What’s for supper, Mom?

Choose-your-own-Adventure Stir-Fry!

This sounds like great idea! And the kids can help. Often if they’re part of the planning and prep, they seem more likely to eat what they make. Good luck! —Sharon

I’m not sure which building this is on.  Can somebody identify it for me? Thanks!  —Sharon

Beautiful Industry- Cape Pond Ice

The ice travels down that troth and into the funnel looking thing where it gets blasted out by the huge motors and delivered through large hoses to either boats or trucks.  The same way today that it was done 25 years ago.  Some times when things work you stick with it.

Where Zat Answer

Magnolia Pier
Magnolia Pier

Since Shawn Cromwell (Congratulations!) identified this week’s Where Zat? so quickly, I may as well show you the whole photo. Here’s where I hung out during my kid years,  smashing periwinkles with rocks for bait to catch cunners with drop lines off the float.  I remember my cousin  Dickie caught a sculpin one time.  Scared the crap out of all us girls!

Notice that the boards at the end of the pier are missing.  Each year the city guys put the boards up and shortly after, the boards are gone.  Kids need to get a running start to jump.  And how can you ride your bike off the end unless you have a clear path?  I’m sure 75 years ago my dad did the same thing. Life as a kid in Magnolia…there ‘s nothing better!   —–Sharon
