A visit to Chutters and the White Mountains


Chutter's is in the downtown of Littleton NH surrounded by other unique shops


Chutter's is in the Guinness book of world records for the longest candy counter in the world


Here is a shot of the candy counter, and as you can see it is the length of the building!


I discovered that they have lots of things in the store, like ass kicking everything!



Nothing says I love you more than a tiny bottle of liquid death for your wings and things!


How about some Raw Heat or 100% pain for your wings and things?




Perhaps you would prefer some Whoop Ass Steak sauce?


Hey!


Yeah you!  


So many choices.....Look!  Samples!!


What?  No kiss?  



The drive was very nice, the views as always are awesome!




Fabulous!


This past weekend, we took a drive with friends to Littleton NH.  We went to visit a place called Chutter's.  This store is in the Guinness Book of World Records for having the longest candy counter in the world.  We had a great time wandering through the store checking out all the things they had to offer.  I found the hot sauce section, and we all had a laugh at some of the names of these sauces.  I will be making another trip back to pick up a few that I saw, as it is I came home with 3 pounds of fudge and some chocolate covered peanuts!  Even though it was only 11 degrees, we managed to have a blast.  The drive took us through the White Mountains, and even though I posted only a couple of photos you can see that they are beautiful.  Andre, and I enjoy taking drives with friends, and we usually make a day of it starting with breakfast at the house, and then a day of adventure.   Hope you enjoyed the pictures, I'll post again soon!

One more step closer!




I thought I would update everyone on the progress of my book, it has been awhile since my last post.  I have done some editing, and given the publisher all the info they requested through a questionnaire, and returned it to them.  I had to give them some photo's, and write a bio, and a little blurb about the book.  I got an e-mail from the publisher letting me know that my book is now with the text dept, and they are going over it for spelling, etc.  I have not been told when they think it will be ready for everyone to enjoy, I guess I have to give it another once over before that happens.  I will of course keep everyone posted on the progress of my creation as always.  I suppose I should share a little more with you about the book itself too.  The book is titled "A Knight's Quest", it is the story of a knight, who's wife has been killed by an evil sorceress, and his infant son kidnapped.  His wife visits him in dreams, and guides him along his way as he sets off on a quest to rescue his son.  He meets others who will help him, and eventually he meets the woman who will share his destiny, and the rest of his life.  There is a dragon, and colorful characters throughout my book, and once it is available for purchase, it is my hope that everyone will enjoy reading it.  I am looking forward to having fans, and sharing lots of adventures with all of them.  I will be creating a web site as well for my books, and fans too, I want to hear what people think about my books, and any suggestions they have about future books or adventures that they would like to see more of.  I am looking forward to lots more adventures.  I have already started my second book, "A Warrior Princess", so stay tuned for this new adventure!

Happy new year!


Let me begin by wishing everyone a Happy, and prosperous New Year!  I hope that everyone had a very Merry Christmas with all your family, and friends.  Our son Nick, and his wife Amber, and our 4 Granddaughters spent Christmas in Ohio with her family.  Amber's sister Olivia was there visiting with her husband, and they got to meet our newest Granddaughter Sophia for the first time.  Our daughter Jennifer spent Christmas in Georgia with her boyfriends family. and I am told they had a very nice time.  Our daughter Sabrina came to New Hampshire with her husband Michael, and our 2 Grandsons, Isaac, and Noah.  I have posted a few photos to share with everyone, from their visit with us.  I hope you enjoy them, and perhaps you will even enjoy a chuckle too.  


First up..Mr. Potato Head impersonations!  You be the judge.

No Christmas trip is complete without a coloring book session at Grandma's house.

Noah is demonstrating the art of rainbow coloring, several colors cover more space!

Isaac, and Noah received wooden whistles from Michael's parents, Isaac did pretty well....

Noah.....not so much....his first experience was hilarious!

As you can see, Sabrina was very amused...

Noah got Elmo live, and he loved it...

Isaac got a hot wheels race track, and a lot of hot wheels cars which was a big hit!

Isaac made a snowman at Grammy, and Papa Karam's house.

Isaac loved the inflatable train at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

In parting, I would like to up date everyone on my book.  I have submitted my edited copy, and I should know soon when they will begin the process of completing it.  The book will be titled 
"A Knights Quest," and I should know soon when it will be ready for purchase.  I will keep everyone in the know as always.
