My View of Life on the Dock
Went to Kalamata Greek Kitchen on Thursday for lunch. Their Greek Lemon Soup is so good, I actually get excited knowing that is what I will be having for lunch. The warm Pita bread hits the spot. The staff and ambiance are great as well.

Even with the cold and windy days, Good Harbor never disappoints. Lucky to live here.
On Saturday afternoon took a great walk on Shore Road. The clouds were telling stories.

Eastern point on Sunday gave Rick and I a smile with these cuties resting on the rocks.
The clouds were beautiful on Saturday near sunset. It was very windy and cold.
Only 3 days ago, the beach was full of beach goers, then what happened. New England weather.
On Wednesday, a friend and I went to Bravo by the Sea for lunch. Bravo is a treat with delicious food. The Greek pizza was amazing with a beautiful presentation.

On Monday, so nice to have the windows open. Sunset was at 6:40 and walking with the Sunset Club was delightful. Grateful
On Sunday, as the sun was trying to come out and milder temperatures, Good Harbor had many beach goers. There was also Stand-Up Paddleboarders enjoying the milder weather.
On Sunday, the skies took almost all day to break for some sun. When sunset came, it showed mother nature’s beauty.
As we were walking on a dreary Saturday, noticed these cuties swimming in different directions. Also, both were looking away from each other.
With the snow and the trees with no leaves, the shadows are so pretty and tell a story.
Before Thursday’s sleet and snow came to visit, took a walk on Stacy Boulevard. The tide was low and the harbor was quiet.
During the storm on Tuesday, the turkeys were flying everywhere. At least they were not flying monkeys from the Wizard of Oz.
After so much pretty snow, the parking at Magnolia Landing is starting to improve. The DPW did a great job this snowy winter.
Thank you Mary Bowles for letting me know who the artist was that created the beautiful tribute collage for the Lily Jean.
Alisha Elwell deserves the credit for the collage. Thank you Mary Bowles for the pressed flowers and frame.
