I can picture what you described - as a native New Englander, I got to spend 4 years in New Hampshire, and spent time in Vermont as well. Just great memories..

Pretty fortunate here (knock on wood) - one daughter in Seattle, the other nearby - but both independent, on their own, and doing fine. My wife spend the day making Tshirt and memory quilts, me selling veggie seedlings, planting and tending my garden, and writing. After paying my corporate dues (25 years...glad it is behind me), life is much slower paced for both my wife and I now - most of it spent outdoors when possible, with the music of the bird songs....I find myself spending far less time on the laptop or indoors between spring and early winter...it is wonderful "out there" (at least until the extremely hot and muggies hit Raleigh!).



PS - the older I get, the less "it" all makes sense....the politics, fights, squabbles, injustices - just a mass of inconsistencies. It is all hard to stomach...hence my wife and I enjoying as much as we can our relatively peaceful "bubble".....
