When I moved her in January they told me the best three things about NH are June, July, & August. That seemed funny & unbelievable back then but now I have to agree. I have finally thawed out from the winter & begun to enjoy all the wonderful flies & mosquitoes. You don't have the oppressive humidity of Washington DC & the nights are quite cool here. There is a lot of outdoor stuff to do around here - beach, hiking, kayaking, Lake Winnipesaukee are all within 2 hours of my home, office. Fortunately, Molly has been doing better so she is able to tag along with me as she loves the outdoors.
Next week will be a few days of R&R in upstate New York. It will nice to have a few days off & Molly will come along with me of course. She is terrible at giving me directions in the car so I will just let her nap on the drive back & forth. Getting lost all the time has nothing to do with me being geographically challenged of course!

Time Flies
It seems hard to believe that it's already the middle of June. This Friday, the 15th, will be 5 months since I moved to NH. The time has gone by incredibly fast. I have been challenged & stretched way more than anticipated & learned more than I expected to in an entire year. For example, this past weekend I learned to drive an Emergency Response Vehicle (ERV), took a Psychological First Aid course yesterday, & plan to participate in a Shelter Ops & Simulation class this weekend. That means I can drive an ambulance-like vehicle to an emergency, assist in setting up a shelter, & assess you psychologically! Be afraid...be very afraid.
The grant writing continues as well. There are currently 4 in process for July deadlines. There is also the ongoing process of making plans for next year. I know that this year will lead to a number of opportunities for me. I've got 4 more months to decide though many of the application processes have to start at least a year in advance. I know that God has placed me here & He will show me where to go next...just wish He would hurry up with that!
Things continue to be busy here but I am enjoying myself. Guess the old saying is true - time flies when you're having fun!
