The fall should be a nice time to go the observatory, it should be way cooler and hopefully the smog wont be as bad. What classes are you taking at USC?

Definetly enjoy the nice clean air while you can.

I'm majoring in Linguistics with a minor in French. This semester I'll be studying Italian, Japanese syntax, phonology, and writing an honors thesis. My thesis is actually about differences in speech across age groups in New Hampshire, so I'm in the process of interviewing and recording people right now.

If all goes well, I'll finish up my French requirements in the spring (my last semester) in Paris. I just don't even want to think about what the flight's going to cost...

JFR- Your granddaughter is gorgeous and adorable at the same time! How nice that you get to spend time spoiling her. Love the doll in the passenger seat, btw! That fixed doll expression just says "is she dragging me on another ride already?".

Suzet - Your entire family is stunning. And your girls just radiate goodness, which is uncommon there. I think you know what I mean. I love the Griffith Observatory and it holds special meaning to me bec. when we first moved from NH to CA we lived in a corporate apartment on Los Feliz (the longest 3 wks of my life), so I was up there often. Everyone might remember the observatory from the classic Rebel Without A Cause (James Dean, Natalie Wood, Sal Mineo). >sigh< So sorry you are stuck in the smog. It's just not right.

And Verseau, I was going to start a thread about the French influence in NH, since it's prevalent and obvious here, i.e. the bienvenue signs at the mass border, etc. and some of us on the board(myself included) have eau-ending french last names ....Good luck w/the progress of your thesis.

JFR, your Granddaughter is just so adorable.

Verseau, wow I am very impressed. I hope you can go to Paris. That will be amazing for you. I would actually love to learn French. My family on my Dads' side are French, so I guess it would be nice to speak the language.

Lisa, thank you, that was very sweet of you to say that about my girls. They are truly angels in my book. My husband and I are blessed to have two great daughters. Yes, I sure do know what you mean about goodness being uncommon here. Its really too bad.

I loved the movie Rebel without a Cause. I havent seen it in a very long time. I liked the movie Bowfinger with Eddie Murphy, that was also filmed at the Observatory. The movie Transformers had a scene shot at the Observatory too. My daughter Heather is a huge Shia fan, lol. So I have had to sit through that movie many timeshahaha.

The smog is really bad this year. Even today, looking out the window, it is pretty smoggy, and you can feel it when you breathe in....sigh.

So I take it you didnt like living in Los Felix??? Lol. But the bright side, you did get to spend some time at the Observatory.

Great pictures Ishwrong I think my favorite is the one of the bridges over the Piscataqua (how bad did I butcher the spelling of that one?) Very nice with the lights, the coast guard boats, etc. Thanks for sharing!!

[Ishwrong]

Heh, thanks! And, you spelled Piscataqua correctly! I went over a river yesterday on Route 1 in Belfast, ME that is five times worse than Piscataqua. Let's see... Passagassawakeag.

Awesome pictures Ishwrong - makes me miss Portsmouth and Dover so much - but it helps at the same time (multiple personalities? LOL)

[Suzet2262]

Ishwrong, wow thank you so much for posting your beautiful photos. You have made me more excited about coming to NH.

Here's a couple pics that I took. My boyfriend and I go fishing a LOT and while we were in the canoe on Mendum's Pond in Barrington, we saw the cutest loon family. Check out the pics!! I took a ton of photos. In these pics, you can only see one baby on the Mama's back but she actually had 2 on there.
