My Dad had all these old postcards from Magnolia. A friend scanned them, and I have the slides. I would guess this was during the late 1800’s. The original postcards are on display at the Magnolia Library Center.
Old Time Magnolia

For Shawn Cromwell-
When we were kids, we walked every day to the beach. The end toward the landing was the city-owned public beach. You had to walk through a ton of seaweed to get to clear water. Still the same now. When I put my kayak in now, the memories of “Stinky Beach” come right back! —Sharon

The Rabbit’s Picture of Desserts At Finale
Thanks Brian for the picture.
Finale got a Best Of Boston award for best dessert in Boston for 2008. I got the Tiramisu which was very good but I’d still take the Mrs’ Tiramisu over the one I had here. the Rabbit had the Boston Creme. Each dessert was like a work of art. One of these days I’ll get the Mrs to post her Tiramisu recipe.

Anemone At The New England Aquarium
I needed about 3 hours more to get the pictures I wanted to at The Aquarium. This is one of those times where you have to balance family time with trying to get the right shot as the girls were going nuts. The Bean excitedly screaming that each exhibit was her new favorite and Snoop Maddie Mad flying up and down the ramps with wreckless abandon. I managed one or two decent snaps out of dozens though.
This one is kinda pretty.

Snoop Mad Paints
This is the first time that Snopp Maddie Mad has used the easel to paint. She didn’t do half bad, but that’s to be expected. She’s gifted. The doctor said she’s 1000000th percentile for artistic ability. Honestly.

Seagull Poop For Evelyn
Seeing as Evelyn likes the Seagull Poop Pics so much I thought I’d toss another one her way. This is what herring looks like after it has been digested and pooped out of the seagul’s ass. Anyone up for some over easy eggs?
