Hampton Beach Sand Artists….perform rain or shine

Don’t miss the Hampton Beach 9 th Annual Sand Sculpture competition. Hopefully this rain will give up and allow the sand sculpture participants to enjoy some awesome sun. Last year Jay and I went and had a blast looking at all the creative Sand Art. The show below is from last years event, but it will give you an idea of what a treat you’re in store for.  Head on up to Hampton from now until the 28th and get a first hand look!

Wilton New Hampshire on Putnam Hill Road. This is a true babbling brook… at least this time of year. Love the sound of rushing water.

Charmingfare Farm~Candia NH …A delightful holiday treat

I’ve written about Charmingfare farms in Candia NH before mainly because I think it’s one of those special places where memories are made.

I’m a Holiday light chaser…meaning I love looking at homes all decked out for the holidays. To me nothing is more special than to see the bright lights twinkling at night. Chramingfare has a lighted Winterwonder land sleigh ride where you can ride through thousands of lights and holiday scenes and even get to see Santa!  It will put a smile on your face!

So if your looking for something special to do…check out Chramingfare Farm.

Happy Holidays
Jay and Monika

Rick’s Pond View Restaurant Kingston NH

Recently we enjoyed a lovely dinner at the new Rick’s Pond View Restaurant in Kingston N.H.. We had received a gift certificate for Christmas (2007) from my son Marty which was for the original Pond View restaurant. The original Pond View closed shortly thereafter and I thought I would never get to use the certificate. I also thought it was pretty crappy that my son was sold the gift certificate to begin with since they had to have known that they were closing the doors. Read more

Taylor Saw Mill Derry NH~ on a crisp fall morning

Something about this place just draws me in. On the way home from Derry this morning I stopped by Taylor Saw Mill again, I could see the water running in the Mill and thought it might be cool to video it. It was very cold and I could see ice on Ballard Pond. I’m getting a little better with the video bit but I still have a long way to go. So what do you think?

New Hampshire the beautiful

Columbus day weekend brought perfect weather and perfect fall foliage

To take advantage of it we took a ride up north with friends, Liz and Brad Yasika and we had a great day. New Hampshire the beautiful is an understatement. Enjoy the slide show and see just how pretty New Hampshire can be in the fall.
