Amelia is on a roof here today working. This is Bread Loaf and there were a bunch of these huge yellow buildings.

The kids are here! We met the Bike and Build Group at the bike shop in Green Mountain. They raised $5000.00 minimum and they ride several days, then stop to help with affordable housing. They started in Portsmith and will ride all the way to Bellingham, WA.

I found a short cut to the grocery store. We had to cross a suspension bridge. Stephen is bouncing the bridge while I try to take a picture.

We are at an AirBnB so we bought a nice looking piece of cod, asparagus, potato, pepper and garlic, etc and roasted the veggies, plopped the cod on top with lemon and a bit of oil and baked 20 minutes and it was delicious. Should have taken a picture!

Deb and Bella, our AirBnB hosts
