Gloucester’s Layce Alves 7th Win!
Tremendous race and tremendously fun for we watching the race. The most enjoyable was seeing the families cheer on their loved ones. I didn’t photograph the men’s and women’s winners Dan Chruniak and Layce Alves crossing the finish line as I was filming them. This was Layce Alves 7th 5k win! For complete coverage of the race, see today’s Gloucester Daily Times.

So Much Spinning
A whole lot of spinning was going on. Funny….ever since riding the Twirling Strawberries at the Topsfield Fair 7.5 years ago and feeling violently ill from the spinning….only to discover two days later that I was pregnant with Finn… I haven’t been able to handle spinning. Roller Coasters…no problem. Spinning, twirling, twisting kiddie rides. Shoot me.

1950’s Fiesta Photos
My Aunt and Uncle, Sharon and Wayne Martin, sent me a few slides they found in their photo collection from St. Peter’s Fiesta taken sometime in the 1950’s which I have converted to digital format. I love looking at the old photos and I hope someone can recognize the locations, people or exact year they may have been taken.
