Arrival in Canada

Happy travel and set up day!

  • The stars and the lightning bugs were bright as I left for work.  I identified Cygnus and  the Big Dipper.  I pulled out Star Tracker and then I thought I identified Bootes.  It was a wonderful way to start my day.
  • I worked four hours and then did what I could to be ready when my ride came.  I wasn't.  We packed up and got on the road a little before 10:30 AM.  We stopped before reaching the border to top off the gas tank and have lunch.  I slept a bunch.  We arrived on site a little before 5:00 PM.  I saw people I knew right off the bat.  We spent most of the rest of the day setting up, visiting with friends, and dinnertime.  
  • The bugs are ferocious however, the site has the potential to be magical.  Tomorrow I will put on my medieval clothes and enjoy the event.

My internet is not letting me upload pictures.  I will edit and add those later.  My apologies.

Wow, Long and PICTURES

What a wonderful day!  Here are some happy highlights and a bunch of pictures. My friend Stephanie (I got her permission to use her name) and I started out later than planned but Magalloway Mountain wasn't too long of a drive from where we camped.  After driving over miles of dirt roads we ended up at the trailhead.  We chose to go up the Bobcat Trail and down the Coot Trail.  The Bobcat Trail is a narrow trail that doubled as a small brook in places. 😉  When we got to the top of the mountain there was a trail to an overlook and we went there first.  The overlook was over a cliff, but it was beautiful and we could see so far.  The tower view was also spectacular and gave us a 360 degree view.  I don't know where the borders are, but from where we stood in New Hampshire we could see Canada and Maine, probably Vermont, too. The Coot Trail was wider and probably could be used by vehicles that can handle steep hills with rocks and gravel when maintai...

Final Post for 2024

--Here are some happy things from this last day of the year: It was a working day for me.  It was busy and I left early.  I had three and a half hours of PTO and I decided to use them.  There was internal guilt, but everyone I told that I had PTO to use, agreed that I needed to use my time. Since I was home a little early, I went to DIY Craft & Thrift and helped finish up the store reset.  The store looks great and somehow seems to be more spacious.   After a nap, I went to the party Keziah and Zed were having.  The theme has to do with toasting in the New Year with jam.  Jam-bor-brie is what they called it this year.  I got to spend time with friends visiting and playing games.  I learned two new games; The Isle of Cats and Dixit.  We also played Carcassonne.   It was a lot of fun.  I need to play games more often. Spin the Lego wheel to choose your jam! My board toward the beginning of playing The Isle of Cats. The y...

Here are some happy things from today: It started out as one of those days that I was just happy to make it to work.  Then I was doing things that made me feel motion sick.  Thankfully, I started feeling better about halfway through my day.  That is also when I was told that I made the cut and will be getting trained to be a Learning Ambassador in October.  I wasn't expecting this because I've been told no a few times now.  However, I'm happy I'll be learning new things and teaching what I already know. Today was Gideon's first day of eighth grade.  He got home from school, told us all about his day, and snuggled onto the big bean bag couch for a nap.  Keziah found out that Gideon didn't need the notebook he got for math class because he is in highschool algebra.  There was no homework assigned. ☮ Currently listening to: Tehanu , by Ursula K. Le Guin. Thank you for being part of my happy things. Stay safe.
