hello from New Hampshire

I am sitting in the kids' apartment in NH, having safely navigated the airports. There is the 'strip search', of course, OK, not completely, but when you have to take off shoes, 'outer garments' which at the airport means jackets and sweaters I think... We are all in a line, like a herd, really, shuffling along, trying to listen to directions being hollered through a megaphone by a very business-like woman. Drop cell phones and electronics into a box, have ALL liquid bottles in a plastic bag, separate from your carry on luggage, it just goes on and on.

Having survived the mass transit experience, which by the way did you know that non-stop isn't always? Evidently if you don't get off the plane when it lands, they can say you're on a nonstop flight. I was on a nonstop flight which first stopped in Philadelphia, huh??? It was OK though, most of the passengers got of in Phillie, the plane loaded up again and we took off within the hour. I got to fly over Manhattan, which was really cool. The Hudson is huge, and there were hundreds of barges moving up and down the river.

So, now I'm here, and the weather is holding for another day, it looks like. We plan to go to Concord, the capital, and sightsee a little. Should find a yarn store in the area and play some. Happy Spring!
