My View of Life on the Dock
A downtown neighborhood institution, Larsen’s, 131 Main Street, Gloucester, Ma. is closing after 60 years. Think of all the generations of new shoes! My friends loved how professional they were, measuring for the right fit, and their great customer service.
Please support their shoe stock close out sale. Phone: (978) 828-1297
I’m excited to dive in!
What an amazing day on Sunday to kayak around Kettle Island and Magnolia Harbor.

My boys have been choosing to have their birthday dinners at the Studio for several years now. Thatcher’s birthday was at the end of May….so there was no dining out for him this year. I was so excited to see that The Studio was opening just in time for Finn’s birthday over the weekend. We enjoyed our annual birthday dinner on the deck on Friday night and everything was wonderful. The staff did a great job and, if I didn’t know so, I wouldn’t have guessed it was their first evening open for the season. It was a mild bummer to realize that they weren’t doing sushi yet, but the boys were happy to order all of their other favorites…. edamame, truffle fries, fish and chips, calamari, fried pickles, and grilled corn. Everything was delicious and it definitely felt like summer. Thanks, Studio!
I wandered down to the Harbor Loop to see what was going on and it appears the Schooner Adventure is being prepped! I had a little canine company while I was there (I thought it was called Dockwa not Dockwag……haha). Lots to look at, as always.
Bananas has reopened on Main Street! Two customers at a time are allowed in to browse a wide variety of clothing, jewelry and household accessories. GMG Jimmy left with 2 new-to-him shirts! Great to see you again! Waving from the doorway……

Join us as we dance to music from the musical West Side Story. Many of the songs come from an album called The Songs of West Side Story. Contemporary artists do their take on the classic Bernstein tunes. Some choreography for this routine is from Casey who did Slumdog Millionaire and some from my teacher Katie Capelli and from me. So it is also a choreographic compilation. Say that three times fast!
If you are new to Nia with Linda, these streaming classes are free. Share with anyone who you feel needs a little movement and fun in their lives during this period of social isolation.
