vet in Stratham. Then over to Exeter and drove up to Dover stopped for a piece of pizza and came back through Madbury , Durham and home.
