When we started our trip we weren't planning to go quite so far. The wedding of a dear friend in Pennsylvania precipitated going to the east, and we decided to visit Jennie Blair, another dear friend and the potter who worked with us for ten years before moving back to her family home in New Hampshire. After I looked at a map and saw how far northeast New Hampshire actually is, we decided that we might as well keep going and see Prince Edward Island, the place that inspired the writing of the "Anne of Green Gables" books, one of our daughter Becky's favorite series.
Becky, David and I travel well together, each with our own duties to perform when we fill up with gas, pack and go into our lodging for the night. We were gone for two weeks and saw some beautiful country, visited several close friends and appreciated even more the beautiful, diverse country we live in. Altogether, we were in 2 countries, 4 provinces, 16 states, and drove 6704 miles. Most of those miles, we weren't lost, but a few we were. GPS doesn't work extremely well in unpopulated areas, and that's usually the most interesting, pretty country.
We searched for a place like the Coffee Pot on our journey, and were disappointed that there just aren't that many places which offer fresh baked goods and homemade everything, from soups to lasagnas. It made us appreciate what our team has created at the Coffee Pot and Mountain Arts, and why so many people feel like they're coming home when they visit us again and again. The prettiest sight on our trip was at the end of our driveway. "Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home..."
