Good Morning Campers

Just after sunrise, and sunset.
The weather was absolutely perfect. The water was warm and we lingered Friday, All day Saturday, and Sunday morning. The girls and I came home to let Todd fish Sunday morning. I know he had been itching to go and it was such a beautiful day. We came home to wash all the linens and towels we had used and we'll go back and pick him up around nap time. I think he was excited to fish solo not having to worry about his babies on the dock or his wife launching the barbie fishing pole into the drink as she attempted to cast with a toddler in her lap. I found the humor in it, he did not.


We had a blast! The girls had a fantastic time as did Todd and I. It was very relaxing and calming, a great escape from the day to day. They girls are at such a great age where we can do things like this for the weekend, and we are always ten minutes from home. We figured out we just need to run the clock out, let them get utterly exhausted, hey isn't that summers are all about.


Swimming with toddlers is a challenge, We used some arm swimmies on the girls and set a rope system so they could keep their feet on the bottom and not go too deep. Of course we sat right at the rope and had our hands on someone at all times, so it was impossible to take any pictures. I turned in early on Sat night. I was up with the girls at 6am, made some coffee and heard this thundering whirl of a helicopter. It's something we have been hearing on a regular basis.



Those of you who live in Goffstown, New Boston, Weare, and Deering may be framiliar with the big orange signs along the side of the road. They say THIRO USA structure, then some numbers. It starts in Goffstown by the Villa with #1 and goes all the way into Hillsborough up to structure #200. I found this info online and thought is was interesting.
PROFILE OF THIRO

Founded in Victoriaville in 1952, Thiro is a general contractor
specializing in the construction and maintenance of electrical transmission
and distribution lines as well as power houses and substations. Thiro's name
comes from its founders, Messrs. Thibault and Roux. The Company serves
primarily the Québec market as well as the northeastern United States.
In Québec, revenues are drawn from Hydro-Québec and engineering firms. In
the US market, the clientele is more diversified and includes several public
utilities companies. Thiro expanded its operations into the United States and,
in 1987, founded a subsidiary-Thiro USA Inc.-in New Hampshire. Thiro employees
and equipment were then assigned to it. Thiro USA specializes mainly in the
construction and maintenance of electrical transmission and distribution
lines. It operates in the New England states: Connecticut, Maine,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont as well as in New York
and New Jersey. The territory targeted by JJL Déboisement Inc. (a division of
Thiro Ltd.) is principally the Outaouais region, the Hautes-Laurentides and
Abitibi.
The Company actually has 350 employees: 100 at Thiro, 75 at JJL
Déboisement Inc. and 175 at Thiro USA.
According to André Laramée, President and CEO, "The decision to buy
Thiro, a highly efficient company, is due among other things to the fact that
Thiro has developed recognized expertise in a primary economic sector that is-
moreover-about to begin a growth cycle. Beyond that, these two key elements
fit perfectly with CVTech Group's investment policies and criteria."

or type THIRO USA into any search engine. Pretty interesting.

Therefore the helicopters we have noticed at the lake and over our house for the last two weeks are bringing in new utility poles. It was interesting watching them fly over the lake last weekend. It was even more interesting to see it hover right over our little cove and drop these enormous utility poles with precision. I snapped a couple of pictures. The girls were waving and saying 'Hi Grammy B!!'
