This beautiful church on the town green in Rockport has always caught my eye. It seems very quintessential New England to me.

My View of Life on the Dock
This beautiful church on the town green in Rockport has always caught my eye. It seems very quintessential New England to me.

We recently went over to Annisquam River Pottery to pick up a donation check from Nina Testaverde Goodick in response to our Tipsy Seagull ice cream challenge (thanks so much Nina!). We had time for a little chat and studio tour. I am quite enchanted by the pottery cross adorned with sea glass. She told me a little family history, which is deeply woven into the fabric of Gloucester history. It was a heartwarming chat with a lovely lady. And her pottery is darn awesome too! Annisquam River Pottery can be found on Facebook by searching the same or at the link provided. Warning that one of those crosses may not be available to you if I get there first!







Gorgeous studio, one and two bedroom apartment homes located minutes to area beaches, downtown Gloucester and area shopping. Call us today to book your appointment for a private tour 978.515.2500 | halyard@DOLBEN.com | https://www.halyardapts.com/.

Here’s the move- You make fettuccini alfredo with fresh ricotta from Sclafani’s and then you top it with meaty Bolognese sauce and then top with super sharp grated parmesan.
Cut the damn check!
Outrageous.
The weather on Sunday was outstanding and Good Harbor Beach was beautiful.

Morning mist….

Lost puppy behind the former Cape Ann Brewery. This tugs at my heart thinking that its owner might be feeling very sad. Maybe this post will help them reunite.

Hands down one of my favorite noises on the waterfront…these seagulls were busy finding a meal and making a ruckus. Click the link to see/hear the video.

FOB Bex Borden suggested we post updated information for seasonal reopenings of restaurants and activities. Then she created the spreadsheet!
