Tea Time with Melody Q

Heading North to New Hampshire

This was a four day trip with three different railroads. Get ready for some lovely scenery and LOTS of photos!

Day One

The first day was a travel day. It takes around 9 hours from PA to New Hampshire and we were very close to Maine's western border.

We met up with the rest of our friends at the hotel in Conway, New Hampshire for pizza and pirates!

We highly recommend the Comfort Inn & Suites Conway; gorgeous accommodations! And if you have time, mini golf!

Day Two

Early Friday morning we headed over to the Conway Scenic Railroad and set on. We went all the way up through Crawford's Notch to Hattie's Memorial Garden before heading back. The garden is beautiful and sad. It marks a spot where her family's house was before a snowslide (avalanche) wiped the house off its foundation and killed the family inside. Part of the foundation and the boiler are still there.

We passed the Mount Washington Hotel and got a nice view of Mt Washington in the distance. It still has snow on it!

Just a few more from day one.

Day Three

Saturday morning we packed up, checked out, and headed to the Lake Winnipesaukee section of the Hobo Railroad. The guys there were really nice!

Our first stop was the Ashland Station.

Then we stopped in Plymouth for lunch.

So gorgeous! We stopped at Ashland again on the way back.

From there we traveled to south to Sturbridge, Massachusetts. Nope, we didn't visit the village.

Day Four

Sunday we set on in Palmer at the Mass Central Railroad.

All three were stunning!

Everyone headed to their homes after this last ride. It was so much fun seeing everyone!

Have a wonderful day! Stay safe and well!

Why Twisted?

We tied a Model Monday to a Fun Friday and are posting on late Tuesday almost Wednesday, but we didn't want to wait. 😄😵

Also I have to say that magic wardrobe is fun. Look at the cute outfit I put together for my shoot.

Get to Know Bev

Hello! My first solo post! I did do my research. My full name is Beverly Ingeborg Silverleaf. Ya, ya, definitely a Swedish name. My birthday is December 13, 2011.

I have a few nicknames: Bev - that's the obvious one - Beaven or Beven, and Bevy. Yes, just like momma Goldberg! (giggles)

While I didn't bring any of my own pets to the family, I'm really loving all the kitties and those hedgehogs!

My doll just arrived the other day. Her name is Ruthie and she'll be in another post. I'm looking forward to sharing her with you.

As for hobbies, well, I love playing cards, reading, crocheting, embroidery, and finding fun stuff at yard sales.

My Favorites

Animal: I love cats! They are the best!

Book: Hmmm, that's tough since I love to read. I think first is The Bible, yes, that's right. Then mysteries featuring cats - like The Cat Who series.

Color: Easy peasy! Purple! I kinda think you'd figure that out by now. (giggles)

Food: Spaghetti, I can eat it every day! And when it comes to diner menu options, chicken croquettes are yummy. For snacking popcorn with butter and salt or salty pretzels are the best. And for dessert, strawberry trifle, Hershey's chocolate cake, or apple pie.

Flower: Lilacs. They're purple and smell wonderful!

Instrument: Organ - so many lovely tones and rich sounds. Piano is okay, I can play it, but really prefer the organ.

Movie: Another tough one to narrow down. Let's start with 1776, The Proposal, and any Elvis movie.

Number: 13 - no triskaidekaphobia here.

Rock group/musician: Elvis, of course! I also like Neil Diamond, Simple Minds, David Bowie, and The Moody Blues.

Sport: Okay, I'm just going to put this out there, I'm a watcher not a player. Although, I can get into a game of croquet now or then. My favorite sport to watch is figure skating - all types - women, men, couples, dancing.

Tea: I like spiced or chai tea, especially in latte form. Yummy!

TV show(s): The Big Bang Theory, Property Brothers, Home Town, and any of the Hallmark movies & Mysteries shows.

This was fun! Did anything surprise you? Do you like some of the things I do? Which is your favorite photo from my shoot?

PS. We're still working on adding my signature to the crew below.

Unfortunately, we have to figure out how to do it again and programs change even over the course of a year. 😞 So it may change a bit until we get things squared away.
