I’m a freelance journalist, adjunct professor and vacation host maven. In my leisure hours, I like to paint furniture, cook and entertain, photograph landscapes and cityscapes, read books with good character development, and pursue outdoor activities. I discovered Sunapee, NH in the late 90s for its hiking and ski trails, as well as the famous League of NH Crafts Fair. Sunapee is not far from Greater Boston, but a world apart in culture. For one thing, there are no mega-resorts trampling its quiet beauty. But it’s not so tranquil that if your car gets stuck in a snow bank, you feel alone. Because wouldn’t you know it: a local with a pickup truck and chains is likely to drive by and pull you out of dire straits.
