Everything works, I’m pretty sure all I need to do is tack the legs to the frame and it’s missing one of the casters. The bowl is in great shape. The charcoal bin is in great shape, the ash sweeps work well.
I so badly wish that my iPhone could have done this better justice, but the moon tonight…on this summer solstice…was phenomenal high above Good Harbor Beach.


We enjoyed yet another outstanding Passports wine dinner event this past Thursday evening, hosted by owner and Chef Eric Lorden and wine expert Matt Rose. Each of the four wonderfully delicious courses was paired with the perfect wine from the Loire Valley of France. And too, my husband and I enjoy so much the welcoming wait staff at Passports. Michael and Sally were our servers and they are always friendly and professional. We especially appreciate their fine and seamless service during the wine dinner events with a dining room bursting with patrons.
My favorite of the wines was the Champalou, Vouvray 2014 accompanying the salad of heirloom tomatoes, Tasso Lardons, Dolce Bleu, fava beans, butter lettuce, and Provencal vinaigrette.

Passports serves lunch and dinner seven days a week. They open at 11:30 am. You’ll love their everyday menu and they also post daily specials on Facebook, which you can check out here. Passports will be resuming their wine dinners in the early fall.

Each and every morning the DPW is out there cleaning Good Harbor Beach. They do an absolutely tremendous job. You would be shocked at what people leave behind, and the sheer volume of it. I am usually filming in non-public spaces and it has been an eye opener working at a public beach in the early morning. If you see these guys, please tell them thanks.

Not a bad place to spend your time…
Saltwater Massage Studio is currently looking for an experienced, motivated, and friendly massage therapist to join our team on a part-time basis during July and August. There is potential for the position to become long-term. Our primary staffing need is Friday through Sunday, but weekday sub hours will also be available on a regular basis throughout the summer.
This is a great job for an experienced therapist with a flexible schedule who likes to work independently. Must demonstrate an ability to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere for clients, posses a personal interest in self-care and holistic health, and – most importantly – provide a great massage that simultaneously addresses symptoms of pain and stress while offering an experience of ultra relaxation. This is a laid-back atmosphere, and the right personality fit is someone who is self-directed, has a sense of humor…

My Aunt and Uncle, Sharon and Wayne Martin, sent me a few slides they found in their photo collection from St. Peter’s Fiesta taken sometime in the 1950’s which I have converted to digital format. I love looking at the old photos and I hope someone can recognize the locations, people or exact year they may have been taken.
