Blue Skies and Nice Waves
My View of Life on the Dock
Looking westward along Coffin’s Beach to the houses on Two Penny Loaf, across the Essex River to Cranes Beach and beyond to Plum Island. From this vantage, on a clear day, we can also see the Isle of Shoals on the New Hampshire – Maine border. It still amazes me that just 15 minutes away by car is Niles Beach from which we can view the Boston skyline, so that from two locations in the City of Gloucester we can enjoy the view of more than 50 miles of beautiful New England shoreline.
There are a number of seasonal gallery spaces available for the 2014 season on Madfish Wharf, 77 Rocky Neck Ave. near the Madfish Grille, Rudder and newly renovated Studio Restaurants. For an artist, the Rocky Neck Art Colony is the place to be in the summer. If you or a group of artists have thought about opening your own gallery space, this could be the perfect time and opportunity for you. To learn more, email Niki Ahearn at nicoleahearn@comcast.net or text her at 617-543-2977.

Years ago Marshmallow Peeps were only sold during the springtime months surrounding the Easter holiday. Today they are manufactured into dozens of holiday shapes and marketed in retail stores year round. Even though they are now regularly available, I think many would agree that spring time, and Easter wouldn’t be complete without enjoying a brightly colored sugary traditional bunny or chick shaped marshmallow Peeps! With thousands of people across the country annually flocking to the store to buy a package, I thought It would be fun to give GMG FOB’s an opportunity to share their favorite way to incorporate a marshmallow Peep into an Easter/Spring Time sweet treat! …Send us your creative ideas including a photo and I will personally post them for all to see here on Sista’s Dish!
