Happy Easter!
Just want to wish anyone happening to find this blog a happy Easter!
Our family gathering took place in the backwoods of Northwood, NH. When I say backwoods, I mean it! The driveway to get to this house is at least one mile long, 100% dirt (or, this time of year, mud!), and assailable by 4WD-type vehicles only. Many a car has gotten stuck trying to get down the driveway, as have the tow trucks called to retrieve them! We parked our car near the very beginning, strapped on our boots, and (after failing to get a cellphone signal to use in order to call them for a ride) trudged through the mud and snow to get there.
The relative we visited has four dogs. Well, not quite that; more like one dog, and three small farm animals! ;) One chocolate lab, two Saint Bernards, and one Newfoundland. During hunting season, they have to be outfitted in orange clothing, or the hunters in the area might mistake them for deer! The drool flowed freely from their mouths, and when one of the big three started barking, the other two shortly followed. In spite of the slobber and barking, they're very nice dogs. Part of their basement was built with the big three in mind; the coatroom has a ramp leading to an area with a tub, and a large custom-built doggy door to let them out into the fenced portion of the backyard.
All in all, we had a great time, and look forward to going back there for Thanksgiving (hopefully, with better cell phone reception next time). Hope a great Easter was had by all.
