I AM MORE at Addison Gilbert

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

I Am More: Addison Gilbert Hospital

~ amykerrdrawsportraits

When I initially approached AGH about a display, they said their gallery wall was booked two years in advance if I wanted to wait. When I explained the timely circumstances of the portrait series they agreed that it was important to find the space. So find space they did:

This is, I think, the most high traffic display site we’ve had so far, servicing all of Cape Ann for Emergency care, Primary care, Physical Therapy, Behavioral Health, Radiology, Center for Healthy Aging, DISCOVER Substance Abuse and the Gorton Cancer Care Center.

 A visitor passing by said the stories give her hope, so thank you.

What fun on Sunday afternoon at Gloucester’s City Hall. Thank you Mayor and all the volunteers for a great time. Love all the costumes on both kids and parents. Helped not be so nervous waiting for the Champion Red Sox Game.

On Wednesday the weather was typical New England, started off sunny, then rain and it cleared up for an amazing sunset. Oh also it turned really cold, but love it anyway.

Afternoon walk on Wingaersheek Beach

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

On Monday the wind died down and so I decided to take a walk on Wingaersheek Beach.  Again never disappoints.  The tide was very low.

Love the Fall sunsets

When the sun starts to go down the sky turns such a beautiful color.  Love going to Magnolia Landing to take some photos.  The photo below took from Shore Road.

With the Red Sox heading into the World Series, we went down to Fenway on Sunday to take in the atmosphere.   You could feel the excitement and the anticipation of a great series.  Love our Red Sox.
