Low Key Weekend

This past weekend was low key. Fall feeling in the air, lots of grey skies. I ended up having to go get a new computer, and now I am getting used to this new Windows 8 operating system, installing programs, getting things back to the way I am used to them.Such a pain!

Yesterday I needed to go do something fun because I was just feeling kind of low. So the hubby and I went to visit the Wentworth Coolidge House. We go by this State Park all the time in the boat, and I have shown you photos of it from the boat before. But I have never had a chance to check it out up close.

Here's the post I showed you the house from the water back in June.

Yellow House, Wentworth-Coolidge House

It is as much a labyrinth of rooms inside as it looks from the outside. In  typical Yankee New England style, the previous owners just added buildings they had moved from other places onto the original building and turned it into this interesting old place. It was first the home of the Wentworth family, home of a governor of New Hampshire, and then become the summer home of the Coolidge's.

Love this giant anchor and this giant chain.

 A real pretty view though, don't you think? 

I'm glad I got to finally check it out. Didn't totally knock me out of my blah mood, but still was a lot of fun.

And now, its the last week of my summer vacation. I want to go have whirlwind crazy fun week, wear this vacation me right out of my bones, but don't think that's in my cards. Hopefully it will be at least a little bit of crazy fun.

See you again soon.

Wrapping up a Weekend

My afternoon, a relaxing afternoon on the boat in Great Bay. Salt water, warm air, not too much sun...

Been a great weekend-yesterday I did major work on the closet in my studio/spare room...still more to do which I can do tomorrow since I don't have to go to work...but that hasn't sunk into my brain yet. But it's gonna be SOOO nice to have some organized space there. Then last night Dave and I went to see X Men which I enjoyed. And today... we went boating...booked some rooms for next summer in Glacier Nat. Park...talked to my mommy...

and tomorrow, I can sleep in if I want...gonna do some major cleaning...that is how I am going to spend the first day off of my vacation but I want to get this done!

But first, tonight, gonna watch the last 3 episodes of last season's True Blood.

A Beautiful Day

Yesterday was a beautiful day and we took our shake-down cruise in my hubby's boat for Father's Day on my favorite local lake-Merrymeeting. Me, the hubby and our dog Harl.

This is such a funny photo. Harley wished that this boat had a front cushion seat so he could sit and let the wind blow over his face-but the hubby's boat is a fishing boat and not built for comfy cruising...but its not uncomfy, just not a party boat.

Beautiful New Hampshire. I LOVE living here-even if our winters don't end very early-(my 1 complaint- we have long cold winter with way too much snow)

But look at this summer sun.

 And this happy guy!

Another beautiful view of my  hometown.
