Nubble Lighthouse

On Saturday I went to the Maine coast with my friends Tony and Susan. We visited Nubble Lighthouse. I had taken Tyler over there when he was here. Thomas and Steven had gone with us. By the time we got there it was dark, so we didn't get pictures. It was bitterly cold and windy on Saturday. But it was a beautiful day.

You can see how windy it was. We were freezing. This is my friend Susan. We stopped in Dover at the Salmon Falls pottery. Then we stopped in Kittery, Maine at the "When Pigs Fly" bread store! We sampled just about everything they sold in the store! It was sooooo good.

These are surfers in the water. In the height of summer the water temperature does not go much over 65 degrees. It had to have been bitterly cold! Surfing only in wet suits. These people had to be nuts!

Countdown to the NH Primary!

I love the Primary season here in New Hampshire. It has been fun to follow the debates, the candidates and the ads. But I will be glad when my phone stops ringing and the mailings stop coming! This year the candidates have really inundated us with ads on the television, radio and by telephone. We have also had mounds of mailings! I think I have finally made up my mind and feel pretty certain about who I will vote for when I step in the booth on Tuesday. I thought I would give you all a little picture of the signs that are covering all our snow mounds around the state! It is quite a colorful sight. My favorite though, are the "STOP GLOBAL WARMING" signs that are planted into the six foot high snow piles!

SNOW

I had said yesterday that December may have been the snowiest December in New Hampshire history. I read this morning on WMUR TV 9 website:

With 10.1" of snow out of this past storm, December 2007 has become the snowiest December on record with an amazing 44.5", breaking the old record of 43.0" set back in 1876. To take it a step further December 2007 also becomes the 5th snowiest month on record! Bear in mind those records go all the way back into the 1870s.

We are set to have more snow starting this afternoon. New Hampshire still is a great place to live.
