Like father, like ....

Like father, like ... daughter. I'm pleased to discover that I have been an inspiration to our "older" daughter, still our little girl, even though a grown woman.

She writes that this blog will be about her home, New Hampshire, a state that we also called home for 19 years. Betty and her sister Susan went through the Salem, NH school system from first grade through high school, and both attended college in New Hampshire as well.

We live in Key West, FL now, refugees from the ice and snow, but we still say that we go "home" to visit family in New England. We moved to Salem in April of 1966 when Betty was 2-1/2 and a few months before her sister Susan was born. We left in 1984 as Susan was beginning her studies at Plymouth State College.

As Betty says, I've been writing a web log about Key West I began it in 2002, as we were getting ready to leave the island for the first time. We moved here in 1999, January, stayed until May of 2002, then moved back to New Hampshire again and remained there until May of 2004 when we returned here for a second turn at Key West.

We have many fond memories of our time in New Hampshire (mostly between May and November), and some not so fond memories of things like blizzards, freezing temps, and occasional floods in the basement of our first home on Millville Street.

We'll try to take a lead from Betty here and to offer another perspective on the things she wants to write about. So have it it Betty. I'll jump in whenever it seems right to do so.
