Trip back East: Peeps

We had a wonderful visit with Larry’s parents in New Hampshire. We visited in the complex. We went out for lunch at two or three, no two, of the vegan-friendly establishments in the area. Thank goodness for the new franchise, Panera Bread, with their salads and veggie sandwiches. Heart patients take note: their French Onion soup and Chicken Caesar salad is very high in sodium.

Having gone out to eat at nearly every meal with Larry’s parents, we were willing to pay my parents NOT to go out to eat. We had wonderful salads and fruits on the porch, supplemented by artisan breads. We were able to keep some semblance of a routine with walks to the public boat launch and back (about 2 miles, or is it one mile round trip?) One day, my Mom brought the family slides over for me to sort and take back with me to scan. That was sweet to see family and holidays celebrated. Gotta love the 60’s and 70’s!
