There's Thunder in Them Thar Hills!

As I am typing this it is thunder and lighting hmmm should I be on the porch on a metal table doing this?

The ending to Holderness' 250th celebration was Monday night with fireworks over the lake. It was such a pretty night with the moon and the fireworks,and all the boats on the lake.                              

 I did get a little thrifting in this week and a trip to the library. The sheets are doubles I paid 50cents each I think 60's or 70's and a dime for the cookie cutter. Tell me do you think these bookends are cute? I just love them and they will look great in my book case. The two books I got at the library the Janet Evanovich is just plain silly and good for a laugh. The other book Maine came very highly recommended. I will let you know when I am done.

 I also got a couple of magazines the handcraft one I had never heard of I couldn't find a date but it is older. and gooseberry is always something I pick up.

 A customer came in with fresh cucumbers for us. yummmm I love cucumber sandwiches on white bread with mayo, fresh dill, salt, and pepper. Oh how I love summer!

We are off to Dartmouth hospital tomorrow for tests all day. We got a very good report on his blood work on Monday. I am EXPECTING good news. His spirits are better more is good than bad.
Well I am going to make a pot of tea and listen to a Natalie Merchant CD I got at a yard sale a few weeks ago and wait for the storm to pass. Have a great week my sweet friends.

Happy 250th Holderness!

This weekend was the 250th birthday of our little town Holderness NH. The first to arrive was the very stylish Mattatuck Fife and Drum Band. They were the first to arrive 50 years ago at the 200th celebration.                                                                                                                                  

 Then up on the street  we honored the real natives to the area.

 Of course everyone was there, Hello Mr Lincoln!

 They came in from the farms to be there.

 and back from war.(or is he a messenger?)

 They came by canoe...

  very stylish antique boats.

 and very old steam powered boats. There was a parade on the street followed by an antique boat parade of about 25 boats. All shiny and beautiful.  The night before this there was a street dance and David even got up for a few dances!

  We capped the weekend off with a visit from Miss Baby. She is getting so funny now. All in All a wonderful weekend I hope you had the same.
