A Crime spree,a pizza, Battlestar,and a jaunt..

Good Morning from

those of us

in

New Hampshire

This past week started out

rather news worthy..

We were told before we

came to the Portsmouth area

that the crime rate was

pretty much kneel,

zero, nothing..

that the occasional crime spree

would be something like

an over zealous teenager would

get their hands on some beer

and be caught over indulging in the

forbidden brew...

We have come to believe this might be

just a little over exaggerated..

Now, let me tell you the story of

Bosch...

Bosch is a teenage German Shepard

that ventured north with his master,

Jeff, one of the young men that works

with Michael..

(War Eagle!!,Jeff)

anyway, last week Jeff

was out of town on a

vacation..

(somewhere in Europe with his girlfriend)

Bosch was spending time at Benny's house...

as the story goes..

each time Benny would let Bosch out..

Bosch would take care of business then come

right back in..

until Thursday night that is...

Bosch was let out,

then..

He was no where to be found

Benny looked & looked

reportedly until 11:30 that night

still no Bosch!

The next morning rolled around,

still no Bosch!

Eventually, that teenage puppy

was found...

He had spent the night

in JAIL..

Yes, teenage Bosch

had been locked up!

He was fine..very tired..

apparently sleeping in a puppy jail

is not near as comfy as curling up

near a trusted friend!!

All said and done Bosch is fine..

Now, remember what started this

story of Bosch going to jail?

Yep, the wild and rampant crime in this area..

Last week in the local newspaper

the police report was

Bosch and his incarceration!

Bless his heart!

When last Friday rolled around

Michael asked if I would

like to eat out..

He was reminded that the

"series" finale for

"Battlestar Galactica"

(a 2 hour event)

was to air that night and the

whole day on the SCIFI channel was a

Battlestar marathon..

so , plans were made and procurement

brought in for the creating of homemade pizzas!!

What could be better

(in New Hampshire)

than homemade pizza in front of the t.v.

with one of your favorite shows!

We had fun..

The whole crew gathered in the living room

for

Battlestar

(pictures found on the net)

***

That weekend we drove up into Maine,

Chloe road along..

she had never been to Maine!

On the trip we went up 1-A along the

coast as we so often do..

always hoping for a seal sighting..

always keeping an eye peeled

for that ever elusive moose!
I have talked about

Kittery , Maine

and its outlets..

leaving Portsmouth

you travel across the draw bridge

and then you arrive in Kittery

Joe and Brandy have an Apt. here on the Maine side of things.

Dunkin Donuts are every where you look

everyone seems to think they are out

of this world..

Recon how they would react to a

fresh, hot Krispy Kreem..

I am afraid it would probably

cause some seizure activity!

Bless their hearts!

***

On into Maine..

I know you have seen pictures

of this route before..but, for some reason

the color of the sky, the color of the water,

the reflection of this and that, the spray from

a wave..

something in them made me want to share these..

so here we go..

Seals have been sighted here in the past

..just not by us..

Murphy's Law:

While you are in the next state

craning your neck and squinting your eyes

always vigalent for a seal sighting...

you will sight one

at home,

on the telivision,

on the local evening news

where a seal was sunning

at

Seabrook Beach practically in your own back yard!
(it is a public beach and apparently the Seal

was a bit uppity about sharing its space..

fussed at the beach walkers..so it too, made the news!)

Chloe loves to ride!!

Jones Berry Limeade!!

GOOD!

can you guess what that is out there?

more snow

***

Some can not believe that

there is still some snow that has not melted,

there is outside the side door

out the kitchen window

the pond is still frozen

***

A peek into the

upcoming week...

this week end is the

New Hampshire Maple Weekend

They are opening the sap houses

all over the state

for the public to be able to watch and learn

about the gathering of sap and

the "sugaring off" process..

Some faires or festivals are being held

around these..

with

Sap gathering contest,

obstacle courses for teams of horses,

syrup samples, hayrides, refreshments

maple syrup on snow, ice cream, pancakes,

donuts, candy, and in your coffee...

I am going to keep my hopes up

for good weather!!
