New Hampshire is a beautiful state, I had no idea. When I drove Izzy to sleepaway camp I used Waze to get there from our house. The app took us on the most incredible drive. From our home in Massachusetts, up thru a corner of Vermont then across New Hampshire. The camp Izzy is attending is near the border of New Hampshire and Maine. When we entered New Hampshire I was so grateful that it was a day drive so I could take it all in. The state is so green and lush, gently rolling hills, endless ponds, streams and lakes. Lovely. Feels very fresh. I am only speaking for myself here, but I feel a tension there as well. The state motto is “Live Free or Die” and it’s considered a “swing state”. Some years leaning into Republican candidates and other years leaning into Democrats. For me, it’s almost as if I could feel the environment pulling back and forth like a tug of war match. I find it an intriguing place. I’m curious to explore more of it. I exclaimed “wow” many times while winding thru woods, the wilderness taking my breath away.

Lou met up with us at a family resort so we could have a little family time with Izzy before sending her off for two whole weeks. We talked all about camp drop off and the lead up to it on our most recent podcast episode. Won’t you be so kind and have a listen?

Thanks for being a part of our world!

love,

Adelle
