July 18, 2018 – A Snowbird's Life Through the Lens

LqJust down the road from the Mt. Washington hotel you will find the charming little town of North Conway. We shopped, we ate, or more correctly, we pigged out, And then attempted to walk off our lunch while we acted silly and took photographs. I have always said that when we get together I feel like we are a couple of 15 year old grandmothers, and apparently that’s never going to change…Kathy has three wild turkey ‘moms’ with a lot of babies in her yard daily. They are fast, I haven’t gotten good pictures. But I’ve often thought that wild turkeys don’t look like ‘real’ turkeys. Finally one put on a show when I was trying to take pictures. Guess they really are turkeys aren’t they?

It’s Salisbury, NH’s 250th birthday this year. The Sestercentennial, for which there is a competition for the residents involving placing a wagon and flowers out on your property. This one is my favorite, so far, the truck that is. But the wagon is fun too. Plus another covered bridge, more photos from Weir Beach, and alpacas from the local veterinarian’s yard. As we were driving the other day I said to Kathy that I’m not in Florida anymore, she said, “You’re not in Kansas either.” No, I’m not. And I won’t be here much longer. The dreaded good-byes are just around the corner, but only ’til next time…

I love that little kid from Weir’s Beach. I thought I was taking pictures of a little kid having fun on the beach. Turned out she was sobbing her eyes out. My daughter once said of me that I see what I want to see, if the shoe fits…
