Not a great photo, but feeling the love virtually.  Miss my family but using ZOOM really helps.

A rainy day on Thursday

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

As we are working from home and practicing ‘social distance” it was nice to take a ride to Good Harbor and get out.  Even in the rain and clouds the footbridge looked pretty.  Also do you notice how quiet everything looked.

Real progress on the Magnolia Pier, pretty Shore Road and a Stand Up Paddle boarder

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

On a beautiful Wednesday took a walk to to the beach.  There were many people out walking with proper distance.  The Pier looks great, Shore Road is so pretty and love the fact there was a paddle boarder off Kettle Island.  It does not take us hardy New England citizens to adapt as soon as the sun is out.  Beautiful day.

Manchester Historical Museum Art Show Updat

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

From Beth Welin, Director of the Manchester Historical Museum

We will extend the art show for at least a week depending on how long most places are shut down. We’ll post a new closing reception date in a week or so. No one will come in next week (as we’ve seen yesterday and today), and we want to give you all the best chances for folks to see and buy your work. If you need to take your art as originally planned, feel free to do so. There’s no problem on our end to let the show stay up until mid April. I’ll send a new poster announcing the closing reception in a week or so when we’ve decided on the new date.
