My Vacation Is Over!

[jkjoshuatree]

My stay here on the shores of Winnipesaukee have sadly come to an end. I head back home today.

This year was a lot more relaxed than last. I didn’t do nearly as much (I think I did it all last year) and that’s fine with me. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I hiked Rattlesnake in Holderness with a dear friend, saw countless deer, and witnessed my first baby eagle (actually 3 of them on Blueberry Island).

I was smart(er) with my money this year so I was only able to dine out a few times. I went to Lydia’s Cafe for lunch (turkey curry bowl is delicious and healthy) and had me a couple of burritos from Burrito Me (good stuff!).

I also spent 4 days with my family at our place on Bear Island. We all got together to see my little sister and her new husband off. They’re moving to Colorado for a year and a half while he finishes out his Army service (thank you Marshall for protecting this amazing country of ours!). It was bittersweet. None of us wanted to see them go (especially my parents) but we know they have their entire lives in front of them. The good news is when they come back they’re buying a house in New Hampshire!

The weather was almost as amazing as last year (didn’t think it was possible!). It rained a few times but only for a short time and then the sun would poke it’s fiery head out and drench us all in it’s warmth.

I missed Forum Fest this year due to the “Going Away” party for my sister but I plan on being there next year. It was great to be able to put faces to the names (especially you FatLazyLess-you’re not what I thought you’d look like).

I want to give a special "shout out" to my host! I can't thank you enough for having me as your guest.

So you’ll hear from me again soon.

Thank you, my Winni.com friends, for being the people you are.
