I was in Gilmanton last week, looking at a beautiful piece of property in an idyllic setting. Imagine expansive open fields bordered by century-old historic stone walls and framed by a vibrant canopy of trees. Gilmanton is a small, scenic, and quiet community of lakes, forests, iconic farms, and historic homes that proudly display the years they were built.

I’ve always had a special fondness for Center Harbor. It brings back happy memories of my sister and I rowing a boat while vacationing with my parents along Center Harbor Bay as a child.
Over the years, I’ve had an interest in following the Baby Boomer generation because they have been referred to as “The single greatest demographic event in U.S history.” The Boomers represent 76 million Americans born between 1945 and 1964.

Over Labor Day Weekend, my cellphone slid over some real estate documents and fell to the bottom of the lake. It has been three days without my cellphone until my replacement arrives, and it has given me a new perspective on how dependent we are on our smartphones. It's so easy to look up in…
It’s been a great summer, and the days have flown by. Can you believe it’s already Labor Day Weekend? However, on a positive note, summer officially ends on the Autumnal Equinox, on Monday, Sept. 22. That’s good news, and it usually translates into one of the best times to enjoy all we offer…
