This time every year, three of my good friends and I take a shopping trip to North Conway, New Hampshire. We have been doing this since our children grew up and left home. The day includes looking at whatever we want, and a leisurely lunch at a nice place.
So, yesterday, we left southern Maine early in the morning, and headed west, across the mountains. The weather was clear and beautiful. It was in the high 40’s, and so still that the ponds and even the Saco River, when we passed looked like they were made of glass.
When we got to North Conway village, we could see activity up on Mt. Washington. The clouds hung around the top of the mountain all day, and I think there must have been snow showers going on. I know that they were predicted for the higher elevations. Meanwhile, we were under a bright sunny sky, with just of few of those big, white fluffy clouds that look so good in photos. The wind did pick in the afternoon, but the temperature didn’t drop.

More about our lady’s day out tomorrow.
