Jun 26, 2025 — “Boston drivers are 244% more likely to crash than average, making it the riskiest city in Allstate’s Best Drivers Report.”
GMG Jim and I traveled to Colorado last week to celebrate a family wedding. We hadn’t taken a vacation this year so we (I) added a few days to the trip so we could explore a bit. We stayed in Fairplay which is not the least bit urban but the people were friendly and the vibe was relaxing. We explored the area (BEAUTIFUL) but saw almost no wildlife (BOO). It took me several days to adapt somewhat to the change in altitude. Let’s just say it wasn’t Jimmy’s good looks that left me breathless.
Then we traveled to Buena Vista for the wedding which has a totally different vibe than either Cape Ann or Fairplay. It’s lovely there as well as you can see in these photos but we are very glad to be safe back at sea level or below here in our beloved Gloucester. It’s good to get away now and again to remind you of the blessings you have at home.

Rick and I went to my brother’s house for Thanksgiving with family. My siter in law, Peggi, is very talented from her great food to crafts. She had butter in the shape of a turkey and made me a terrific ceramic Christmas tree. My fun brother Paul has a 3D printer and made us all ornaments.

We decided to visit Hammond Castle on Hesperus Ave and take a look at their Deck The Halls display. Did you know that Hammond Castle offers Gloucester residents free entry on Tuesdays? So we went last Tuesday and were pleasantly surprised to note how many others had the same idea. We saw some familiar Gloucester faces as well as a notable number of other visitors. The display is up until Jan 4 as well as in the evenings on Thursdays through December. I am sure it is extra pretty in the evening. It’s a great idea for visiting family! Tickets and more info at this link.
As you can see here, it’s very beautiful and peaceful to stroll through seeking the many ways every corner has been filled with holiday cheer.
Good Morning Gloucester
