A splash over

Walking Stacy Boulevard on Saturday could be fun as the waves came right over.  Love this person who was just walking and then oops.

My obsessions with the January sunsets in Magnolia

The sunsets in Magnolia at this time of the year are amazing.  Facing south west gives the best colors in the winter.  Shore Road has many of the same people walking and taking photos at sunset.  We are called the Sunset club.

Magnolia Library Renovations

Some wonderful volunteers working on the renovations at the Magnolia Library

This January I will be lending my time and effort to help re-design the library room at the Magnolia Library and Community Center. This is a really important space to our family and it is important that it continue to serve the community.

Martin Luther King Day 2021

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: January 7, 2021

THE GLOUCESTER MEETINGHOUSE FOUNDATION PRESENTS THE FIFTH ANNUAL CELEBRATION FOR MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. DAY ONLINE

The Gloucester Meetinghouse Foundation Presents the Fifth Annual Celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day called Listening to Generations of Local Voices.  The online event will premiere on Monday, January 18, 2021 at 2 p.m. on the Gloucester Meetinghouse Foundation YouTube channel and will be available anytime afterwards on YouTube in case you miss the premiere. 

The presentation is a collage assembled from videos of Cape Ann residents interwoven with excerpts from speeches by Dr. King and John Lewis.  It will honor MLK, who lived his beliefs that all men are created equal and that injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.  It will also remind us as John Lewis did, to remain persistent and continue to listen to younger generations as our country faces systemic racism. 

We hope the video will inspire everyone to imagine what it must be like to be in the shoes of “the other” and to be humbled by what we don’t know.  More information is available at www.gloucestermeetinghouse.org where you will find a link to the video, or simply go to YouTube and search for “Gloucester Meetinghouse Foundation, MLK Day Celebration 2021.”

 

Beautiful Long Beach

On a cold December afternoon at Long Beach.  What a great afternoon for a walk at Long Beach.  Cape Ann Motor Inn certainly has a beautiful view.
