What a wonderful journey we have experienced! We left home four weeks ago and traveled by car across the country to visit our former home in Glen New Hampshire. I wondered how it would feel to "go back" -- knowing that you cannot go home again. At first it was strange -- it really felt so normal and the main thing that was different was staying across the road from our home. But after a few days of seeing friends, note I did not say "old" friends and having some good visits, we relaxed and just enjoyed being there.
The trees were very cooperative. We got to see the early red leaves and progressed through the hot pink, orange, yellow in every shade possible. It rained a couple of days but that did not bother us much. So many friends had us to eat and we soon discovered that sticking to our "diet" was an impossible task.
Mid way we met some boyhood friends of Felt's and spent part of the week with them, going to the fair, shopping and then traveling to Boothbay Harbor to spend a couple of nights on a yacht and crusing the bay area. The yacht belongs to Sam and Cathy Haynes, and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience of luxury living.

On our way back home we stopped to visit with friends serving a mission in New York at Palmyra and spent the night in the Martin Harris home. Now that is something not many folks have done.
But now we are home and loving being here. Everyone has been so welcoming and glad to see us. Rather like we were treated in New Hampshire. So far the weather is good. Not as cool as NH-- we know it is coming but right now we are loving the fall weather.
