I caught a lucky break at work, and the cancelled part of my vacation has been restored. I'll therefore be flying back to New Hampshire tomorrow afternoon and won't return to Virginia for about ten days. As usual when in NH, my visits to this site will be infrequent - pretty much limited to those evenings when I get to the town library.
One neat thing: I am actively pursuing a large property purchase. There are some issues I need to work out, but if I get them worked out, I may just return owning what will one day be a farm.
Keep your fingers crossed, please. It's a gorgeous piece of land. No exaggeration.
