“Raindrops keep falling on my plants.” | |
Writing this missive on an unseasonably cold and rainy morning, it a sobering reminder that summer days are numbered and we’ll soon 'turn the corner’ to Fall. Surely there will be more sunny blue skies, and lake swims, fair sailing winds, and picnics as we move on to the sublime pleasures of September in the greater Sunapee region before Mother Nature paints the forest red and gold. | |

Loretta Lynn Morgan was born to make music.
Barely a teenager when she made her first impression on country music fans, Lorrie became one of the youngest performers to have made their debut at the Grand Ole Opry—alongside her father, the late country singer George Morgan.
Today, the Grammy-nominated singer is a modern woman making country music history. She continues to walk the path established by female country music trailblazers such as Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, and Tammy Wynette. Learn More
