Luxury Living in Sugar Hill, NH
Well this past summer I have spent a considerable amount of time venturing out throughout the North Country of New Hampshire on all our lovely country roads. One of my favorite rides is on Route 117, the road connects Franconia NH to Lisbon NH and goes right through the picturesque town of Sugar Hill NH.
Driving through Sugar Hill last week, I turned onto Sunset Hill Rd., the most enchanting road in Sugar Hill and was captivated by the views of the Franconia Notch and the Presidential Mountain...

Bretton Woods: Living At the End of the Rainbow
Just on my way home the other day, I caught a glimpse of this beautiful rainbow. Having my camera with me at all times, I pulled over and took a picture. The rainbow seemed to end just over the Mount Washington Resort at Bretton Woods, which got me to thinking that Bretton Woods truly is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
I feel so fortunate to be able to call Bretton Woods my home. Aside from the obvious bonus of living at a resort with some of the finest skiing in the east, 27 holes of spectacular golf, access to an incredible brand new spa, some gre...

Asian Long Horned Beetle Threat in New Hampshire

The state of New Hampshire and the White Mountains National Forest Campgrounds no longer allow firewood to be brought in from out of state, unless it is kiln-dried wood in its original package with label in place.
This drastic, but necessary measure has been taken due to a very destructive and invasive insect – the Asian long horned beetle. This beetle thought to have been transported here from China via wooden shipping pallets, first showed up in Brooklyn, New York in 1996. In August of 2008, the beetles were discovered a bit closer to home, in Worcest...

Cash for Clunkers and the $8,000 First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit
As I passed by Littleton Chevrolet one of our local car dealers, I couldn't help but notice the large dumpster out front with the two "clunkers" in it. I love the visual, and I think its such an effective way to promote the Cash for Clunkers program. In fact I was going to take a picture of it, but the Associated Press beat me to it, and I saw one of Littleton Chevy's sister dealerships - Springfield Auto Mart in the Wall Street Journal with their own dumpster and clunkers.
But I digress, what does the...
