I hope that everyone had a good Memorial Day weekend. Since it marks the unofficial beginning of summer, I have changed the picture above to a picture of Franconia Notch. The ski slopes are Cannon Mountain. I have an aspiration of retiring up there. The weekend was busy - and included shopping for vanities for the bathroom, flooring and paint for my daughter's bedroom and shopping for a new suit and semi-formal dress for her. I've been doing a lot of walking and I have even gotten back to the gym!
