being
at home together
It's really great to
just share the same household!

Christmas tree our friend Bruce gave us.
renovating
our home together
Even though it is a
continuous job, we have fun working on home projects
together.

reading
We enjoy
reading, especially interesting magazines and books
concerning social issues and educational topics.
enjoying our photo
collection
One of our favorite pastimes
is our photo collection. We are trying to keep an updated
collection of photos available and enjoy taking pictures to enjoy our
memories. We are always happy to get a hold of updated photos from
our friends and family to put into our photo albums. Charles is
working on putting our photos on CD so we can share them with other
family members and friends.
taking
walks together
We like to
walk to Shieling Forest, which is about three quarters of
a mile down the street from us, where we can enjoy the
various hiking paths.

engagement
in lifelong learning
We both
believe that the key to a better society overall lies in
continuing education, and seek continuing higher learning.
traveling
and sightseeing together
We have been
fortunate enough to be able to get away on a few trips
together and we always have a great time with one another!

working
on our Internet website
It has turned
out to be a lot of fun putting together this website and pooling
our ideas for how it should look and its content. The
neat thing is that it is another activity we are able to
enjoy together!
watching
science fiction shows and movies
We enjoy most
sci-fi movies. We have seen all of the Star Wars movies. We have watched the
original Start Trek,
Star Trek: The Next Generation,
Start Trek: Voyager,
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Earth: Final Conflict, and Babylon V. If any of these links don't work, please
let us know.
gardening
Although we
both enjoy gardening, Susan particularly enjoys flowering
plants. We haven't have a chance to have a garden
since 1999! Eventually perhaps there will be a better opportunity for us. We did build a flower
garden in front of the house during the summer of 2001
and have been keeping that going.
conversing
with each other
This is
probably our favorite pastime. We share our daily
experiences and never tire of talking with one another!
visiting
museums
We made a
trip to the Currier museum in Manchester, NH in the
spring of 1999 and saw a beautiful collection of glass
paperweights when it was on display there. We're
intending to get to Boston and do some museum sightseeing
there also. It's been a really long time since we
have gone to a museum!
taking
drives together
Sometimes it's
neat to just go out and ride through the beautiful
scenery around the Peterborough and surrounding areas. We
ventured out a little further on 8/8/99 and drove to Loon
Mountain and then up to Berlin, NH, putting 420 miles on
the car between 8am and midnight that day! We drove to
Burlington, New Jersey to attend the annual Alternatives
to Violence
national meeting on 9/3 and 9/4/1999. We drove in excess
of 680 miles on this trip.

cooking
Both of us
really enjoy dabbling in the kitchen! And of course
eating - perhaps too much!
facilitating
AVP workshops
We both enjoy
facilitating Alternatives to Violence Project workshops
here and there when possible.
We have been involved with AVP New Hampshire since 1993
and have traveled to Nigeria with AVP International.
star
gazing
The sky is
very clear over the Peterborough, NH area. We are
fortunate to have a better view of the stars than those
of you dwelling in the cities! We had an excellent view of Mars during
August 2003 when it was at its closest to Earth. And
an excellent view of the moon when it was at its
closest in 2011.
the
family
Another
source of enjoyment for us is the family.
and
most of all - we enjoy each other
We enjoy our
time together doing all the somethings and nothings that
go along with sharing a household with a loving partner!
