My View of Life on the Dock
I mean, really. The sunsets that happen over our Cape are breathtaking. I love to drive from the rotary towards the Annisquam, past Plum Cove Beach, Lanes Cove, the Lobster Pool, Halibut Point, Pigeon Cove, Granite Pier, Back Beach, Cape Hedge Beach, Good Harbor Beach, and Niles. It is impossible, I think, to do them all in one trip…but I like to see several each evening….or sit and savor just one.
Little River view under a lovely sky. Stopping to soak in the view one day recently. Just watch out for the large hornet nest in the tree over the picnic table…….I mistook the wasp busy-ness for a pleasant summer afternoon buzzing noise……
I have been experimenting with light painting, which is basically long exposure photography. I thought you might like some of the images I’ve gotten so far, including GMG Jim on his trumpet and a special Weber grill treatment for our grilling friends.
Our House Is 100% Electric. We’ve been cranking our AC. We actually have a National Grid Electric Bill Credit!
You’ve ridden out the stock market and can’t believe it’s as high as it is with a global pandemic going on and you have a chance to lock in those gains and actually set yourself up for the future by either not having to pay for Electric through your retirement or having your electric bill greatly reduced. Take some of those market gains off and secure your future against skyrocketing electricity costs. Imagine how great a feeling that will be as your friends are complaining about $500-$800 electricity bill in the winter and you’re kicking back without a bill!
I’m not sure how much more I could boil it down but here’s the latest bill (National Grid OWES US MONEY!)-
I LOOOOOVE GETTING THAT NATIONIAL GRID BILL AND SEEING THAT THEY OWE US MONEY! LOVE IT!

When kayaking at high tide on the Annisquam River noticed this great decoration. Also the painted frogs are a favorite of mine.
Windhover Performing Arts Center announces this 60 second trailer for Quarry Dance lX for you to view here below. The 30-minute film is still being edited, and original music is being composed for the film now by Russ Gershon.
In July 2020, Dušan Týnek Dance Theatre was in residence (safely) at Windhover, bringing two dancers at a time from New York to create solos and duets at three private Cape Ann Quarries. Boston based videographer Anders Johnson filmed the dancers from floats and boats in the quarry waters in order to capture unusual angles. The stunning results will be shown on the Windhover website via You Tube in early September. www.Windhover.org So stay tuned.
The Quarry Dances were born from a vision of Ina Hahn, Windhover’s founding Director, whose goal was to marry the art of dance with the pristine granite landscapes of the magical quarries of Cape Ann.

Just received this email from someone who I thought was legit, of course I would never do this. Checked her email and her legit email is different than what was sent.
Sorry for bothering you with this email, I need to get a Google play gift card of $200 but I can’t do this now cause I’m not feeling well and I tried purchasing online but unfortunately no luck with that. Can you get it from any store around you or online ? I’ll pay back as soon as I get better.
Await your soonest response.
This email scam is not new but seems to be resurfacing again. Always be wary of anyone asking you if you could do them a favor.
We had a really delicious and relaxing dinner on the deck of the Great Marsh Brewing Company in Essex on Tuesday night. The food was delicious…..I forgot to snap a photo of the brussels sprouts before we teared into them…and they were spectacular. Our party ordered burgers, cobb salads, pork tacos, Essex fried clams, fish and chips, and more. While I’ve enjoyed their beer before, we opted for one cold cocktail instead…a blackberry margarita…since it had been in the 90s all day. The view is wonderful too. While we sat on the deck, others were sitting off to the side at tables under their tent where you can order from the take-out window as well. It’s a great place to sit with friends or family.
Progress is being made at the new Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce building on Harbor Loop.
