Multi colored sunset

The sunsets have been outstanding the last few evenings.  Shore Road has a group called the sunset club and we have a wonderful time talking and enjoying mother nature.  Even Maggie the little dog is waiting for the sun to set.

Sundogs are colored spots of light that develop due to the refraction of light through ice crystals. They are located approximately 22 degrees either left, right, or both, from the sun, depending on where the ice crystals are present.

Since there has been no sun for a week, the ever-faithful group, still takes a walk patiently waiting for the red sky.

Still no sun

On Tuesday when walking on Shore Road as the sun was going down, no color in the sky.  The sunset club at Magnolia Pier keeps hoping for some color.  Maybe over the weekend.

“Senior Discount”
Hello Gangnam Friends,
Starting February 1st, we will be granting all customers age 60+ to a 10% discount. However in order to be granted discount, all recipients would need a method of verification for their age.
Ever since our beginning, we have set core values that help guide us. One of these core values were to give back to the community, and to be able to do that is a privilege that we will not take for granted.
We thank you, the Gloucester community, for once again giving us an opportunity to better serve this community.
Thank you,

The Gangnam Gloucester Team

This April, the Hammond Castle Museum will present “Gertude Cawein at Hammond Castle Museum,” a new exhibit of nearly 60 works or art by Eric Pape, the distinguished artist and former Annisquam resident.
This exhibit offers a unique insight into the multifaceted talents of Pape. Renowned as a painter, designer of the iconic “Tablet Rock Memorial” in Stage Fort Park, and a society portraitist, Pape’s brilliance shines through various mediums, including pencil, pen, watercolors, and oils. At the heart of this celebration is the full-length portrait of Gertrude Cawein, painted by Pape and loaned from the Filson Historical Society in Louisville, Kentucky. For the first time outside the Filson, visitors can witness this rare example of Pape’s work as a society portraitist. The majority of the works will be on loan from the private collection of esteemed Pape collector and biographer, Dr. Gregory Conn.
The exhibit will run from Friday, April 5th through April 28th from 10:00am-4:00pm. There will be an opening reception in the evening on Saturday, April 6th, so mark your calendar!
Hammond Castle Museum is our featured Business Spotlight of the week! Visit http://www.hammondcastle.org to learn more and plan your visit. Stay tuned for exhibit details and ticket info coming soon!

Lunch at Grillfriends

On Sunday before the big games, Rick and I went to Grillfriends for lunch.  Lucky to have a great restaurant that we can have a great lunch.

Rick had the Mindy chicken sandwich and I had hot and cold veggie rollup.  So good and also served with Fresh Friend chips.
