Nothing too exciting to report tonight. Our weather changed today from bright sunshine to clouds and a little freezing rain that made driving a little hazardous for an hour or so, according to news reports. Tomorrow is going to be better except for high winds. We took advantage of the nice day yesterday and went to Littleton, NH. We enjoyed the mountain views, starting off in Danville, the clear blue sky and clean new snow, and took pictures of things along the way. I never really noticed just driving along the strip that is the road to Lisbon where all the box stores are popping up, but when I looked at the photos I realized - that road is anything but attractive now. We stopped at Littleton Chevrolet and saw the beginnings of the new building Abel Toll and Ronnie Lister are building. There's a picture of a crane high above the roof. We were told the present building will be leveled, making a much more attractive approach to the business, and there will be showroom space which the present building does not have.

We did our errands and then had a quick bite at McDonald's before heading home so Fred could get back to helping our neighbor, almost 90 years old, with her new computer. Back in West Danville, while I was in the P.O. picking up the mail, Fred got another picture of Joe's Brook, the old railroad track that is now snowmobile trail, and also the footbridge.

In case you haven't been on the road to Littleton for a while, and perhaps never in winter, I thought you might like to see the pictures we took.

Here is a bit of news you may be interested in - Walden has a pizza place now. We haven't been there yet, but plan to try it soon. You may remember that in 2006 Anthony and Jacqueline Willey bought the Walden General Store, not far from where Ella's Pizza used to be quite a few years ago. They have lots of things going on there now, including a restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, and they are featuring pizza, calzones, specialty melts and wraps along with their regular menu. They also have beer on tap and wine. I don't know if they added extra space or are utilized existing space, but it sure sounds as if it's a fun place. Anyway, I thought you'd like to visit their web site to see their menu: Walden Country Store
Fred will put a link on the web site, too.
