the best way to ward off triskaidekaphobia is to ignore it, so mom and i ventured across the border to north conway, nh, for sightseeing and sustenance. we lamented the loss of the old man on the mountain and gasped at the oodles of snow still on top. the town was bustling due to early warm spring temps and a waning winter that was nowhere to be found. we checked out empty storefronts and headed for a yummy burger haven...no, not a fast food one! mom and dad spent their honeymoon in north conway all those years ago and often revisited and rekindled. with dad gone now, mom and i make the trip once or twice yearly so she can recall those special memories. i am blessed to be able to do this for her. the only challenge was several spots where construction is in full swing and had to dodge the orange cones. and i was good...avoided 2 whole quilt shops!
You are a better woman than I would be! I would have stopped at one shop, at least! But then, my Mom is a quilter and she may have made me stop at both! Good of you to do this for your Mom. : )
ReplyDeleteI love the Conway area, while I didn't honeymoon there it was a place my husband and I often visited while dating. We actually spent our 25th at the old Mt Washington Hotel, a dream come true! Hope my children are as thoughtful as you and are willing to take me back there when I can't get there myself and stop at the quilt shops.
