Construction (remodeling) in the new house has been at full tilt for the last week or so, but that won’t stop us from celebrating our arrival in Keene with the delivery of a fresh pizza from Cheshire Village and a little wine!
The Move of Champions
Moving is never fun, but it’s always tiring. Eventually we got everything packed up and ready to go…
The new owners were wonderful to work with and we sailed through the closing with smiles all around.
Remind me, what is it realtors actually do? FSBO is the way to go!
When Suddenly Mary Jane Smith Appears
For the second year in a row, we were asked to speak at the regional SBDC New England Conference which took place in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. We had a lovely stay at the historic Red Lion Inn and were surprised to find this familiar face in our room.
It’s an American folk portrait of Mary Jane Smith by nearby Springfield MA resident, Joseph Whiting Stock, and we have our very own copy of it in our living room!
Happily we learned that Mary Jane Smith has a companion painting by John Brewster of Buxton, Maine. It’s appropriately titled, “Boy with Finch”. (I secretly think they’re siblings.)
That evening we enjoyed a wonderful meal at the The Lion’s Den…
…and the two portraits watched over us while we slept.
Campton House Has Sold
So, that was quick. 11 hours to be exact.
And now we’re gonna need to find somewhere else to live…
How ’bout Keene NH?
FSBO in Campton NH
I have truly loved living in the New Hampshire’s White Mountains. Truly. For peaceful isolation and rural living that’s full of interesting people, the North Country is hard to beat.
But after nearly 5 years in Campton, it’s time for us to move on. It’s a bittersweet change.
We’ll always have the memories. And the listing photos.
4th Spring Coal Mountain Jeep Jamboree
So this is our FIFTH Jamboree?!?!?
Well, what better way to test Ruby Jean’s new upgrades than a series of intense rock gardens and the famous “Roller Coaster” (which was more like a slip-n-slide after a night of rain?
As always, we learned lots of new things, but it is the people that make these events so freakin’ wonderful!
