Guests can sit at bright red picnic tables in the back area and enjoy a picnic lunch while listening to the live music (country, bluegrass bands, etc.) or take your children’s photo (don’t forget your camera!) near the farm tractor.

Once the wagon arrives, hop on for a fun ride to the orchard. Signs are posted throughout the orchard to let you know where your favorite apples are available for picking.

Once you have your apples, hop back on the wagon for a ride to the country store. If you see a line of eager people waiting to place an order, you know you have arrived at the cider doughnut area.

Watch while the Meadow Ledge crew makes your cider doughnuts right in front of you; enjoy them hot while sitting outside as you listen to the live music.

The country store sells baked goods, apple crisp ice cream, apple pies, crafts, jams and jellies, and a lot more. Cider doughnuts are made and sold on weekends and the orchard is open seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. until

“Good apple pies are a considerable part of our domestic happiness.”

— Jane Austen Surely author Jane Austen knew what she was talking about when she spoke of apple pie. Domestic happiness, then as today, often centers on food. And what better food than an apple, which in turn adds the flavor and spice to the pie and other foods?

This is the time of year when apple orchard owners throw open their doors and invite an eager public to pick apples all over the Lakes Region and beyond.

Farmers have been lovingly tending and watching their apple trees for months; last year’s harsh and very cold winter has caused a later season in many crops this summer and apples are no exception.

The good news is that the apples are now ready for picking and families can enjoy an afternoon at an orchard where not only apple-picking is fun, but there are wagon rides to the orchards, live music, cider doughnuts, baked goods, and more!

A New Hampshire favorite (just voted in a consumer poll as the coveted number two most popular apple orchard in New Hampshire by WMUR/Channel 9), Meadow Ledge Farm at 612 Route 129 in Loudon has a huge variety of apples now available.

Meadow Ledge has about 25 acres of orchards and offers Macintosh, Macouns, Jonamacs, Ozark Gold, Cortlands, Ginger Gold, Fujis, Crabapples, Honeycrisp, Liberties, and other varieties. A number of varieties are available as pick-yourown options in the orchards and most are for sale in the country store on the premises.

A Weekend Walk

By Kathi Hopper This is the time of year to get outside and enjoy a walk in the woods. The foliage has begun to turn and the trees everywhere are starting to take on a red, gold, or yellow coloration. The nip in the air makes it a very comfortable time of year to enjoy a walk.

I have loved to wander through the woods and on back roads since I was growing up in rural Bristol. Give me a wooded path, a stream, or a river, and a few hours of solitude, and I am ready to face anything. Thus, when I stumbled upon the hiking area at Ramblin’ Vewe Farm in Gilford (off Morrill Street), I was quite happy to set aside an hour to take to the wooded trail.

According to the farm’s website ( w w w. r a m b l i n v e w e f a r m . o r g ) , “Ramblin’ Vewe Farm Trust is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization whose mission is to protect and preserve Ramblin’ Vewe Farm, conserve the heritage of working farms and rural

landscapes, foster educational and recreational activities and create trails to connect people, communities and the land.”

Ramblin’ Vewe Farm has been in operation since 1987 with Suffolk and Targhee sheep herds. About 245 acres of the property have been saved for forestry and recreational purposes.

I have enjoyed the scenic beauty of the property for years; driving on Morrill Street past the farm is a joy, especially when the sheep are in the fields and the trees are ablaze with autumn color.

Those interested in hiking the trail can take Morrill Street and, at the end of the field, you will see a side road, called Boyd Hill Road (it is sort of hidden, so slow down and watch for it!). The dirt road is narrow and follows the far edge of the farm’s field; at the end of the road you will find a spacious parking lot with a helpful information kiosk near the start of the trail.

Ramblin' Vewe Farm offers some great fall hiking. (Photo: Kathi Hopper) The day I hiked the trail, my 23-yearold daughter, Megan, was with me, and she wisely took a cell phone picture of

• Day Tripping Continued from page 5 the kiosk map. The trail is well-marked, so we never worried about getting lost, but the phone photo was helpful to refer to while hiking.

We decided to take the Farm Vewe Hilltop Trail (the blue trail) and began the hike at a sedate pace on a path that looked like an old logging road. The foliage was just beginning to come out and, as we walked deeper into the woods, it was very peaceful and pretty.

There was a slight incline as we walked on and the blue markers were helpful; soon we emerged at the edge of the fields and spied a small animal (perhaps a muskrat?) dodging under an old farm building. It was quiet and scenic with nice views of the field and

we stopped to take photos.

Continuing on the blue trail, we headed into the deep woods and I was admittedly a bit skeptical of continuing on the path because I could see it was going to get very steep, very quickly!

Megan just laughed and said we could walk slowly and stop to rest, which was helpful due to the steep incline.

I was glad I tackled the trail as we hiked upward; old, gnarled trees and stone walls spoke of the history of the property and created a step-back-intime atmosphere. I wondered who had once marked this land with stone wall boundaries and trampled through the densely forested places. Perhaps some long-gone settler determined to stake out his claim and raise a family on this land?

By the time we reached the upper

Empty Walls?

We have just what you have been looking for...

portion of the trail, we had conquered two very steep hill paths. Intrepid Megan raced on ahead to “see what’s is up around the bend” and I soldiered on a bit behind her.

“Here’s the scenic lookout,” she called from the top of the hill. Indeed, the huffing and puffing hike up, up, up was well worth it when I reached the pinnacle and took in the beautiful view.

Distant mountains stretched out before me, all tinged with foliage on the warm, early fall day. We sat on the stone wall and took some photos while we caught our breath.

It was very quiet and peaceful at the spot and conversation seemed unnecessary. I was still thinking about the history of the area and the old trails and wondering who might once have passed this way.

Megan, however, was checking out a huge old tree with welcoming branches.

She had a “just-gotta-climb-this-tree” look in her eye and I cautioned her to keep her feet on the ground and out of the old tree. It was a sprawling, huge tree, probably well over 100 years of age, and I didn’t want to risk damaging its branches in any way.

In places, there were private property signs; I would urge hikers to respect the adjacent private acreage. Stay to the marked trails and you will find a lot to enjoy in this heavily forested, natural area.

Because we were hiking in late afternoon and the sun sets earlier now that autumn is upon us, we decided to walk back the same way we came, which took a mere 15 minutes, rather

than do further trail explorations. (It is, indeed, always quicker to walk down a hill than up a hill!)

However, there are other trails to explore and I am sure we will return.

For example, there is Moose Alley, Betty and Dick’s Loop, the Ridge Trail, the Pond Trail, old Rope Tow, and more.

It is a great place for summer and fall hiking, but as an avid snowshoe enthusiast, I was thinking it would be a great place in the winter, too. Also allowed on the trails are horseback riding and bicycling. Visitors may bring their canine companions, but make sure dogs are leashed and any waste is removed.

We met few people on the hike but it was, after all, late afternoon. One mountain biker did pass us and said hello; and, as we were getting into our car, a grandfather and grandchildren were getting ready to take to the trail.

While our wooded walk took only an hour or so, I was well satisfied. I had explored a new woodsy area, seen some great views, got a bit of exercise, and had a chance to relax and dream about who may have settled the area more than 100 years ago.

For those who find themselves with an hour or more at their disposal and wish to get out in the crisp, clean, autumn air, Ramblin’ Vewe Farm trails may be just the thing!

LRCT Offers Free Hike to Red Hill and Eagle Cliff The Lakes Region Conservation Trust (LRCT) will offer a guided hike in the Red Hill Conservation Area in Moultonborough and Sandwich on Saturday, Oct. 4, departing at 9 a.m.

BoDeans and Los Lonely Boys Coming To Plymouth The Flying Monkey Performance Center in Plymouth will welcome The BoDeans to its stage for the first time on Friday, Oct. 3, at 7:30 p.m. Then, on Saturday, Oct. 4, Los Lonely Boys will make their debut on the Monkey stage.

“I’ve always thought of the BoDeans as a truly American band,” said Kurt Neumann, the founder and front man of the Milwaukeebased group. “We were blue-collar kids straight out of the heartland; how could we be anything else?

‘Roots rock’ was a label I fought when I was younger but I came to realize that, if by ‘roots’, you meant blues, rock, country, and soul all slammed together into one sound, then I’d say, yes — that is the sound of American-made music.”

Thanks to Neumann’s renewed passion and determination, the BoDeans are still going strong long after their debut album led them to win a Rolling Stone readers’ poll as “Best New American Band” and nearly 20 years after their “Closer to Free” became a massive hit.

BoDeans continue to tour the U.S. year-round, performing heartfelt, trend-free, American-made music.

Los Lonely Boys — Henry, JoJo, and Ringo, the Garza brothers from

San Angelo — grew up playing music with their father and had a massive hit their first time out of the gate with “Heaven” — a soulful ballad crystallizing their “Texican rock-and roll” sound.

Although the Garzas never quite reached such lofty chart heights on their subsequent releases, their power-trio structure recalled past greats like Cream, the Jimi Hendrix Experience, and Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble, so they quickly won a loyal following among guitar geeks with a taste for Texas blues, a sizable fan base they retain to this day (especially in the Southwest). At the same time, playing up their Latin roots placed them as natural heirs to the Santana/ Los Lobos tradition.

“We are excited to bring two bands of this caliber to Plymouth on the same weekend,” said Seth McNally of the Flying Monkey.

“The BoDeans have produced so many great rock songs that have become standards … and Los Lonely Boys have such a powerful live show. We are looking forward to an exciting weekend of allAmerican rock music.”

For tickets and information, visit www.flyingmonkeynh.com or call 603-536-2551.

The approximately five-mile, moderate-to-strenuous hike will follow the Fire Tower and Eagle Cliff trails.

Participants will view historic sites of interest along the way, learn to identify signs of wildlife, and explore a beautiful part of the conserved landscape with lead guide John Oliver, LRCT property adopter for the Red Hill Conservation Area.

LRCT owns 2,650 acres of land on Red Hill which has been noted since the 19th century for its panoramic views of Winnipesaukee, Squam, and the White Mountains.

Historical records show that the Cook family of Massachusetts settled there in 1788. Under their stewardship, the land was farmed and pastured, and

they welcomed visitors who climbed the summit to enjoy one of the most beautiful views in New England.

Timothy Dwight, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Herman Melville, and Henry David Thoreau were among the many who visited the mountain and praised its view. Today Red Hill is one of the major conservation landmarks and most popular family hikes in the Lakes Region.

The hike will depart at 9 a.m. and return at approximately 3 p.m.

Participants will need to arrive by 8:45 a.m. to have time to check in and prepare for the hike. The number of participants will be limited; preregistration is required at lrct@lrct.org or 603-253-3301. There is no cost to participate.

Interlakes Summer Theatre To Present ‘Sing Happy’ The Interlakes Summer Theatre will offer a fall show, “Sing Happy: The World of Kander & Ebb”, on Saturday, Oct. 4, at 7 p.m. and on Sunday, Oct. 5, at 3 p.m..

The show will feature the music of John Kander and Fred Ebb who wrote many shows, including “Cabaret” and “Chicago”. Singers will include Nancy Barry, the company’s producing artistic director, and Interlakes favorites Ellie Kahn, Kelliann DiCarlo, Charles Baran, and Kenney Green, along with newcomers Jenna Perez and Thaddeus Henry.

“Our musical director, A. Michael Tilford, and choreographer David Beris, both always wanted to write a

Kander and Ebb show,” said Nancy Barry, “so I said, ‘Let’s do it!’. We plan to book the show in New York City, but will perform it here for our Meredith audience first.”

Nancy is headed to New York for rehearsals and the group will travel up for the show a few days before to rehearse at the Inter-Lakes Auditorium where the show will take place.

“Everyone is pretty excited because we all really loved working with each other this summer, and this keeps us connected.”

For tickets and information, call 888245-6374 or visit interlakestheatre. com. Tickets will be available at the door.

Golf Tournament To Provide Food Assistance A nonprofit group organized in 2011 will sponsor a golf tournament in late October that will raise money to provide food to students in Wolfeboro, Ossipee, and Tuftonboro.

End 68 Hours of Hunger will hold the nine-hole golf tournament at the Indian Mound Golf Club on Route 16B in Center Ossipee on Saturday, Oct. 25, at 5:30 p.m.

Claire Bloom spearheaded the creation of End 68 Hours of Hunger in her hometown of Dover in 2011, recognizing that many youths go hungry between school lunches on Fridays and the breakfasts that schools provide on Mondays. Since its creation, the organization has expanded its reach to other towns in New Hampshire and Maine, providing food to 1,000

children in the past year.

According to Tournament Director Corky Newcomb, there are 30 students between the ages of six and 11 in Ossipee, Tuftonboro, and Wolfeboro who go without food during those 68 hours each week. The allvolunteer group’s Oct. 25 event will raise money to help them, with 100 percent of the funds going to purchase food.

Experts say that children cannot learn and succeed if they are hungry.

damage that can last a lifetime.

“These children need proper and continuing nutrition to help their brains and their bodies develop to their full potential,” said Program Coordinator Sally Humer. “Whatever the issues are at home, it is not the

children’s fault.”

With the money raised, volunteers will put food into bags on Thursdays and take them to the schools’ guidance departments for distribution to the children.

The fundraiser will be the first tournament to feature Newcomb’s Nite4Life™ glow-in-the-dark golf balls, the newest version of the NiteLite™ golf ball he invented and has been producing in Tuftonboro since 1985. The glowing balls allow golfers to play at night. Among those who have tested and endorsed the Nite4Life™

golf ball are Jonathan Rivers, director of golf at Indian Mound; Paul Tessier, head golf pro at Bald Peak Colony Club in Moultonborough; Justin Barkley, head golf pro at Waukewan Golf Club in Center Harbor; Todd McKittrick, head golf pro at Manchester Country Club; Gordon Swennes, head golf pro at Wentworth By The Sea Country Club in Rye; and Kevin Bullard, two-time winner of the Remax Long Drive Championship, who drove the Nite4Life™ 400 yards.

The cost of the tournament includes Nite4Life™ golf balls, a golf cart, and lighted accessories. Tee time is 5:30 p.m. A closest-to-the-pin contest and putting contests will take place prior to tee-off and trophies and prizes will be awarded.

Those who do not play golf, but would like to help, are encouraged to contribute to End 68 Hours of Hunger, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, by sending checks to: Sally Humer, End 68 Hours of Hunger, PO Box 1026, Wolfeboro Fall NH 03896. For more information, call Humer at 603-5151707.

The band released its first DVD and CD, “Laurel & Sunset”, in 2012, followed in 2013 by “North & Prospect.”

Naughton feeds heavily on Motown and soul while Brian is a fan of alternative bands and rhythm and blue.

Rich loves Paul Simon, James Taylor, and John Mayer. All share a mutual affection for the super-groups of the ’70s.

“For the most part, the Sweet Remains is about having a good time hanging out with friends on the back porch, if you will,” Naughton said.

“Most frequently, one of us will bring something to the table once it’s mostly been written. Then we’ll polish it up together and arrange the harmonies and such….”

A musical blend and kinship overcame geography and solo careers when Rich Price, Greg Naughton, and Brian Chartrand met for a chance jam session. The result was the Sweet Remains, a charismatic trio that will perform in the Smith Recital Hall at Plymouth State University’s Silver Center on Friday, Oct. 3, at 8 p.m.

The Sweet Remains is an unusual band on today’s music scene, headed by three gifted singer-songwriters, each of whom contributes to the writing and three-part harmonies that define the band’s sound.

Driven by strong lyrical and melodic writing, their songs appeal to fans of modern folk-rockers like Jason Mraz, Ray Lamontagne, and John Mayer.

However, it is their lush harmonies that distinguish the Sweet Remains from the pack, as they harken back to the ’60s and ’70s groups like Crosby, Stills, and Nash, the Eagles, and Simon

‘Wish You Were Here’: Collecting Old Postcards

By Kathi Caldwell-Hopper Imagine holding a bit of history in your hand. Further imagine glimpsing what the Lakes Region looked like more than 100 years ago in images ranging from lake transportation to main street scenes of towns such as Wolfeboro and Weirs Beach.

The charm of old postcards leads many people to begin a collection.

It might start with just one or two postcards purchased at a yard sale because the cards depict a scene of your hometown in days past. Or there might be an intriguing, handwritten message on the back of the card; the message might even be the tried and true “Wish You Were Here” sentiment along with a touristy scene.

Whatever the reason, many people are collecting old postcards. When Wolfeboro residents David Bowers and his wife, Christie, began collecting postcards, they probably had no idea what they were starting. The Wolfeboro couple recently donated their collection

SINCE 1928

of thousands of antique postcards to the Wolfeboro Public Library. The collection is being catalogued and will be available to anyone to view.

“We began collecting postcards in 1979,” David said. “We collected cards from all New Hampshire towns. We

TRADING POST BEAR SHOWS • TRAIN RIDES AND WOLFMAN! CIRCUS ACTS • MUSEUMS • GIFT SHOPS •

LINCOLN, NH • 603-745-8913 • CLARKSTRADINGPOST.COM

went to postcard collectors’ shows and other places to build the collection.”

That collection is amazing and represents a slice of American/New Hampshire history that many find fascinating. Where else can you see long-forgotten scenes of rural roads, town squares, businesses, and other images of how New Hampshire’s main streets and back roads once looked?

“There seemed to be two reasons to send postcards in the old days,” David said. “The first was to send a message to someone; most postcards were deliverable overnight so it was a quick way to get a message to someone before telephones were invented. You could advertise something or send a message to meet at a certain spot the next day.

“The other reasons was to send a card to friends and family back home to show where you were traveling or vacationing. For example, there are a lot of GAR Weirs Beach area postcards.

Veterans would send a postcard while at the Weirs on vacation with the ‘Wish You Were Here’ type message.”

Historically, postcards became popular around 1898 when Americans began to embrace the idea of vacationing. Train service meant Americans could more easily move from place to place; what better way to share your travels with those back home than with an inexpensive postcard that depicted your vacation spot?

Sometimes the messages on the back of postcards are as charming or entertaining as the cards themselves.

The messages also teach a bit about our history — how people spoke and wrote and the beauty of old cursive handwriting. The messages on the cards were about as far from our modern-day emails, texting, and abbreviated writing as one could get; but the human-nature meaning is age-old and has not really changed. Sometimes a “meet me at the same location” or “Lizzie arrives today — wish she wasn’t coming” type handwritten messages on postcards is as familiar as today’s mode of texting or emailing to a friend!

When collecting postcards of New Hampshire scenes, David says people will find many Wolfeboro images.

That is because the town was a tourist destination, even in the old days, and the waterfront and main street areas were photogenic. “There are many really nice images of Wolfeboro on postcards, and indeed, all the Lake Winnipesaukee towns,” he said.

• Postcards Continued from page 18 old cars, you will find a lot to like about collecting antique postcards. There are many that depict specific subjects, such as antique autos, dogs, boating, rural scenes, and the mountains. “The cards are truly a reflection of America and most are in color. The black-and-white photos were hand-tinted in bright colors,” David noted.

David’s favorite postcards are those of Wolfeboro’s commercial scenes.

Because he is a long-time resident of Wolfeboro, he is attracted to scenes of the commercial areas of the town in days gone by. “The more details, the better,” he said when explaining what makes an old postcard interesting to him. He is less interested in scenes of rural areas or forest glades, although he says there are very beautiful images that are worth collecting as well.

When starting to collect, David suggests taking it slowly. Be aware that the most common postcards are the most worn. Scenes of Weirs Beach and

steamships on the lake, for example, are plentiful and popular and may likely be the most worn.

“Watch out for bent or trimmed corners on postcards,” David suggests.

“The best cards are readily available in antiques shops and typically cost between $2 and $5.”

David also cautions potential collectors to refrain from rushing out and buying everything at first. “Find what you like as you slowly build your collection. A good place to start is collecting postcards of your hometown or a scene you like a lot, such as a tourist spot.”

Cards can be protected with hard or thin plastic covers and stored in shoeboxes that are just the right size for postcards and are a very easy and inexpensive manner of keeping a card collection viewable and protected.

With their collection complete, they wished to share the cards with the public, which led to their giving the entire collection to the Wolfeboro Public Library.

“I have a collector’s mentality,” David laughed. “I love New Hampshire and Wolfeboro and the state’s rich history. There are so many postcard images of New Hampshire scenes and such a history in the state, such as the once-popular grand hotels. There were once more than 100 hotels around the lake and many are depicted on old postcards.”

Other areas, such as Newfound Lake, also are rich in postcard scenes and subject matter. The idea of collecting postcards with scenes of each lake in New Hampshire might be a great place to begin a postcard collection.

“There are lots of postcards with scenes of Weirs Beach, Alton, and Wolfeboro; there are not so many of towns such as Tuftonboro and Moultonborough because they did not

have waterfront tourist areas,” David explained when asked what collectors might expect to find as they build a group of cards around a lake or town theme.

For those who want to view some wonderful old postcards from David and Christie’s collection, head to Cornerstone Christian Academy at 129 Route 28 in Ossipee. A fascinating exhibit is taking place in the school’s Gridley Gallery at the entrance to the school grounds and it runs until the beginning of November.

Says school headmaster Barbara Wilson, “Our gallery is a way for our students to gain exposure to art. Right now, our middle school students are working on a year-long project called American Perspective. It focuses on the Civil War era and we thought it would be interesting for them to see what vacationing was like in the Lakes Region in the past.”

The exhibit indeed offers a unique American perspective of what the area and tourism were like many years ago and features select postcards from the Bowers/Wolfeboro Public Library collection. Included in the exhibit are quaint farm scenes, rural streets, towns, transportation, and the lakes, to name but a few popular subjects.

Cornerstone art teacher Andrea Bravo selected postcard images from the Bowers collection that would resonate with students and she matted the cards for the gallery exhibit. The show features about three dozen images of New Hampshire postcard scenes and some are magnified for detail. Students are finding the messages on the old postcards to be a fascinating glimpse at how people lived and wrote in the late 1800s to mid 1900s.

The exhibit also features about two dozen postcards from Cornerstone students. “As part of the project, we asked our students to send postcards from their own summer trips. We think

they learned how much fun it is to actually send or receive a postcard in the mail versus today’s more instant message world of emails and texting,” Barbara said.

She reflects that the exhibit is a great way for students and others to consider a time when sending and receiving information was not as instantaneous.

“It is fun to watch the students look at the exhibit and to see old scenes of the area as it looked long ago.”

The exhibit is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. until the beginning of November and is well worth stopping by to see.

Half-Day Vacation That Will Last a Lifetime

By Michael Travis A half-day, impromptu vacation with my daughter began on a supply run, leading to rented jet skis and ending at Piping Rock Resort in Wolfeboro. The fond memories will never end.

I’m in the business of helping people — to buy or sell a home and way more.

With our office located in the heart of downtown Wolfeboro, and the rush of summer visitors in town (and the hoards at the Bailey Bubble), people are constantly streaming through our doors to ask about things to do, places to go, people to see, restaurants to try … and asking some of the strangest questions one can imagine.

So my daughter, Mariella, decided to make her first solo road trip since graduating from high school in Rockport MA to come to Wolfeboro.

Now it was my turn to do the things I have only recommended others to do — only the pressure was on, since it involves also creating a fond memory for father and daughter.

Like any vacation plan, it started with a need for supplies, which in my case included everything: food, toothbrush, water shoes, a bathing suit, things to do, and a place to stay for the night.

First I made a reservation at Wolfeboro Jet Ski Rentals, which meant Mariella and I had to first read the 68-page Boater’s Guide of New Hampshire on the Rules of Boating.

Like any visiting New Hampshire guest without a boating license, we had to take a 25-question test to get a 14-day license. Even though I learned to drive a boat long before I learned to drive a car, I still had a lot to learn. I really do not like taking tests and my daughter has had plenty of test-taking skills gained in her senior year. Of course, all her grades began with the letter “A”.

And, yes, she did better than me.

To prepare us for the big test, we had to have her favorite brain food of Crepes at Seven Suns Coffee & Tea. Then off to Bootleggers on North Main Street where we found a good selection of water shoes at a good price.

My black leather shoes just would not suffice on the lake — and I didn’t want to look like my Dad when he went to a “Poor Taste Party” wearing lime green shorts, long brown socks, and black leather wingtips that would not be allowed at the worst public golf course.

Then we went next door to Dive Winnipesaukee for a suit and sunscreen. The cool glasses were tempting. Actually, there was a lot in there to “Must Have”.

Back to Bailey Bubble for that pre-Jet Ski soft-serve ice cream, and Hunter’s for a small stash of pretzels and water for the ride.

Now, it was facing the computer screen to take the 25-question boat licensing test. (There are 55 different versions.) First, my daughter goes. I mean, she hardly looked at the book.

She passes with flying colors. Then I take it, and I pass — no flying colors.

We get suited up in the provided

life jackets and off we went off for two hours on a speedy Jet Ski. We went past all the great landmarks on the lake, past fellow Michigan Man Mitt R o m n e y ’s three-bay boathouse, the part of the lake where the boat crash scene in On Golden P o n d was filmed, and clients’ estates on Springfield Point, Pipers Point, Sinclair Lane, Tranquility Lane, Mountain Views, Sewall Road, Rattlesnake Island, and many more.

The day was perfect. The water was smooth. The Sky was blue. The Mount Washington and the Millie B passed us.

As fast as it seemed we were going on the Jet Ski, life just seemed to slow down. After being out on the water for two hours, our smiles were wide, our feet were wet, our faces a bit more red — or in my daughter’s case, tan. I’m sure my face looked redder because my hair looked blonder (which is a way of saying that my grey hair got whiter.)

Seeing the exquisite estates that dot the shores from the water gives a whole new perspective. Being on a

small watercraft on a 44,000-acre lake surrounded by mountain views and islands humbles your existence on this piece of paradise.

Now a trip to Harvest Market for fresh food for dinner and breakfast. And off to Piping Rock Resort in Wolfeboro.

This is one of our company’s listings, handling all the rentals and many of the properties for sale. We stayed in one of the cabins with water views. We went to the groomed beach and sat as the loons started their evening calls and the sun started its evening orange glowing decent down behind the silhouetted trees in the distance.

Home cooking in our wood-paneled temporary home was oh so nice. A comfortable sleep only enhanced by the sounds of some loons. Again waking up with the smell of bacon and eggs and fresh fruit for breakfast.

My daughter then went off to continue her road trip to surprise her wonderful boyfriend who is working in Maine.

Wolfeboro, the Lakes Region — and really New Hampshire — have it all.

Things to do. Places to go. People to see. And the best that Mother Nature can provide. So much can be packed into a half-day. Living in a place people go for vacation is a year-round benefit.

I encourage you to take the time to be with each of your kids individually so they can have their own personal memory with you that will last forever; won’t you?

Now I am over 20,152 days old.

Experiencing such a lifelong memory generated by a half-day, impromptu vacation with my daughter — simply priceless.

A Sure Sign ~ The Prim House There is a new business in downtown Tilton and it offers something old and something new for a variety of customers. Those who love antiques will like the shop; those who are interested in repurposing items will find plenty in the shop; and those who enjoy woodworking or old signs will also like the Prim Home.

Located at 250 Main Street in Tilton, the Prim Home is unmistakable. Old, rustic wood is propped against the exterior of the shop and signs adorn the outside walls as well. An old, ornate fireplace mantel has found new life as a unique sign with a piece of chalkboard

fit into the center opening — proving that any item, with the proper vision, can become something new and useful to avoid the landfill.

The shop is a wonderful, eclectic mixture of sign-making and woodworking studio, wood storage spot and retail area, with an entire wall displaying handmade, rustic wooden signs.

These days, old signs are highly collectible and they are very popular with homeowners, antique shoppers, and others. That is very good news for Jesse and Nikki Lacasse, the owners of the Prim Home. “The signs are a

fantastic niche product,” says Jesse as he puts the finishing touches on the hand-painted lettering for a rustic, wooden sign.

Jesse runs the shop and says he is almost always on the premises, working on a new project or finishing up a sign for a customer.

“I did not have a background in making signs before this,” he says.

“I was building websites and doing photography. But I always liked woodworking and I had a shed in our backyard where I started making town signs.”

By town signs, Jesse is referring to medium-sized, attractive wooden signs with the name of a town and the year the community was established. It is clear why those signs are an immediate hit with customers: We all have a town we hold dear and the clever signs can be made to please customers with the name and date of any town.

Jesse’s wife is the manager of the Amish Country Barn shop and she asked Jesse to try selling a few town signs in the shop. They sold well and soon she was asking Jesse to make more.

Realizing this was a way to make extra money and have fun at the same time, Jesse decided to take a booth in a few New Hampshire fairs and he found that fair-goers loved the signs. “Last year was my first year in business and I made about 200 town signs. I get a lot of special orders. And I was busy until January completing orders I got from last autumn’s fairs.”

The Prim Home opened in Tilton this past winter and Jesse is still organizing the shop and finding his way around the new space. He certainly has a large supply of old boards that eventually will be repurposed into signs to adorn any home.

“I see signs that inspire me or a piece of wood that inspires me. I usually fit the sign to the piece of wood. I do a lot of special orders and most of my customers leave it up to me to choose the wood for their sign,” he says.

The lettering on the signs is usually done with stencils to keep the prices reasonable. (Jesse sometimes handletters a sign but the price for the finished sign is higher due to the extra

“All the signs are made from recycled barn boards or wood from home remodeling jobs. A lot of the wood I use has been given to me. It helps me and the homeowners, because they don’t have to pay to have old wood hauled away. If someone has wood they would like to recycle, I would like to hear from them,” Jesse said. (He will pick up the wood he wants but does not pay for wood — this is a great way for homeowners to get rid of unwanted wood without having to take it to the transfer station.)

Each sign is a personal work of art and some are the result of a lot of time and artistic skill, such as the “fish” sign hanging over the front door of the shop. Jesse hand-painted and lettered the sign, which sports a large fish with the wording “New Hampshire Rod & Reel Club Founded 1876”. A sign such as this would fit wonderfully in a sportsman’s home or a fishing club recreation hall.

Jesse says the most popular signs among all those he creates are the town signs and second most popular are custom-made signs with a family’s name, which are often given as wedding gifts.

“People like nostalgic things, and that it what makes the signs popular,” he comments. “What was old is new again, such as something that a person loves because is reminds them of something their grandmother once owned. The signs appeal to 35- to

50-year-olds with a nostalgic mindset.”

Jesse and Nikki are very familiar with antiques, having previously run a combination sign and antiques shop in the “antique alley” area in Chichester/ Northwood. A knowledge of decorating with and collecting old things has helped Jesse’s sign business. He knows old typefaces, paint styles … and always, old wood that he transforms into eclectic, wonderful signs.

The shop also features shelves and a few small antiques for sale. In addition, Jesse repairs antique clocks.

Some of the signs made by Jesse sport such wording as Laundry Room, Beer Snob, Stables, Tavern, Bat Lodge, Suncook River, Bat Cave, Livery, Winnipesaukee, and Welcome, to name but a few. Custom-order signs sport all kinds of typefaces, colors, and types of wood, although Jesse’s favorite wood seems to be old barn boards.

Now and then, the signs take on a different style with burlap trim or a special shape such as a charming sign in the shape of a cow.

Those who love old signs and old wood are sure to love the Prim Home in Tilton. Jesse encourages anyone and everyone to stop by and shop for a sign or perhaps discuss having a custom sign made for a home. (Some signs can be placed outside but most are made for indoor décor.)

The new business in downtown Tilton is a sure sign that repurposing old things is alive and well, Call the Prim Home at 603-848-4038 or visit www. facebook.com/myprimitiveaddiction.
