"Foggy morning. Today at 7 am"
Now is the time for all good friends to be together again… albeit cautiously.
(Those of us of a certain age, recall another such rhyme, equally apropos for the times we’re in … “Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country” … as we all first practiced on typewriter keys, a generation before there was a cell phone in every hand.)
New Hampshire’s summer is in full bloom and we are deeply grateful for this return to favorite places and pastimes, family and friends reunions and especially to the thousands of first responders, medical personnel, essential workers and caring neighbors who came to our aid in recent times. We, in the relatively safe bubble of New England in the pandemic, are exceedingly fortunate with low COVID cases and very high vaccination rates. Let’s embrace summertime… be careful and forever be kind to one another.

Music has returned to community bandstands all around the Lake. … bring your picnic & blanket... and enjoy the music.
Tonight @ 6:30 in Sunapee it’s “Elton meets Eric”… or rather, Bill Wightman meets Cliff Clegg and then joins Jody Bregler on drums will perform jazz and rock covers with their own unique twist. Dynamic. Funky. Cool.
