We've been working and playing since I last wrote. More chilly weather and some rain. Hoping it will finally get warm and stay dry for a while. School gets out this week and we should get busier during the week and on the weekends. I have been in the reservations office all week and I like it when it is busy with calls and emails. Jeff had a few days in the store and we had lots of time off. We sleep late and take walks with Sirius. We try to take him to the dog park where he chases a ball and gets plenty of exercise. So far he has been the only dog there so he plays with us. One day I stopped at a dumpster to throw in our trash. As I opened the side door a terrified squirrel flew (yes flew) past my head and onto the road. Poor thing was screeching and who knows how long it had been in there. Well, I was terrified too and thankful that it didn't land on me.
Today we headed south on Route 16 and then west to the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee. We arrived at Wolfeboro with a population of 6000+ and an adorable downtown area. Lots of shops and restaurants along the main street and waterfront. There is a fancy prep school there called Brewster Academy with the beautiful Pinckney Boathouse. Wonder if it is related to our South Carolina Pinckneys?
We found a place with outdoor seating for lunch and enjoyed the views. Sirius was a very good boy and everyone stopped to pet him. While we were there the Winnipesaukee Belle pulled out with a sightseeing tour. We will try to do that this summer or one of the larger boats from Weir's Beach.
After lunch we visited the tourist office in the old train station and window shopped. There was a lovely park where we sat in the sunshine enjoying the views and a whimsical sculpture that was not J. Seward Johnson.
On the way to the car we stopped off for ice cream. Jeff shared a few licks with Sirius who thinks human treats are better than his own.
A fun day and now we are home, had dinner and went to the dog park.We'll watch some TV and make plans for tomorrow. This is a tough job, but someone has to do it!
