I took a long weekend in Bar Harbor for a foliage photography workshop in the Acadia National Park. As we were ferried around the area, I couldn’t help but notice how many similarities there seemed to be between Cape Ann and the Bar Harbor area. I think you will see that in the pictures that follow.

Each area is popular with visitors; each features fishing/lobstering; each is surrounded on all sides by water. Nearly immediately, however, I could see that their personalities are very different even as they hold their own unique charms. The “working waterfront” that the instructor thought was picturesque enough for its own photo shoot didn’t hold a candle to the rugged Glosta docks. (One bonus was the distinct lack of fish smell at this particular working dock, although I confess to kind of missing it.) The ocean was slamming against the giant rocks, giving the other participants (land-bound in their hometowns) quite a thrill. I was thinking how I’d just had my own storm wave photo shoot which included Good Harbor…….eh, Maine…I’ve seen better.

BUT the foliage was just glorious: rich reds, blazing oranges, glowing yellow at every turn. What a visual treat! I would return. But I’m not eating their lobster…..

The Salmon Over Corn Chowder Was Stupid.

Kate’s Cobb Salad Powered Her Through The Day!

Includes many Essex built schooner models and the “Phyllis A.” 1926 fishing vessel (the original ship is now being reconstructed in Gloucester).

The Jantelles will be at the Beverly Franco American Club, 44 Park Street, Beverly Saturday night October 19th from 8 PM Till Midnight performing juke box hits from the 50’s and 60’s. Come on down and enjoy and dance the night away!

So after buying no less than 10 lightning iPhone charging cables in the past calendar year I’m down to exactly ONE.  Yes ONE.  I have the same one from the beginning but others have somehow either lost or broken theirs.

My suspicion is that there are lots of adults that take care of their charging cables whose kids or spouses don’t necessarily take care of theirs.

Soooo these family member name cords are just what us responsible cell phone charging cable owners need.   No cord thievery.  Mom is responsible for Mom’s. Dad is responsible for Dad’s and so on down the line.

I looked it up on Amazon and they are not available.

So who wants to go in on it and have these bad boys mass-produced?

Just in time for Christmas shopping.  Let’s get it done and retire early while saving the sanity of responsible cell phone charging cable owners throughout the world!
