Waves on Tuesday

Considering that Hurricane Teddy was over 350 miles away, the waves were very impressive.

Glad the Magnolia Pier is 2 feet higher.

Parker River Wildlife Refuge

We took a ride up to Parker River Wildlife Refuge in Newburyport on Sunday.

 

What a beauty of a day, the wind was blowing pretty hard the waves were large.  You could actually see the riptides coming in over the sand.  There were many egrets and the views were beautiful.

Support Small Businesses Especially This Week

The Cape Ann Chamber announced Sept 21-25 2020 as Small Business Week, designed to support and recognize resilience and creativity in this difficult economic period. Their blog post has further information and is available here.

I participated by visiting The Bookstore on Main Street in Gloucester. I was seeking some books for my grandson as well as for myself. Arwen was minding the counter and was helpful in assisting me. I happened to be the only customer, but a few more are allowed at a time as per COVID protocols. Use of sanitizer is encouraged and I felt very safe. Thanks to The Bookstore and Arwen for providing services in this time of need.

Row Your Boat Ashore

Row your boat ashore. We spend a lot of time on the beach at Owen Park when we’re down on Martha’s Vineyard. Finn always loves to fish….and the photo opportunities are endless.

Surprise Visit from Osprey

It is unusual to spot an osprey right in our backyard near Dolliver’s Neck, but we were treated to this surprise visitor yesterday. I was even more delighted to see he brought his meal along with him! You can see him gripping it even in the tree branch. An appropriate way to end summer, I guess. You are welcome back anytime, buddy!

Are you worried about running out of money?

Do you know the difference between a defined benefit plan and a defined contribution plan? Between a simple IRA, a SEP, or a ROTH IRA? Which plans provide guaranteed lifetime income and which do not? Which plans are exposed to the vagaries of equity markets and which are not? The fact is most people contribute to or participate in plans without professional advice or knowledge and don’t have a clue about their real exposure, risks and costs. Before you get too invested in a plan that may or may not provide you with the financial security you desire why not learn whether your plan is what you need and want? Call me today at (978)290-2462
