So many Magnolia sunsets amaze the sunset club. If you look at the left side, it looks like a quill painting the sky. On Thursday, the sunset was telling a story of mother nature’s beauty.

Yummy breakfast
On Sunday Rick and I like to go to breakfast. Last Sunday, we went to Grillfriends for a great breakfast. Rick had the traditional breakfast, and I had a garden omelet. So tasty and the atmosphere at Grillfriends is friendly.

Cold and windy sunset
Did not spend much time walking Shore Road on Tuesday night. Temperature and wind were intense. This may sound crazy, but the fresh air does revitalize your spirit.

Pretty Monday Morning
The snow on Monday made for a special morning. The snow always is so pretty with the clouds and how the trees look.

My new friend
Even with the dreary skies, this cute seal was very happy on the rocks. This seal was far out, but it looked like this cutie was looking right at me.

Cold winter clouds
The cold weather on Friday can make for some beautiful skies. Try to always look at the positive.

Half hour after sunset
There is a term called the Golden Hour, an hour before sunset and an hour after. As the sun goes down, the color can continue.

The Cut Bridge
As the city finds way to get over the Cut Bridge, the workers seem to be polite and working hard. Traffic is moving with the corporation of drivers.

No two sunsets are the same. Some are blue, yellow, red and pink. On Tuesday the sunset was very blue. Grateful

Hammond Castle
Reblogged from the Hammon Castle FaceBook Page. Very impressive numbers for this great Castle.
During our 2025 season, we issued 93,000 admission tickets at Hammond Castle Museum. Families created memories together, students discovered new ideas, and guests of all ages found moments of joy, inspiration, and connection. Whether your visit sparked curiosity, offered a sense of wonder, or became a cherished tradition, we are grateful that the Museum was part of your year.
We look forward to sharing all that we have planned for the 2026 season in the coming weeks!

Martin Luther King Jr. Day Program
MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. DAY PROGRAM IN THE GLOUCESTER MEETINGHOUSE ON MONDAY, JANUARY 19, 2026
GLOUCESTER, MA: The Gloucester Meetinghouse Foundation, in collaboration with the Gloucester Racial Justice Team, will present a program to explore the work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The goal is to use our history to guide us in light of today’s social, economic, and political challenges. The featured speaker will be Professor Jamie Wilson, historian from Salem State University and author of a book about Dr. King. The free program will take place on Monday, January 19 at 2:00 p.m. in the historic Gloucester Meetinghouse, home of the Gloucester Unitarian Universalist Church, on the green at 50 Middle Street. For more information please visit www.gloucestermeetinghouse.org
Professor Wilson is the author of Martin Luther King. Jr.: A Life in American History. New York: Bloomsbury, 2023. He will discuss the obstacles faced by Dr. King and the struggle for racial equality in both the north and the south after the landmark Supreme Court decisions that banned segregated schools but left many discriminatory practices intact across many industries such as housing and employment.
All are invited to the UU Church Social Hall (downstairs) where Professor Wilson will speak, followed by a video excerpt from a 1967 interview of MLK, Jr. by Sander Vanocur of NBC News. Participants will then be divided into discussion groups led by trained facilitators. Each group will tackle issues that are relevant to the struggles for human dignity and security that Reverend King championed. Parking is available on the green in front of the Meetinghouse. Please enter the Social Hall via the side door at #10 Church Street or the side door from the Gould Court parking area. Light refreshments will be served.
Organizers of this event include Jerry Ackerman and Karen N. Bell, co-chairs of the Gloucester Meetinghouse Events Committee, and Michea McCaffrey, Chair of the Gloucester Racial Justice Team. A special sponsor of the event is the Beverly & Addison Gilbert Hospitals, a member of Beth Israel Lahey Health. This annual MLK Day program in Gloucester is part of the Meetinghouse Tenth Anniversary series.
