The Life From The Roots blog topics have changed several times since I began this blog in 2009. I initially wrote only about the family history I had been working on for 20 years. Years later, I was into visiting gardens, historical homes, churches, libraries that had genealogical collections, historical societies, war memorials, and travel/tourism places. I also enjoy posting autographs and photos of famous people I've met or have seen.

Along with my New England roots, other areas include New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, and the Eastern Townships of Quebec, Canada.

Please check out the labels on the right side for topics (please note, they need work). Below the labels and pageviews is a listing of my top nine posts, according to Google. Four of them pertain to Lowell, MA. These posts change often because they are based on what people are reading.

Colebrook and Dixville Notch, New Hampshire Trip


Soon after our June 2011 two-day visit, and two meals there, this resort closed. I save the breakfast menu from my first trip ca. 1985, see below. We didn't get a menu like this in 2011. While we strolled around, we saw very few people inside and out (see parking lot below). This was my second trip to this place, and I hope it re-opens soon.





Dixville Notch,
In this room, the first votes are cast for the President of the United States. The below photo shows the results of the 2000 election.


  
 As you can see, there were no people around in these public rooms.
  
  
  A few hours were spent in Quebec.
  Colebrook, New Hampshire 
was lovely, and we enjoyed spending a few nights there.





 The Lupines were in season.
  

Colebrook is on the yellow line, in the middle of the map, Canada to the north, and Dixville Notch is to the right of Colebrook.

The photos below were taken in 1985 when I went with Robert. (Unfortunately, I was using the camcorder, so no photos.)




The Facebook page for The Balsams keeps the public up-to-date with information and photos.
