Fishermens Wives’ Memorial

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

Designed by Gloucester sculptor Morgan Faulds Pike, the statue captures the all too familiar pose of waiting-with-strength known to wives, mothers, daughters, and sisters of fishermen and mariners whose family members chose to go out to sea. The memorial is a reminder that while the men are out at sea, the women are active in the community engaged in the work of promoting and preserving the Gloucester and New England fishing industry and helping active and retired fishermen and their families live better lives.  When I look at this picture, the mother’s face and her children holding her hand and her shirt say it all.

Kayaking in Magnolia Harbor

Since Rick and I got our Kayaks we are having a great time and it is great exercise.  We were out on the harbor and I took my small camera and was able to get this picture.

As I was doing some research for a work project.

Kayaks

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

After watching the Blackburn Challenge and being inspired by Paul Morrison, and the other contestants, Rick and I decided to buy two Kayaks.  We took them out today on Magnolia Beach and now we are hooked.  Great workout and lots of fun.
