Don’t you love a scene that tells a story? I imagine a whimsical spirit lives here, with rocks arranged in the tree’s craggy branches and the swing hung in such a creative fashion.

Wow and double wow!! So many thanks to Ralph Martin at Preferred Auto Body for making my old(ish) car look brand new!!
This past winter I pulled over to the side of the road on Harbor Heights and got caught in a huge pot hole next to a storm drain. It tore my bumper and ripped out the front undercarriage. Shortly after that, I was bumped from the rear at the traffic lights on the 128 extension (by a super nice guy). Thanks to Ralph at Preferred Auto, they fit me into their busy schedule to take care of both, the front and the rear messes. My Prius was back at home in less than a week and it looks fabulous! Preferred Auto did an amazing, amazing job matching the paint, and on top of that, touched up a few scratches that were on the side of the car.
While my car was in the shop, they lent me a cute loaner car–a Toyota Corolla–very easy to drive, and at zero cost! I can’t recommend Preferred Auto Body enough.
Preferred Auto Body is located at 7 Pond Road in Gloucester. Phone: 978-283-2008 and ask for Ralph.

Rough seas, wind and cold on Wednesday. Living in New England sure is interesting, bathing suits one day and winter jackets the next.

The boys found this rock the other day in front of our terrace in the Bahamas. Turns out that it was painted and hidden in Ohio by a member of the Northeast Ohio Rocks! group. I snapped a couple of photos and shared our find on their Facebook page. In no time the “owner” of the rock wrote back saying,
We just painted that rock a few weeks ago (last week of March over our Spring Break) and hid in our tiny little hometown at a gas station. We knew it had been found as it was gone not long after we placed it there, but never dreamed it would make it out of the country! I painted that rock because my 7 year old son is obsessed with the Goodyear Blimp and was able to take a ride in it two years ago! I can’t wait to see where it will end up!
Kind of cool. So, now it is our turn to hide the rock. Hmmm. After the Bahamas we were off to the Islamorada and Key Largo in the Florida Keys for a couple of nights, now we’re in Hilton Head for two more days, and then we’ll drive through a whole bunch of states before landing home in Rockport.
I wonder where the rock will end up next. Great fun! Thanks, Northeast Ohio Rocks!
