We took our Christmas tree to a home in Essex and the goats LOVED it. Up-cycling at its best.

I believe you only have a few more days to get yourself over to The Lobster at 115 East Main Street in Gloucester before they close for the winter. They will be closed for Friday dinner for a private party but are open today 11:30-8:30, tomorrow for lunch from 11:30-4:00, and then all weekend for both lunch and dinner. I had the baked haddock with a caesar salad and some truffle fries and every bite of it was tremendous. https://www.thelobsterofgloucester.com/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=wix_google_business_profile&utm_campaign=4853144082179927035

A Day at the Office. I sat and watched the activity on the State Fish Pier the other day. So much to always get done to tend to the vessels and gear. It was a reminder on an extra foggy day of just how hard the work can be. Safe trips, everyone. 

Works of art. I recently noticed these planters on the boulevard on either side of the Fisherman Statue. I’m certain someone has probably written about them before, but they are phenomenal! I am excited to learn more about them. 

Heading out on a foggy December morning.

Wine bottles turned into really cool holiday cheer….at Loco near Fenway. We had an excellent meal before seeing Dylan Scott perform at the House of Blues.

Each December, for many years now, teams comprised of some dedicated mens league hockey players look forward to the Ancient Mariner Tournament in Gloucester. I know I speak for everyone when I applaud Rusty Harnish for all of the work and dedication he has given to keeping this tournament alive. This year, the Hockey Dawgz, led by Tony Frontiero, won the Ancient Mariner B Championship over the West Pond Hockey Club. The Dawgz overcame a slow start and a 3-0 deficit to win the title 4-3.  Congratulations, Dawgz! Happy to feature other champions as well….just submit any photos.

I love this truck…a different spin on Santa’s sleigh. I see it each season while trekking to Marlboro for hockey games with Finn and I’ve come to look forward to it each December.
