My 35th Anniversary

Today is my 35th anniversary! And my wonderful husband surprised me with a cruise! A 3 hour cruise, a 3 hour cruise (come on, sing along)! Today was an absolutely perfect summer day in NH so we went on a cruise on Lake Winnepesaukee, also referred to as the Big Lake up in these parts, on the M.S. Mt. Washington. Here's my handsome man.

And here I am.

There are all sorts of camps along the shores and many islands.

And then there are the people who just have to tear down perfectly good camps and build these monstrosities-sorry a big pet peeve of mine. Can you say windows?

I think this next place is where French president Sarkozy stayed a few summers ago. It was reported to be something like $20,000 a day.

Before we know it there'll be snow here ready for the skiers at Gunstock ski area.

It was a delightful afternoon. We had been on 2 previous nightime cruises but I really wanted to go during the day and see more of the sights. And you can't beat a view up to the north part of the lake like this.

I hope I can cruise many more years with this wonderful man.

  7. Congrats to you and your DH. That's a beautiful area. We used to visit it often when we lived in MA. Do you ever visit Keepsake Quilts?

  10. Congrats on your 35th anniversary. That's a record in more ways than one. I haven't been on the Mt. Washington since I was a kid - Camp Bernadette in Wolfeboro always did a day trip there. I haven't thought about it in a long time - I'm going to have think about doing that trip. I love that area.

  13. Congratulations on your 35th!
    We went to Maine for our 35th, last week and our plans didn't work out, so we stayed with friends and had a wonderful time with them. I do love NH too, and have paddled up there. I saw some really big places being built, but nice ones that fit with the surroundings.

I pray that risen from the dead,
In glory I will stand,
A crown perhaps upon my head,
And a needle in my hand.
