In town square, sipping on a beer, ipading, sitting next to my love, Stella running around with her buddies. This is what a BLISSFUL Sunday looks like in the Watts family.  Open container law....one of the really great things about Waterville Valley! You can walk anywhere in the valley with a beer, glass of wine or a really anything you'd like for that matter!  Wishing every one a wonderful Sunday.  Much *LoVe*

Another great thing about Waterville Valley is the great skate park it has.   Stella and her school buddy Olivia.  Cruisin in the pipe.  Olivia's father owns a skate shop so Olivia is a great little skater. Stella is taking some tips from her and kicking some booty. Goofing off on my long board.  Ahhhh what a great Sunday fun-day!  Now it's time for some FOOOOOOTBAAALLLLLLL!!!!!! Much love...

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. John F. Kennedy   Wikipedia : G ratitude, thankfulness, gratefulness, or appreciation is a feeling, emotion or attitude in acknowledgment of a benefit that one has received or will receive. The experience of gratitude has historically been a focus of several world religions,[1] and has been considered extensively by moral philosophers such as Adam Smith.[2] The systematic study of gratitude within psychology only began around the year 2000, possibly because psychology has traditionally been focused more on understanding distress rather than understanding positive emotions.

I am so excitd to experience my first New England fall. I've heard it's hands down the best place to be to experience the change seasons. It's slowly started. The reds are popping, and the yellows are getting brighter by the day. It's Saturday, the sun is shinning and we're off for a bike ride...life is a beautiful thing. Mmmmmmuch love....

Troy and I have started a bucket list. Amongst some travel destinations and adventures that we'd like to go on, this spot is close to the top of the list. Lake Garda (Italian: Lago di Garda or Benaco) is the largest lake in Italy. It is located in Northern Italy, about half-way between Brescia and Verona, and between Venice and Milan. Glaciers formed this alpine region at the end of the last ice age. The lake and its shoreline are divided between the provinces of Verona (to the southeast), Brescia (southwest), and Trentino (north). Being easily accessible from the north via the Brenner Pass, the lake includes a number of exclusive hotels and resorts along its shore. Sending out much love....

She is growing up so fast! Stella and all her little school mates went to their first school dance of the year. They picked put their outfits together, did their hair together. It was so fun to watch. Troy and I dropped them off at 6:30 on the dot at Thorton Elementary. Stella's school is so small that we have to piggy-back with one of the other local school just so there is enough kids to have a dance. Three hours later at 9:30 we picked them up giggling, smiling, laughing and all sweaty. The girls were dancing their booties off for three hours. To say the least, Stella's first school dance was a HUGE success. Much Love..
