BEAUTIFUL WINTER’S DAY IN OUR GLOUCESTER NEIGHBORHOOD

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

gloucester-city-skyline-winter-copyright-kim-smithFrom an early morning stop at the bottom of my hill, with a view towards the Harbor and City Hall (as well as a feisty Common Loon), to the creatures abounding along the shore, it was a gorgeous winter morning, and all set against a widely striped and deeply-hued winter sky backdrop.

Stunning Dog Rocks for $5 a piece! Surely you can find one that reminds you of a special furry friend. Buy a rock and help some folks!

I’m good with “visiting” the snow!

Posted on by Bridgette Mathews

I love “visiting” the snow up in NH and I’m hoping we are going to be spared with just a dusting of this white stuff tomorrow!   But I’ll have the shovel ready just in case!

Normally, I’d Love a Run in With George Clooney…

Posted on by Nichole S.

Normally, I’d love a run in with George Clooney, but not so much hanging all large as life in the bathroom at a restaurant.  Not even just in the bathroom but actually like right above the toilet.

Weird.
