Saturday and Sunday Waves
The ocean was telling a story the last few days. Waves, riptides and sunshine. We all love a good storm, but everyone needs to be extremely careful out there.

Lonely Good Harbor
Good Harbor looked very deserted on Wednesday. The lifeguards were on duty to make sure swimmers were staying safe. You could see the ocean and wind changing.

Gloucester’s Waterfront Festival and Rotary Pancake Breakfast
Fun Saturday morning: Rick and I went to Gloucester’s Rotary Pancake Breakfast and then to the Waterfront Festival.
The Vernal Pond was there with their pretty snakes. Here is Luna: She is 12 feet long and can grow to 24 feet. Yikes.
Bernard Domingo from Wire and Bead Critters is a wonderful artist. His business is based in Zimbabwe with his team of eight employees. So talented. This tiger was amazing, and Rick and I bought a small elephant. To reach Bernard: DomingoWireWorks#Instagram

The only way to relax
On Tuesday afternoon, this nice couple come into the Gloucester’s Welcoming Center. They were fun and getting ready to go on a 8:00 pm. boat ride. Just as we were closing up, went out to say have fun, and they were sitting on Gloucester’s wonderful rocking chair on this great porch.
