Looking Down......

We recently spend a few weeks exploring New York State, Vermont and New Hampshire. Our little RV took us down the road from place to place as we wandered. A quick stop at Niagara Falls, campgrounds along Lake Ontario and Lake Champlain, wooded sites in the Green Mountains....each evening provided new views and new discoveries.

One of the best parts of the trips was connecting with family and friends we don't get to see very often. Brunch with one of Dave's high school friends (he was in our wedding almost 50 years ago!) in Franconia, NH. Two days visiting with Dave's brother and family in Atkinson, NH and then two nights in our friend's (the Other Lynn and Dave) driveway in Hollis, NH.

The big adventure in Hollis was a tramp through the woods to find mushrooms! The exploration began when Lynn and I were walking Fenway and noticed a few interesting specimens along the road. We brought one home.

Challenge accepted the two Daves grabbed a basket and disappeared into the woods behind their house. Gone for quite awhile they came back with a mother load......we now have to find a mushroom book to figure out just what they are.

Leaving the house to do some shopping Lynn and I renturned to find that the treasures inspired creativity......creativity covering most of the round table on the screen porch. We squeezed our plates and silverware around the edge just so we could enjoy this one-of-a-kind centerpiece.

So now as I walk....sometimes I look up and sometimes I look down. You never know what little delight is waiting!
