Pretty Little River

At dusk on Thursday, drove by Little River.  The tide was low; the area was very quiet as the sun was setting.

On Wednesday, the sunset was so incredible.  The red sky with the reflection on the ocean was so serene and relaxing.  Grateful for where we live.

Fun dining

Rick and I went to Mile Marker for breakfast on Sunday.  We had a great breakfast and then took a walk to see the igloos.  What a fun way to dine.

Cape Ann Makers Market

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

On Saturday, November 29, 2025, the Cape Ann Makers Market was held at the fabulous venue Cruiseport.  Thank you to these three women for organizing a great event.   Aniko Baglaneas Ewes, of Cape Ann Salt, Deanna Fay-Anaya, Hold & Fast, and Angie Butler, Eleven Eleven Elixir.  These three women worked so hard, and we had an amazing and successful event.  Thank you all who came out to shop locally.  Since it was so busy no time for taking photos which is a good thing for small businesses.

 

Hope all had a Happy Thanksgiving

Rick and I went to my brother’s house for Thanksgiving with family.  My siter in law, Peggi, is very talented from her great food to crafts.  She had butter in the shape of a turkey and made me a terrific ceramic Christmas tree.  My fun brother Paul has a 3D printer and made us all ornaments.

Yummy and more yummy..  As soon as you walk into Turtle Alley 42 Rogers Street, Gloucester, MA, you immediately have the urge to have chocolate.  The smell is amazing.

Magnolia Landing after sunset

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

After walking at sunset, noticed that the sky turned very dark except for a line over the ocean.  Had my day lights on and saw the lights were shining on a couple kayaks still tied up.  So pretty.  We are so lucky to live here.

On Thursday afternoon the bridge was up for a large sailboat.  Looked over and noticed lots of ducks about to play in the current.

There is a little staircase on Shore Road.  At one time there was a private pool behind the archway on Shore Road.  You can see this little entry way from Shore Road.
