  1. pastpeter – Sometime Senior Scientist, sometime Senior Pastor, now senior citizen, happily retired and living once again on Long Island, New York – the place people always want to leave but always come back to. Our retirement years have taken Marian and me to mid-coast Maine (A Maine Winter), to the New Hampshire Lakes region (A New Hampshire Journal), and then back to Long Island, where we had spent the 17 “best years of our lives” (Past Pastoring). We loved the north country, but are so glad to be “Home” (Long Islanders).

    I suspect you spend as much time sitting and thinking as I do…

    1. I just might Peter. It’s one of my favorite pass times – and how could you not in this beautiful setting?

        It’s a great spot. You have created a number of them, I think. As health declines for Marian and me, we have much to sit and think about these days. But with our sons both in Brooklyn, one married and the other running his own business, we have a good family feeling. Hope you are well and actively engaged in the world of the Upper Valley! We miss NH, but family and friends here compensate.

      2. Thanks Peter. It is so good to have family nearby. I am near my folks and it is a blessing for all of us. Some health issues have plagued me this year – broken bones and worn out joints. So there has been more time to sit than I usually like. But to sit inside all of this glorious nature makes it better. When I’m sitting and thinking about nothing – that’s when God sneaks in most often. Take good care of yourself and each other. Very Best, Catherine
