A cloudy day on Magnolia Pier

Took a walk to Magnolia Pier after the rain.  We did need the rain and the flowers are happy.  Magnolia Harbor was quiet and peaceful with Kettle Island waiting for kayakers.

Eastern Point Lighthouse

After my shift at Gloucester’s Visitors’ Center, the clouds were forming and the Eastern Point looked pretty.

Another beach day

Went to the beach after work on Monday.  The clouds were coming in and looked very threatening.  The wind picked up and rain went around us.

Day of kayaking

On Sunday, Rick and I decided to kayak the Annisquam starting at Corliss Landing.  We went towards Wingaersheek Beach.  What a beautiful day to enjoy another beautiful place.

Another beautiful beach day

May favorite and happy place is the beach.  Love the salt water on my skin and hair.  It is very healing and brings down your blood pressure.

Sunday Mass and beautiful procession

On Sunday, Mass at St. Peter’s Park was crowded and wonderful.  After the Mass, the procession did not disappoint.  It is wonderful to see the traditions continue.  Thank you to The Fiesta Committee and the first responders who keep everyone safe.

Saturday fun

Even with the fog and drizzle, St. Peter’s Fiesta was fun.  Congratulations to Saturday Greasy Pole winner Max Allen.  Congratulation to the Nina in the Seine Boat Race, in the fog.

Greasy Pole Friday

Friday Greasy and Seine boats was so much fun.  Great effort by all.  Congratulations to the Santa Maria and Joey Klyce.  This event is so much fun.

A summer day at Wingaersheek Beach

On Wednesday went to Wingaersheek Beach in the afternoon.  The weather was fantastic, and swimming so delightful.  Thank you, city of Gloucester, for the access ramps to help all visitors enjoy our beautiful beaches.

Out on the Schooner Lannon

On Sunday, Rick and I were on The Lannon, which never disappoints.  The views were beautiful.  The Ardelle after the Bunker Hill Battle, went out sailing.  Gorgeous skies and sparkling ocean.
