Josie's Weekend.

Since Josie was at the YW camp on her birthday, yesterday (Saturday) was set aside as "Josie's Day". She chose for us to go to lunch at her favourite restaurant, La Carreta. It's a Mexican restaurant in nearby Manchester. Later on we drove to the Ellacoya State Park. It's a public recreation area located on the southwest shore of Lake Winnipesaukee in Gilford, New Hampshire. The state park has 600 feet (183m) of beachfront, swimming, boating, picnicking, and campground. It was a very hot day and apparently the beach area would have wall to wall people during the day, it's a very popular spot. We went in the late afternoon. The water was not cold but refreshing. Quite shallow in most of the cordoned off areas where boats etc are not allowed. The town of Laconia is also on the lake and I thought it was a really lovely town. The whole area is very pretty. In fact all of New Hampshire is very pretty.

Today we went to church and later we had a birthday dinner for Josie. Keith's mum Dotty joined us. She is looking a little frail and hasn't been really well, but it was nice to see her again.Read more
