They’re Back!

As the ice slowly melts, the swans return to Niles Pond to begin their nesting. If the turtles and foxes don’t get the eggs, signets will join the family mid-spring.

Grandkid’s New Tattoo

Chris got this Phoenix tattoo a couple of weeks ago when he was stationed in Louisiana. Quite impressive. He came home Friday night for a weekend surprise visit before he goes off to Afghanistan next week. 😦 “sigh”    —Sharon

Bodin Historic Photo is an art gallery on Boston’s North Shore. Here, photographer Fred Bodin displays and sells prints from his collection of over 9,000 glass and film negatives. Fred hand prints, sepia tones, and frames each photograph himself, using archival museum quality materials. Subjects include beaches, hotels, landscapes, people, and the famous sailing schooners of New England. Although concentrated on Cape Ann (Gloucester and Rockport), the collection covers a wide variety of locations, including the great National Parks out west in the 1920’s and Hawaii in the late 1800’s. In addition to the historic photos, Fred also exhibits his large format landscapes, schooners, and Polaroid to watercolor transfers. New images are added every week. If you see a photograph you like on my web site, please call to order or for more information. We accept all major credit cards and are happy to ship your picture to you. If you’re up on Cape Ann- come and visit. We’re open Monday through Friday 11AM to 6PM, Saturday 10AM to 8PM, and on Sunday from 12N to 5PM.

West Gloucester Walls

Every few weeks I find myself driving through the back roads of West Gloucester. A step back in time with winding paths converted to modern roads and rock wall property markers – a peaceful respite from the everyday world.

 

It’s fried egg, fried egg, gotta get down on fried egg!

This came from Paul Morrison yesterday who was commenting on an egg post from a couple of years ago. Absolutely hilarious!! Good one, Paul!

Go see it today!!! You’ll love it!

Joanne and I saw last night’s show. What an amazing production! 75 middle school kids totally into singing, dancing, and acting. If you go today, you’ll walk out with a smile on your face and a bounce in your step. We both loved it!
Bravo to all the teachers and kids involved in this magical show!
